Good grief, Charlie Brown. That's a hell of alot of packages. The 0.30.195 i386 .deb that I did ended up being only 330k. I don't think it's useful to split up util-vserver into this many packages on Debian, in fact, I think it'd be a *terrible* idea. I'd say perhaps a main util-vserver package and a -doc package. Maybe a -lib/-dev, but only if something outside of util-vserver is expected to use the libraries/API provided by util-vserver (do any actually exist?, is it even sane?). > | - Very likely a shared lib package should be included only once if > | there is more than one binary package. > | > | * guest systems cannot run klogd (because there is only one kernel and > | the klogd thus is best addressed in the host system). > | So a distribution has to ship an empty dummy package to satisfy the > | packages which depend on klogd (Debian: linux-kernel-log-daemon). > > hmm, this is a kernel issue, and maybe we can solve > that at this level (by providing a fake or empty > connection point for klogd) but IMHO it would be best > to break up the syslog package into syslogd and klogd > (which would render this point obsolete) ehhh, I don't think util-vserver as a package should really care about this all that much. People can install syslog-ng and use that instead (that's what I do). A fake/empty connection point for klogd isn't all that bad of an idea, imv, though. > | * There is a number of compile warnings.

Debian default currently would be gcc 3.3, or so. Stephen
