[Pkg-running-devel] Garming plugin packages in Debian?

[Andreas Diesner]

Hello Ralf,

I removed the md5/* source code and the plugin now uses libgcrypt11 to
calculate md5 checksums. I attached a new version label V0.3.13.

You can download the source code here:
https://github.com/adiesner/GarminPlugin/tarball/V0.3.13

Cheers
Andreas
