I'm not so much worried about the size (they could go into a -data package), as the redundancy with other packages (Debian seems to like to avoid this) and copyright/freeness. Regarding the former, there are no files with these names in Debian, so it might take some work to convert OCC's functions to use Debian's files. On the latter, they are probably distributable, but definitely not free as in software. I won't worry about it for now. > FYI you can test DRAWEXE this way: > $ DRAWEXE > Draw[1]> Draw[2]> pload ALL > [lots of lines] > Draw[3]> source > /usr/share/opencascade/6.2/src/DrawResources/VisualizationDemo.tcl Thanks, looks great! > You should add --disable-debug to configure flags, AFAICT this is how > official releases are built.

Okay, I'm posting my test 6.2-4 packages now in http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/opencascade/ and will rebuild -5 with this option. Thank you again! I'm glad we're going to have a working OCC package in Debian! -Adam -- GPG fingerprint: D54D 1AEE B11C CE9B A02B C5DD 526F 01E8 564E E4B6 Engineering consulting with open source tools http://www.opennovation.com/
