>> Dear all,
>> dear Sergei,
>>
>> I would appreciate if you could re-review the package and proceed by
>> uploading it.
>>
>> For the records, due to license-documentation issues, the initial upload
>> was kicked off the upload queue.
>>
>> These issues have been tackled. Unfortunately, Sergei has not responded
>> to my request for re-upload since mid-Nov '14. I was not able to get
>> hold of him on IRC either.

>> Cheers,

>>> Dear Debian Tcl/Tk'lers!
>>>
>>> As announced quite some time ago, I prepared a new Debian package for
>>> review and upload (see ITP #766486). NSF/NX/XOTcl2 are the successors of
>>> XOTcl.
>>>
>>> See https://next-scripting.org/.
>>>
>>> The actual initial (non-beta) release of NSF/NX/XOTcl2 is planned for
>>> the next couple of days (before or on Oct 26th). To speed up the overall
>>> process, I prepared the source package "nsf" with a current SCM snapshot
>>> (2.0.0~b6) for review.
>>>
>>> Once reviewed and fixed, switching to the then available release sources
>>> will be straight forward.
>>>
>>> I used git-buildpackage (in a standard layout: debian/sid, upstream,
>>> pristine-tar). For the review, I published the source-package repo to
>>>
>>> http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/nsf.git/
>>>
>>> The packages are lintian clean, I followed the Debian Tcl/Tk policy
>>> 0.3.0, and tested the installation of the debs.
>>>
>>> I kindly ask for your reviews and the promotion of the package.
>>>
>>> That said, do you see any chance of landing before the Jessie deadline?
>>> I know, the ITP queues are extensive, but still, I was hoping naive as I
>>> am ;)
>>>
>>> Best,
>>> Stefan
