Hello,
the Commodore ROM images are part of the source and binary packages in SID and
Lenny. Etch is only partly affected, it contains the ROM images
data/PET/basic2, data/PRINTER/cbm1526, data/PRINTER/mps801 and
data/PRINTER/mps803.
Regarding to the copyright, control, README.Debian and README.ROMs files this
should not be the case due to copyright issues.
Additional notes:
1) There is a romtest included in the debian/rules files which should AFAIK
prevent building the package with ROM images, but the romtest is
unfortunately not called during the build procedure e.g. with
dpkg-buildpackage.
2) AFAIK the mangle-source.sh script should remove the ROM images prior to
build by overwriting them with dummy entries. This works however not for
data/PRINTER/mps803.
3) The debian/rules script contains the following:
# Remove the 0-byte placeholders
cd debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/lib/vice && find . -empty -exec rm {} \;
which should AFAIK remove the placeholders made with the mangle-source.sh
script. This does unfortunately also not work since the placeholders
containing 6 bytes and are not empty. As a result the dummy ROM images are
included in the .deb file and during installation valid ROM images are
overwritten with the dummy files.
Regards,
Andi
