I now have the flickcurl-utils package instead of the two small separate ones. Since I didn't find much information about best practices while packaging an svn version, I thought I'd leave it for the next release, unless you do prove me wrong and point me to a reference about this. :-) dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/flickcurl/flickcurl_0.11-1.dsc I am aware that sime packages (like XMMS earlier) do sync with svn often, but I felt it wasn't warranted...

Now, would you like me to check it out from svn, or leave it as is for now and modify it for your next release? > My only other comment on the packaging is that very likely the FTP masters > would reject it because there are two packages with only a couple of files: > flickcurl, flickrdf and their man pages.

Hello, as you can see I'm the author, and I'm also a Debain Developer. I was looking at the thread on debian-mentors about this http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg51084.html With respect to example.c - that should be in the public domain, I've made it so in SVN. My only other comment on the packaging is that very likely the FTP masters would reject it because there are two packages with only a couple of files: flickcurl, flickrdf and their man pages. In a real package layout I expect a flickcurl-utils package that contained both would be more acceptible to them, although you can never tell.
