Perhaps this issue could be solved by manipulating source tarballs in question to obfuscate the problematic snippets. Eg, gpg --encrypt --symmetric --passphrase WhiteList ICKY-FILE This would be unpacked appropriately at build time. If the same issue comes up for binaries, a similar mechanism could be used there, with the post-installation scripts doing the de-obfuscation.
I won't say it's pretty ... but it would suppress these false positives. --Barak. -- Barak A. Pearlmutter Hamilton Institute & Dept Comp Sci, NUI Maynooth, Co.
