Sorry for not linking to the .orig tarball (although there's nothing interesting there). Version 0.2 hushes a lintian --pedantic warning about no upstream changelog. We can't have such a stellar example clean with merely the normal options :p dget http://angband.pl/debian/pool/main/g/goodbye/goodbye_0.2-1.dsc About suggestions for clojure and brainf*ck: really, I intended to use an ELF object embedded in debian/rules. The policy says it has to be an executable makefile, but there is no requirement of it being a text file :p Zero bytes and newlines would have to be escaped, but that's nothing new, the tcc version already has to escape the latter. It would satisfy the policy as long as the source would be present and used during build -- but no one says we'd need to stay away from Ken Thompson tricks. There's a bunch of compilers in the archive already which do require themselves to build. -- 1KB // Yo momma uses IPv4! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
