A while back I made a sugestion for a updated LSB version of xastir. I think the last one released was early 2008. A newer one would be real handy. I still use this on an older Ubuntu machine at times. Unless I am mistaken it gets around the Graphics magic issues with raster maps on the Debian distros as well . Currently we have to remove and then attempt to recompile GM or try Image Magic and hope for the best. Its a complicated and involved process for some. Considering I may not be hanging on to that install for very long then its a real time waste going through that excercise. I often reload and start again with different distros.
The LSB distro is a easy fast track to getting Xastir going and going well on a few different machines now. Ive noticed more and more distros appearing now awith LSB support as standard.

Just another push on the LSB front . Please .

 Sorry Curt
