Hi, Andreas, I looked to see if there was some way to get around this problem. I found an apparently free implementation of the dbmalloc interface as part of mpatrol [1], but mpatrol is no longer in Debian [2] and it's probably not sensible to try to reintroduce it.
I might also suggest to upstream to consider alternative projects that provide similar functionality [3], but development of this software is not particularly active (though I think the package itself is still useful), so I do not think upstream will be handling this issue soon. I will still contact them to see if they want to do anything about it. May I suggest that we upload the package to non-free in the meantime? Thanks and regards Afif 1. https://github.com/groleo/mpatrol/blob/master/tools/dbmalloc.h 2. https://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mpatrol.html 3. http://c-faq.com/resources/mallocdbg.html -- Afif Elghraoui | عفيف الغراوي http://afif.ghraoui.name On الخميس 26 تشرين الثاني 2015 14:01, Thorsten Alteholz wrote: > > Hi Afif, > > after a short glimpse, I have to reject your package as I am not allowed to > modify dbmalloc.h > > Thorsten > > === > > Please feel free to respond to this email if you don't understand why > your files were rejected, or if you upload new files which address our > concerns. > >
