[Pkg-pascal-devel] [Lazarusdev] lazarus 1.8~rc1 contains non-dfsg images in component

[Paul Gevers]

Hi Mattias,

I fail to recognize which changes you are talking about¹. Was there
maybe a response to Abou's mail that didn't make it to the
pkg-pascal-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org list? Is there a public archive
somewhere where I can read back?

Paul
¹ the svn archive looks outdated. Has development moved to a different
location?
