[...] I don't mean any offense, but looking at the ITP and the libdc1394v2 package itself, I get the feeling that you are not completely up to date with Debian packaging: - There is no bug severity named "urgent", and ITPs should have severity "wishlist". - The way to ensure library packages don't conflict with older versions is to append the soname to the package names, it should be libdc1394-22 instead of libdc1394v2. - Missing and incorrect Conflicts: entries in the control file for Debian. Therefore I decided to use Peter de Schrijver's and my own packaging as a basis for packaging 2.0.1. I'm adopting the packages from Peter de Schrijver. I will include a -doc package and rename -examples to -utils. If you have other suggestions I will be happy to hear them. If you really want to maintain the Debian packages yourself, read all on http://www.debian.org/devel/, read up on all Debian bug reports regarding libdc1394, and try to become an official Debian developer. Otherwise, I think it is better that you work on the library itself instead of its packaging; I believe there is a lot to do to get everything working with the juju stack. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
