Re: [Bug-gcal] Issues with 3.5.1 release

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

Hi Ulrich,

I have fixed some of the problems you have listed, though I am not sure
if we really want to distribute man pages and the german documentation
as they are unmaintained; moreover the gnu official documentation is
maintained using texinfo.

Sorry if your patches were skipped, I became maintainer few months ago
and I didn't see them, I absolutely wanted to do a release as the last
tarball didn't even build.  Can you please send me again your patches?
If there are pending changes I would like to merge them in the gnu
package so more users can benefit from them, I have already done it with
several Debian patches; I'll take care of the whitespaces.

It is quite late here, tomorrow I'll dig better in the bug tracker
comments.

Thanks!
Giuseppe
