Re: New Debian packaging effort

[bojo42]

Regarding compiling on Debian Sid i had and still have some problems:

- Already fixed in git since a few hours are the needed patches
regarding "$(GSL_LIBS)". Great :)

- What still prevents compilation are some testsuite strikes:

 20: numeric format output    FAILED (data-out.at:47)
 97: too many value labels    skipped (sys-file-reader.at:2766)
 183: GET DATA /TYPE=PSQL    skipped (get-data-psql.at:124)
 914: Perl Pspp.t    skipped (perl-module.at:706)

Could really use some help for the FAILED one. Do you really need the
"testsuite.log" as it's quite tricky to get it out of my pbuilder setup.

Alright i took git from the 7th of January, but switching now to todays
master because of the gsl_libs patches.
