My understanding is that Michael used the standalone tarball (psignifit-2-5-6-bin.tar.gz) available at bootstrap-software.org, which contains no Matlab related files. > [...] If you are just repackaging you might fix the permissions of > the files as well (every file is executable) and perhaps teach the > author how to build tarballs ... In the above tarball, there is a bin/ directory containing executables for different systems. This issue reminds me a recent post by Joerg Jaspert in debian-devel-announce (http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/08/msg00011.html). * Joerg Jaspert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2005-08-25 01:32]: > * Do not repackage your orig.tar.gz unless you have to.

I think that there is no licensing problem about including the executables files (psignifit is GPL'ed). It is a waste of disk space, though. Furthermore, Michael could consider keeping the original directory layout of the upstream tarball and doing "cd psig-src" before calling make in debian/rules. -- Rafael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
