Hello,
I don't know if it is a misconfiguration from my side, but I keep getting the 2.2.18-1 of the old graph-tool package. I ran apt-get update, added the new gpg key and uninstalled the previous version of the package. But the new python-graph-tool package cann't be found while the "older" is stuck at that version.
I'm running Ubuntu and using the "precise" distribution.

Thanks in advance,
Giuseppe

Hi,

The modifications below were made to the graph-tool packages. I also
renamed the package to conform to the debian guidelines, and I also
made a package for python3. The package names are now

    python-graph-tool
    python3-graph-tool

Cheers,
Tiago
