in the course of packaging gmerlin-avdecoder for debian, we noticed that....
well, i believe that most issues have been fixed now (i'm sure more will pop up) however, here are some minor observations we had, that are not simple "please change line #N in file <F>" issues. - lib/libw32dll/ contains so many code that has a non-clear licensing that the debian packager team decided to just exclude it (afaiu, this code is only relevant on w32 anyhow(?); at least it was never activated by autoconf on my debian machines, which could also mean that i was missing loads of proprietary stuff and libraries which won't be available on a normal debian host anyhow - lib/GSM610/ has a license that seems to be incompatible with GPL as well, so it was also removed from the debian package; i guess this is more of a pity, since apart from the license, it could easily be included in debian. it would be nice if lib/GSM610/ could be excluded on demand (like lib/libw32dll already is); (e.g. "--without-GSM610") it would be even nicer, if any non-GPL code code could be excluded on demand (e.g. "--enable-gpl") most important: changes to the licenses (that have already taken place; thanks), will only be propagated to debian with the next release! therefore i'm looking forward to that one, and would like to ask: are there any plans yet, when the next release will happen? fgmasdr IOhannes
