Package: ifupdown Version: 0.7.43 The source code of this package has been written as a single large NoWeb file. The Makefile automatically converts it into C and documentation. However, I found this initially mystifying, as I suspect it would also be to other casual readers who would like to know better how the software works. I imagine it also makes it difficult to maintain. It would be easy enough to convert it to a conventional C project:
Run the makefile to generate the C files. Generate again a few C files that get deleted, for some reason. Clean up the C files by removing #line indicators and reindenting. Copy any useful documentation from the noweb file into new C comments. Rework the makefile to build from C, removing references to noweb. Delete unneeded noweb files and build tools. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
