I'm not really that proficient in CDBS and I don't really have so much spare time right now for learning it properly. I understand that Gnash might be a package complex enough for needing to understand how CDBS works and not just blindly use it. I might switch to it in the future though, but I need to have time to properly switch to it. > Gnash packaging use a more classical packaging style that would require > more care to do the same thing.

I'll do that then. I was just waiting to see if you got it working with a lower version of libtool. > Hope that helps. Yup, it does :) Thanks, Miry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
