Just to follow up, I talked to my upstream contact at limewire and he was very understanding.

Loose the ads. Thanks -greg -----Original Message----- From: michael cardenas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Michael Cardenas Sent: Monday, July 29, 2002 5:32 AM To: Greg Bildson Subject: Re: building limewire I figured out the clean, thanks. Actually, ads.war isn't in cvs. I would like to ask you to consider that debian users are not just users, most of them are developers. So, by making this package available to people without ads, you will be making a great impression on the developer community and may get lots of free development and new traffic going to lw.org. If you want me to include the ads, I will, but as debian usres are going to hate it, and submit bugs against it, I'm going to make it a run time option. My plan is to add an item in options or to make a menu item. I don't want to be confrontational at all, or give you the impression that the community doesn't appreciate your use of the gpl, but the user community won't want to see ads in software with code freely available, and they will expect me to remove them. thanks michael On Mon, Jul 29, 2002 at 12:08:32PM -0400, Greg Bildson wrote: > make clean = ant clean. > > You probably need an ads.war file which is there until you run the program > and then gets unpacked into lib/ads/* > > I'm not sure if the build.xml handles all of those. http, messages and > bitzi are fairly new and images is no code.
