Re: New Debian packaging effort

[bojo42]

Oh your look was a bit to early, since i didn't upload the new version
because i wanted to wait for your responses regarding the SVG.

But here we go again: http://mentors.debian.net/package/pspp

I included the proposed SVG until we have something proper.

Only thing missing is another update to pspp.doc-base, the text is right
now at:

Abstract: PSPP is a tool for statistical analysis of sampled data. 
It reads a syntax file and a data file, analyzes the data, and writes
the results to a listing file, standard output or various other output
formats.
The language accepted by PSPP is similar to those accepted by SPSS
statistical products.  The details of PSPP's language are given
in this manual.
Besides the command line tools it also features a GTK+ based GUI named
psppire,
that is user friendly and also provides an integrated help system.
