Hello Alessandro

If that's the Debian way, I will just leave it like that and ship an extra package for xnoise-plugins > IIRC, the *.so file is just a symlink to the actual library. Ok. Good point > Btw, the package didn't show up on mentors.d.n yet, hence I couldn't check > the modifications you did (it may just be a problem of mentors.d.n... it > happens sometimes). Hmm. I uploaded and it was visible here: http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=xnoise But I also couldn't get it via repo. So I'll upload again in a few minutes. > > Final suggestion (I forgot to say this in the previous email), you may want > to join the Debian Multimedia Team [0] to maintain this package (it > would be easier for you to find an uploader and some help to maintain the > package).

I'll have a look into that. Hope they don't just pull out the current git version instead of a release.
