I think that we should develop this library, and release it to the public just like any other upstream package. We should (if possible) write it as a distribution independent solution to the problem and then package it for Debian. Finally name it something other than libdebian, and we'd probably have a good chance of getting others to start using it in their upstream sources for all platforms. -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
