Seeing how ucspi-tcp is/was most often generated from ucspi-tcp-src for more than the past 10 years, I'd hardly call it "unofficial". > This should have been displayed to you when upgrading to the new package > in Debian/main: > $ zcat /usr/share/doc/ucspi-tcp/NEWS.Debian.gz > ucspi-tcp (1:0.88-1) unstable; urgency=low > > With the ucspi-tcp package being put into the public domain by the > upstream author, ucspi-tcp is now available as binary package in > Debian/main. > > Please note that this new binary package does not include as many > patches as the package created through the ucspi-tcp-src package > available in Debian/non-free. ucspi-tcp-src is still available, if > you don't want to upgrade to this new binary package, you should stop > the installation, make sure the ucspi-tcp-src package is installed, > and put ucspi-tcp on hold, as described in > > http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html#s-puttingonhold > > -- Gerrit Pape <[email protected]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 07:16:22 +0000 > $ > > I'm sorry, I not yet understand your concerns. The above is unacceptable. I'm pretty sure the correct approach would be to name yours "ucspi-tcp-pape" and mark it as providing "ucspi-tcp". Thus not forcing people to mark the package as being on hold (which has various problems). -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \BS ( | [email protected] PGP F6B23DE0 | ) / \_CS\ | _____ -O #include <stddisclaimer.h> O- _____ | / _/ 2477\___\_|_/DC21 03A0 5D61 985B <-PGP-> F2BE 6526 ABD2 F6B2\_|_/___/3DE0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
