Greetings, Being in the process of packaging mkelfImage for Debian and Ubuntu, I came across a few issues that definitely will prevent this software from being accepted by the FTP Master. Thankfully, most of them are easily fixed: * News should be called ChangeLog and include the name of whoever made each change. * Each source file (c, h, S) must include proper copyright notice and credits at the top. * The build fails unless it is ./configure'd twice, because it misses Makefile.conf. * Makefile.conf would preferably be replaced by more traditional Makefile.am and Mafefile.in to really be portable. * config.log and various other files that should be cleaned before shipping were found in the archive for mkelfImage 2.7 on the lnxi FTP server. * The filename of the archive should be all lowercase. However, a more serious problem is that it fails to compile using recent GCC and glibc6. Would it be possible for this package to be updated keeping in mind the above issues?
