[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Current GNUstep transition almost finished

[Gürkan Sengün]

Hi

Just some quick notes and comments... (and thanks for the work)

great libical made it in, make sure you get the latest simpleagenda 
(and
i'd package it as agenda, maybe with a new 1:version)

> cenon.app

this was also transitioned but also got lost during ries breakage:
http://gnu.ethz.ch/debian/cenon/

> paje.app
> projectcenter.app

gnu.ethz.ch/debian/batmon/

> The following packages are ready and will be uploaded soon (by the

> 
> etoile
> gtamsanalyzer.app
> mpdcon.app
> plopfolio.app
> wrapperfactory.app

> These packages have either missing binaries on some architectures

> arm:	 gnustep-dl2, gorm.app, helpviewer.app

> Waiting to be retried:
> hppa:	 oolite (actual failure due to missing build-dep)
> sparc:	 talksoup.app (likewise)
