[Dune-devel] Alberta issues

[Christoph Grüninger]

Hi Simon,
I agree with you, removing RPC from Alberta would be the right thing to 
do. And it would be some work.

Having my two minor patches for Alberta not merged or even reviewed by 
anybody, doesn't add motivation to install Autotools and investigate the 
issue.

Hmm, so won't be able to update the Debian package to 3.0.3 (from 3.0.1) 
and the package will break, once Debian updates it Autotools. Sad.

Bye
Christoph
