After this message I discovered that libao did not build because of 1.5, on the other hand I had packages that required 1.5 :S On the other hand I missed 1.5 discussion, it is a newer version so why not update it. That was not easy to anticipate. >> I mailed the respective maintainers and lenny and the list and I do >> not even get a message why they won't be included. > Not sure for others, but I don't expect you can get any response from > lenny. >> I like making rpms and maintaining them but please communicate if >> there are any problems.

And of course maybe others try to make the same package and get ignored as well. A graveyard list with packages that failed to make it and a list of packages that are not yet checked would be nice. Communication saves so much effort. Cya, Han.
