Greetings,
The last libsafe upload has been over a year ago. Since then, libsafe
has accumulated a large number of bugs. The current Debian release doesn't
seem to be very effective. I've packaged the latest libsafe and made it

I'm currently packaging libdbix-password-perl.
The upstream code requires the administrator to introduce the user

Hi,
I had recently a runtime problem on s390 with a package that compiled fine.
After a while I figured out that it was caused by the fact that the package

Compiling with -fsigned-char, though it works, is not the "right"
solution. It's better to fix the bug in the code.
