Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist I intend to package libtar, which is available from http://www-dev.cso.uiuc.edu/libtar/ its a c library for creating/extracting tar archives.
I want use the package in a project i am working on, the only projects i know of that use libtar are epkg and i think some slackware packaging tool (they have no debian packages). tar is a pretty fundamental tool so i think it will be a useful library to have. Current progress of my packaging effort is at people.debian.org/~bug1/libtar problems i need to fix before uploading are, - shared library version number - fix up example application - add build dependencies In order to build the shared library i changed the build system to use libtool and autoconf v2.5, my config files introduce some problems that upstream doesnt have, so i need to improve them before trying to sync them with upstream.
