Ahh, thanks Aoki-san, for the explanation. The package description makes sense to me now :-) Licensecheck has improved a lot since it was split from devscript 3.5 years ago, and I see now that dbmake simply hasn't been updated for quite some time (which I guess is a _good_ sign!). I now filed a bugreport requesting update of long description to avoid confusion. > My #1 homework for debmake is to remove internal licensechecking and > let it call Smedegaard's licensecheck ;-) debmake should be thin glue > to call purpose focused command. Please do. Also, please file wishlist bugreports against licensecheck for any ideas you might have for information you would like licensecheck to gather and ways to most optimally pass it to your use: I am (still, 3.5 years in) working on reorganizing the code into reusable libraries, and requests and dreams from users are quite helpful. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
