That information is not related to upstream. This is a pure Debian internal matter. If you took over the package by adopting it, you /are/ the maintainer. Since there is an Alioth project for you already you may want to set the pkg-gtkpkd list as maintainer and yourself as uploader instead. > Never thought > the split of the library could be an issue; it has been suggested by the > guys in #debian-mentors to resolv a lintian warning. > Once they'll knock on my door, I'll ask them even about this. > Thank you for the advice. It wasn't me in particular to suggest you this, however I somewhat followed your progress: Your problem is, you can't (read: should not) install libraries into a system wide location (e.g. /usr/lib/) from a binary package whose name is not lib<whatever>. If you do nonetheless lintian will croak and the DD which is interested to sponsor you will ask you to change this. You have two alternatives: * Provide libfoo as you did and install to a system wide location, but if you do the library must be useful for /other/ packages than yours too and you should include a -dev package providing headers and .so symlinks which allows other people to link against your package. I don't think your library falls in this category. * Install the library to a program local location, e.g /usr/lib/gtkpod and ship it in the main package. If you prefer this way, you probably have to tweak Makefile and/or library search paths on link time a bit, if upstream does not support this by default. Don't consider setting rpath though. - -- with kind regards, Arno Töll GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJNvr5DAAoJEMcrUe6dgPNtFmwQAJhQTViUx+m3OZFOxjr668w2 56zk+b0psbJ9t36p+P2zX1tywdcmLTTYA+nwet812cBlcbbE545Pn0D7m+vTmJ7D 4wuW38vr2PGkcL4JuNZ7VX8Tw7dbu8HrCDCawsAScmhkCNVaHVIIYubdozFmVIxe RQ/tAlyBXQ/HYLn+0vSPRKEwDVNEa9TyH/S9oVM3hIct/p4jf3iC1PPpUVqUp2fc fNlyRAIuj/bKUjEazipr+Ul/z4Bd5hzcUtNtGizL9RIwpplZZTvA9HQSI3NsszpK Ea8O80L0xsOcr17pYyUCZ6lMOBRPZ72v0/fihUVaRGHIIjRc4+YYaz9qTUnmx/S1 1XDHEdojPD9GkK0dtu0TE+j+fPBUcTm/gIyerLkeewhPUy9eqFaNSL2l1sOJkicS 5xkQsjC3xnRcOr9iE6DhkGcuLGwjM+aA8aRgtra5s7bwHK4/VRGvSesQXtA5KW59 b4FK99iWF2MfYqwqwDmEtUG82jLMTJY96LWHH2EB3Bms+/nq0rkfdygrDgPY8kYs gC2rm+2UybYFFPJW7KUunttbbJUG7bAOOsmqfKGtVbftoO/Q86i/C/3pPzMJ9HBX /YcEfPQ8+gZjZlwLtJ1Bk4dvNtsO7tcFcKpDszsIGNvCbpKI09oQZJ1rBd4il9oo 9MlWONEppJTjhkZLd/l7 =JEs2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
