Adam,

What you just said above is truth only for windows platforms, in Debian,
browsers will NOT evolved, and software are fixed with a single version
for the life of the distribution. In the case of Debian, you can
reasonably expect Squeeze to last for something like 3 years. Now, if
you are telling me that you will NOT bring any support if there's an
issue that needs to be fixed, then I'll reverse and remove the
libjs-extjs package from Debian. Please let me know, this is very
important!

It has been announce yesterday at the Debconf 10 in NYC that Squeeze
has been frozen: no new version of any software can get in now.

Now, to illustrate what I just wrote above, we got a first issue to
address with version 3.0.3, and I cannot upgrade to 3.2.1, as Squeeze
is frozen. Please visit this URL:

I didn't spot it, but your app is embedding SWFUpload.

First of all, I have to say that embedding a foreign library that is
with a different license and author is a very bad practice. I would
push you to REMOVE it from future release. But that's not my point
here. I wanted to ask if it was ok if I remove completely the folder
from the Debian package. FYI, I'm talking about what is in
examples/image-organizer/SWFUpload/. As this is in the example folder,
I guess that it is ok to just delete the full folder. I might work on
packaging SWFUpload separately, but that's another story.

Do you know if there are anything of the same kind in your software?
I really wouldn't like if this happened again. Your example folder
is quite big, and it would be a big task to search for anything
else. As it is right now, if you can't tell me 100% that there is
no other things that were imported, that's ok, but I really got to
know so that I can either remove them or list them in
debian/copyright.

Best Regards,

    Thomas Goirand
