- This is packaged as Debian-native (tar.gz with no diff). Since upstream doesn't seem to have the debian/ directory, it should be included in the patch. - With your build-dependencies, the result is a binary linked against OpenSSL. This is a violation of copyright to distribute, since the OpenSSL license and GPL are not compatible. The source seems to have GNU TLS support in it; you should make sure it uses that (via ./configure) instead of OpenSSL. - "Remember to check back for new versions, apt-get update often!" (from your README.Debian) doesn't make sense when someone is running stable. In addition, Debian doesn't recommend apt-get as a general "end user" tool. - debian/rules has a lot of debhelper cruft, making it harder to read and increasing the build time. Also, you should look into setting the compatibility level to 4 instead of 3 (and possibly making the changes to update Standards-Version while you're at it). > These packages can be obtained via apt-get here: > deb http://digitalssg.net/debian ./ > deb-src http://digitalssg.net/debian ./ -- Joe Wreschnig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
