Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : elfutils * Version : 0.120 * Upstream Author : redhat (Ulrich Drepper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) * URL :ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/systemtap/elfutils/ * License : GPL Description : A collection of utilities and DSOs to handle compiled objects. Elfutils is a collection of utilities, including ld (a linker), nm (for listing symbols from object files), size (for listing the section sizes of an object or archive file), strip (for discarding symbols), readelf (to see the raw ELF file structures), and elflint (to check for well-formed ELF files). Also included are numerous helper libraries which implement DWARF, ELF, and machine-specific ELF handling.
>From the changelog: - The license is now GPL for most files. The libelf, libebl, libdw,and libdwfl libraries have additional exceptions. Add reference toOIN. (This allow to link with any open source license approved by OSI) It contains other libraries which have something simular in Debian already. libelf (with binary package libelfg0) seems to do exactly the same, so maybe we should look at only providing one of them. I have no idea why it has the g in it's name though. libdw seems to be simular to libdwarf, but differ alot. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
