I meant that's ok, you don't have to convert libdvdcss to cdbs. I want to keep libdvdcss build dependencies as minimal as possible, hence why dh-autoreconf was removed. The reason to keep them minimal is because the installer script builds the package on the user's system. Thus the installer would only need debhelper (>= 8.1.3~), wget to get a snapshot of the git repository, apt for apt-get, and build-essential in order to build libdvdcss. -- ~ Andres _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
