ACK. Having separate packages for public libraries and utils which just happen to use these libs should be the default case. Not just because of circular deps - which, in 99.99% have absolutely _no_ technical reason, beside certain people's mental lazyness (at least that's what my about 20yrs swe experience shows up ;-o) - but also a matter of clean sw design. This should start at the source, so if upstream doesnt want to fix this, let's fork. (i'm hereby volunteering as maintainer). cu PS: please no "we're not debian"-flamewars ;-o -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
