Indeed, both (re-)implement some part of DJB's libraries. While tinycdb concentrates on the cdb functions, libowfat has a wider scope. However, I guess they are not API compatible because of different headers (e.g. libowfat splits off cdb_make_* functions to cdb_make.h. > Maybe we should merge the two somehow? We could identify which reverse (build) dependencies use this interface and which library is more popular. It would be easiest and most general to just coexist by "Conflict"ing or even adding an alternative. bye, Roland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
