Good to know that. I have a technical question though: how are people circumventing the Lintian checks, since GPLv3 is not yet in /usr/share/common-licenses/? If I add the text of GPLv3 to the debian/copyright file, then Lintian barks with "copyright-file-contains-full-gpl-license". If I add the COPYING file to the /usr/share/doc/<package>/ directory and put its location in debian/copyright, then Lintian yells with "extra-license-file". Of course, I can just ignore the Lintian grumblings and just upload the package, but I would like to know how the other developers are doing. -- Rafael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
