Topic 3: Guidelines for Motif applications

STATE: APPROVAL

The following policy has been suggested on debian-policy and will become
official unless someone objects:

     Guidelines for Motif applications
     ---------------------------------

     If you package a program that requires a non-free Motif library, it
     would be good if you can provide a "foo-smotif" and a "foo-dmotif"
     package, containing a (against Motif libraries) statically and a
     dynamically linked version, respectively. This way, users without
     Motif can use the package too, while users that have Motif installed
     get the advantages of a dynamically linked verison.

     Note, that packages that require non-free Motif libraries can't go
     into the main distribution.
