debian directory included in upstream

2005-04-12 Thread Miriam Ruiz
Hi, The author of one of the packages I was packaging for my own use has asked me to be the maintainer of the debian's package. The problem that I found is that in latest versions he includes his own version of debian's directory inside the original tar.gz file as you download it from the web.

There are two problems with this: Security and DFSG-freeness. I wouldn't put too much weight in the security thing. If you don't understand postscript or pdf, you won't detect the exploit - it doesn't matter if it is in the ps/pdf file, or in a \special command in the LaTeX/Lyx

But if the plugins are only loaded by maserver, you don't need to link the plugins against libmaserver *at all*, statically or dynamically. This was the point from my earlier message. If you statically link libmaserver into maserver, you get a minimal *reduction* in the total install

Try lintian -i: you'll see this type of thing: A shared object was identified in a library directory (i.e. a directory in the standard linker path) which doesn't have a SONAME. This is usually an error. Thanks, yes it seems that the lintian error means what you're saying.

It's true that you usually should not have shared libraries in an application package, but that is not the meaning of this error. This error means that the file that you have placed in /usr/lib is *not a shared library*. If the file does not declare an SONAME, it's not a shared library
