[Debichem-devel] Question about packaging InChI library

[Katsuhiko Nishimra]

Hi, thank you for your replies.

I've uploaded a new version without vc9 directories,
but if there is no reason to strip them off, 
I'm inclined to revert the changes.

Now, can I ask here you debichem members to review the package?
Or should I open a RFS bug?

Besides, I've published a repository with the git buildpackage history
on github [1].
Please make use of it for the review.
