Hello, I am an rpncalc user. I noticed this bug report and I have a little comment to drop... I am under the impression that the change you request is not possible, since * rpncalc is released under GPL v2 only * readline5 is released under GPL v2 or later * readline6 is released under GPL v3 or later * GPL v3 is incompatible with GPL v2 Please correct me, if I am overlooking something. Maybe rpncalc may be adapted to use libedit, which is released under a 3-clause BSD license? -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/progs/scripts/pdebuild-hooks.html Need some pdebuild hook scripts? .....................................................
