I can't immediately see why it was removed, I don't even see which restrictions you're referring to in the DLL FAQ. It could *probably* be added back, though there might be something I'm missing. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Bug#919598: zlib: copyright file needs updating
Source: zlib Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, a) the zlib 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 copyright file claims to be based on sources from zlib-1.0.4.tar.gz which is obviously wrong. b) the Files-Excluded field is not up-to-date for zlib_1.2.11.dfsg.orig.tar.gz. The listed contrib/testzlib is in the DFSG sources, but the now-removed win32 directory is not listed as Files-Excluded. The win32 directory is how I came here: I'm building for Mingw from the Debian sources, which now fails. Is the removal of the win32 directory neccessary? I do see the restrictions established in win32/DLL_FAQ.txt. However, I don't think these restrictions are removed by removing this file. They may apply to the DFSG sources as well, even with the win32 dir removed. Best regards Kai
