From policy point of view. If it is a private library for your appication only compile & link staticly against it and do not ship any headers, pkg-config or la files with your package. If / when libqxt enters the archive you should change your package to use dynamically linked libqxt to avoid code duplication for security reasons. Alternativly you can package libqxt as shared library *now* and link dynamically against that off-the bat. And help by contributing a package to Debian/Ubuntu. As this is a new package anyhow you should consider packaging in for Debian =) it will then get synced into Ubuntu. (packaging is the mostly the same minus version number & maintainer fields) With regards, Ubuntu Contributing Developer Dmitrijs Ledkovs. -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
