I think it should go in /usr/lib. What snoopy does is similar to what electric-fence does, in the sense that both override libc functions. libefence is packaged in /usr/lib. > 2) If I make a bug-fix, and submit it upstream, do I have to wait for > the upstream version to apply my fix, or can I just apply it myself. > (In one of my packages, there were some GTK warnings, so I fixed > those, and sent a patch to the upstream guy, but can I just apply them > now, as part of my .diff?) You can make any changes you like as part of your diff, as long as the license permits it. Eric
