Same problem really - lintian only works on one package at a time and cannot detect code copying, except by a simple name collision with a "hot list" in lintian itself. Such a scheme still doesn't compare the contents of the file rather than simply the name of the file itself. > Olivier, please go ahead and package it. Agreed. Also, when packaging it, check the 7 source packages that I listed above and see if the copies have been substantially modified. You may need to fold some of those changes into the library version. Then, file bugs against the relevant packages once the new package is in NEW. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
