While I can understand your reason at point 1 in the context of building and installing openser from source, I do not see the argument in this second case. The debian packaging system has exactly this purpose: to provide a way to install software resolving all its dependencies. It already build-depends on libradiusclient-ng and has libradiusclient-ng as a runtime dependency as well. While I can understand the wish to have all the radius functionality separated into the extra openser-radius-modules, the fact that for a while openser itself will depend on libradiusclient is superfluous when compared with the lack of certain features from the official package. This lack of certain features makes any serious use of openser impossible without having to resort to customized rebuilds of the debian package. -- Dan _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@openser.org http://openser.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel
