I see. So that is not a real problem. Do I simply tar the sources with non-US bits removed and call that tar foo.orig.tar.gz, or is there a special procedure? > Marc> Can anybody confirm that CAST is not among the non-USable > Marc> offenses? > >First, CAST is actually going to be less exportable than SHA. CAST is >a crypto system family, SHA is a hash. I am an idiot. The current version of the package has CAST, and the new has CAST and SHA, with an option to remove SHA. So, the package needs to be in non-US since there is no option of removing CAST. I mixed that up, sorry again. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
