I briefly reviewed the copyright information of libbluecove and was kind of irritated by README and LICENSE saying it is LGPL while *all* (well, a few even missing license/copyright information) the source files say it is Apache 2.0 licensed!? Could you please get some clarifification from upstream? Please get this fixed first as BlueCove-GPL relies on this one and cannot be built without it. > BlueCove-GPL builds these binary packages: > libbluecove-gpl-2.1.0 - additional module for BlueCove support on Linux > (native library) > libbluecove-gpl-2.1.0-java - additional module for BlueCove support on > Linux (java library) > > BlueCove is lintian clean however BlueCove-GPL has two warnings: > E: libbluecove-gpl-2.1.0: > sharedobject-in-library-directory-missing-soname > usr/lib/libbluecove-2.1.0.so > W: libbluecove-gpl-2.1.0: > library-not-linked-against-libc ./usr/lib/libbluecove-2.1.0.so > > I would appreciate help with these as I have run out of ideas. > Run lintian with the additional flag -i to get a more detailed description, which can also be found here: http://lintian.debian.org/tags/sharedobject-in-library-directory-missing-soname.html http://lintian.debian.org/tags/library-not-linked-against-libc.html > The other small issue with the packages is the Maintainer, I created a > Java package recently (ant-contrib-cpptasks), for which the Maintainer > is the Debian Java Maintainers > <pkg-java-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org>, should this package (as > its a java package) have this Maintainer also? > [...] I guess this is up to you, whether you prefer future team maintenance or would like to stay the lone maintainer of these packages.
