[gnuastro-commits] master 1f17cbd 2/3: Updated description for Debian release

[Mohammad Akhlaghi]

branch: master
commit 1f17cbdb746ed08df552fc60c354d0875abb4f63
Author: Mohammad Akhlaghi <address@hidden>

    Updated description for Debian release
    
    The current version of Gnuastro was checked on the debian package manager
    and things seemed to work nicely (except some warnings about not using the
    return value of `asprintf', which can be ignored for now). In the process,
    the description was edited to be more clear.
