No problem with me. I am more interested in getting an updated opensc package in Debian than to have libreadline included in the official package. I can keep these patches locally. That's why I wrote "starting point" in my original mail: - take the things from the repo you consider appropriate, - leave others out that you do not consider appropriate, - add additional things, ... and build an updated official Debian package ;-) > On the other hand: what part of opensc benefits from using readline? > I guess the only place it might be used is the opensc-explorer, and it > works fine for me without readline - so I say lets remove the readline > code to avoid this. Please do not remove the code from upstream. Having it had helped me a lot with the update of the openpgp driver. It is in a configure option and can be en-/ or disabled as required. An alternative is to replace libreadline by another "editline library" with a different license, e.g. libedit (also in Debian).
