But compared to unionfs-fuse ofed-1.3 is huge (38 packages) and I'm really scared of the debian-upload process. Since I do mathematical research I compare this process to that. The most enjoyable part is to do the mathematics. Then there is the part of actually writing the paper and getting it ready for public consumption (with the interference^Wassistance of referees). However, the great thing is that once the second step is over, it becomes possible for other people to pick up the baton. Best wishes for your larger package set.

This looks like it's supposed to be the machine-readable format, but it doesn't seem to comply with that spec. The License option is referring to arbitrary names of things given later in the file. I think you want License: Other with the license text below that section.

Radek, is the attached file o.k. for you? Another point is that I am not very clear on the compatability of the CPL license (used in elfhash*) with the BSD code. It _seems_ to be OK and so I would upload your package, but it would be nice if you have a reference (URL or e-mail) readily available to clarify this. I'm not absolutely sure, but referring to http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-cplfaq.html in paragraph 12, CPL and BSD are NOT compatible. So I just rewrote the elfhash function from scratch. Well, the mathmatical lines are still the same, but this is given by the algorithm, of course. http://podgorny.cz/~bernd/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/radek-trunk-bernd-merge/rev/668c2b0ae4d0 Going to upload a another version when Radek thinks it is fine.
