A complaint about “advertising” in comments appearing in a configuration file would be better done by filing a ‘wishlist’-priority bug report against that package. If you were reasonable and presented a persuasive argument, you might even convince the package maintainer to remove the advertisement from the file. > Do you think it is appropriate for package in main? I think a package is appropriate for main if it is licensed to the recipient under free-software terms, actively and sanely maintained, and useful in a free operating system. The ‘geoip’ package (from which the binary ‘libgeoip1’ package is built) seems to me to meet all those criteria. -- \ “If we have to give up either religion or education, we should | `\ give up education.” —William Jennings Bryan, 1923-01 | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
