Hi.

I think that upstream developers were mainly worried by the fact that there were many slightly different versions of GeoGebra and users were confused by that. Anyway, now I'm in contact with upstream and discuss with them nearly anything I do with the package. This is also useful for me, because I receive help by the people that know the code at best. Moreover, they want that I publish on the forum the packages I upload, so that their beta testers can test the package as well.

I just uploaded to Debian the last upstream version and will continue to work on it in the next few days (I'll be out of town from July 25th to 31st, without any Internet access). Some things are still missing (the thumbnailer for GNOME, for example) and there could be some bugs.

Matthias, it would be really nice if you could ask the sync also for the next versions of the package. Do you have any preference between syncing each version or doing one big sync at the end? Keep in mind that first former option would permit more testing by people that test maverick, but I don't know the standard procedures in Ubuntu, so the decision it's up to you.

Last question: could you explain me why geogebra is here[1] but not here[2]? (I'm not very confident with Ubuntu release process)

Thanks, Giovanni.
