Hello, all mentors! Please clarify for me, in which section should go a GPL-licensed package, which is quite unusable without (but technically not Depends on), er, obscure blobs of data, usually gathered by a way of sniffing data flow between a proprietary application and a hardware device, and then just repeated as is?
I'm interested in a package named "eciadsl": Package: eciadsl Priority: extra Section: net Installed-Size: 300 Maintainer: Marco d'Itri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 0.10-1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4) Recommends: ppp (>= 2.4.2+20031002-3), hotplug Filename: pool/main/e/eciadsl/eciadsl_0.10-1_i386.deb Size: 137476 MD5sum: aefea4baeafe774bfa5ec792a8ece8bc SHA1: 250b3c357ad09f2dfbe53d21aa53b97700e61372 SHA256: e898c2642af6975be63428215636b0c7850e7a72f1c4273a07b4d23d72945c47 Description: userspace driver for the Globespan-based USB ADSL modems This package contains userspace utilities and daemons necessary to get working in Linux the USB ADSL modems based on the Globespan chipset. It requires so called "synch" file, which "fits" your ADSL provider, and load it to your modem during initialization process. A bunch of ready to use "synch" files is available for no cost from the eciadsl upstream (http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/download.php), but not included in eciadsl package. Seems like all that "synch" data was sniffed from USB under Windows and proprietary device driver. To me, this package should be moved from main to contrib. -- Regards, Al Nikolov jid: [EMAIL PROTECTED] irc: clown uin: 312108671 pgp fingerprint: 4B50 F1E3 080C 21A2 91F4 8BF0 CD60 3B5A 2ECF 984B -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
