Please ask upstream to remove embedded code copies from their SVN and tarballs. If they refuse to do so it is a good idea to remove them in the initial phase of debian/rules build before a compiler is involved so that there is less chance they will be used in the future. If you're already repacking the tarball due to DFSG issues you may as well remove them in get-orig-source. If it turns out that they are modified by your upstream and as a result you cannot remove them at build or repack time, please let the Debian security team know so they can take a note of it in their (very scary) embedded-code-copies file. > - or distinct programs, which work with or depend on collada-dom, and > are released with it.

You won't be able to build those from the same source package. I'd suggest asking upstream to split them out into a separate source package collada-dom-cg so that anyone who is interested can build them if needed. In addition, please ask them to look into porting that stuff to GLSL/OpenCL. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
