[Pkg-scicomp-devel] quaddouble in Debian

[Christophe Prud'homme]

Tim,

you have been added to pkg-scicomp on alioth

Tim, Ondrej,

I updated qd to 2.3.4 and now it is in the mergeWithUpstream mode.
The diff is small because I use the --enable-maintainer-mode to reconstruct
automatically the configure script to enable shared libs
and then thanks to svn-buildpackage the changes to configure and makefiles
never enter the diff
