If we can resolve the issue with the tests and add a warning to the package description, I'd be OK with adding it. However, the tests currently error out or fail, even though the package builds successfully. That's concerning, and I don't feel comfortable adding the package, even with a warning, until it's been addressed. I don't have a lot of time to work on this right now. I will eventually get around to it, but if somebody wants MAT sooner, please feel free to take over and do it before I get around to it. =2D-=20 Chris --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEy/WXVcvn5+/vGD+x3UCaFdgiRp0FAls91twACgkQ3UCaFdgi Rp1MtQ//S1xF1wm70TPtPvvpg9DzzaAFxLAwQ2UXtGuv+JJuEZue0qsD5d98XM2C tYn53rhJxaipe1s3GeFHbWCwlwMWSZnlK8dZu/BCco53AoTew3/C51wchHfqhvZf ZPSetprCk3aw7WYG8JvDpL0HFQ1kFaSnRq4DZgqown6Lqruf2PdH3SMvGkppc8fS cw6qzziW3cP03OBLhj57v0D6DzGwrUsiWc+IFihdkE1u9eojKPKC4dh35c12uG1A WoFGhVdHp0eWzOxyoHWwKxKBuN9HM+e21/1EppefxrhIdldDZGa9P52Ow5QJcDuY x2/Cv7Iar72VHCBzvTpFAPsd+qCJl4sAntKs+dPawBHXwoTEuwmE9NPWBzburGmf HZQRNUUER+RrC07iX9OrHBYd+4tlvKasWvrFxbeNaV06k45GiorvuSqvGiAGyDjQ SCp7mObVdCqSkfRIAO9vI7wBzZHe++CAVcbTXYP6LmB/dzHDW+xaTCB4Rs2qqw1n YdrboD7nOoaOKs3O5xXX9rldx2pPjHfEt/qodgxnzRwbxSq153bxdi7YBAHEyfLz 4rKd1dVs+m5eUNRKiK72KxLo/QhEWqB2eEXwz4/GAl7FeRNQgTKr62Japtep6DTt 6Wqnzl+b0pvTFykqafkKCXogPNZxl0rWXgS5ieNvLfKMHouLBwA= =3VAp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
