Hi y'all,

To summarize the e-mail transcript below, I expressed an interest to
Ross Burton in a debian package for the newest version of meld, he
hinted that I should package it myself, I did (and sent him my work),
and I volunteered to help the debian gnome packaging team with other
work, and he suggested I contact you directly.

Would you like me to send you my packaging? YES, it IS based upon a
checkout of
    svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-gnome/packages/unstable/meld

See below for a summary of my changes.

Hi Boruch,

Sorry, email overload as usual.  As I said I'm not really a Debian
developer these days (only in name).  I believe Meld is co-maintained
by the GNOME Packaging Team so you should contact them.  This also
means that the canonical location for the packaging will be in the
pkg-gnome repository somewhere on Alioth.
