Thanks ;) > You'll find my proposed source package at : > http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libapache2-mod-auth-cas/ You started off -2 which was a bit behind (-5 on http://michele.pupazzo.org/debian).

I kind of prefer the prefix, because when you have to split the source package in more binary packages you already have a clean separation. But I really don't have a strong opinion about this. > * no-longer configure+build twice when dpkg-buildpackage-ing > (configure-stamp use) Included. > * removed incorrect watch file That I had removed in more recent uploads.

Regarding the GPL points you make, you are correct. That is one (other one is below) reason I never really pushed anything forward into debian (the ITP is in fact not mine). I still have to get off my butt and ask upstream (Matt Smith) about it. The other point, is that I think it makes sense to push this in Debian only if the CAS server is also present as a package. If you feel like landing in a hand, we can set up something on alioth to get this in shape. regards, Michele
