s/key anyone?

Hello, I can't find the 'skey' program anywhere in the distributions. Can anyone please tell me offhand why? If this isn't a licensing question, then I surely will make a stab at packaging this up! (and no, just saying use otp instead isn't the answer). Thank you! Best Regards, --Toni++

Re: Solving the compression dilema when rsync-ing Debian versions

gzip --compress-like=old-foo foo gzip creates a dictionary (that gets realy large) of strings that are used and encodes references to them. At the start the dictionary is empty, so the first char is pretty much unencoded and inserted into the dictionary. The next char is encoded using the

Packages' use of dpkg-statoverride

Is dpkg-statoverride meant to be used in a package, or only by sysadmins? I've got a package which currently asks whether the svgalib binary should be installed suid root. The safest way to do this, of course, would be to ship it 755, and then add the suid bit later. However, on installation, if
