Bug#1129012: app is improperly packaged

Show all headers | View raw

Hi, thanks for your report contribution.

I reported the first issue to the upstream.
https://github.com/arunsivaramanneo/GPU-Viewer/issues/108

the second will be fixed in the next release.

And for the third, gpu-viewer uses /tmp/gpu-viewer for its data,
If the programme doesn't close correctly, the tmp dir won't be removed, so it is not a bug.

Whenever you get the next GPU-Viewer update, I'll be grateful for the feedback (Except for items 1 and 3)
