Dirk> 1. The package contains nothing but the binary. It *must* contain at Dirk> least the copyright file. Docs would be nice.
Christoph> There is no copyright. The packages origin are unknown. I can Christoph> just generate a file with "Unknown" in it. Are you sure there is nothing in the source code? I have yet to see a (publicly released) program in which the author didn't leave a note. Dirk> 2. It has no Depends: on libc5 or elf-x11r6lib. Christoph> Hmm. Some other packages were taken without it. Where can I find Christoph> docs on these things? Install a recent dpkg and read the html'ed policy and programmers manuals below /usr/doc/dpkg, or download and study the debian sources of other packages. Dirk> 3. It uses the old VERSION and PACKAGE_REVISION format which is Dirk> obsolete. Christoph> What are the new requirements. See the policy and programmers manuals. -- Dirk Eddelb"uttel http://qed.econ.queensu.ca/~edd
