I think that the install will have this functionality if it does not already - I will check. >> My source files and an updated package which is arch:all can now be > > ok uploaded at http://eagle-usb.org/ueagle-atm/non-free/ > > I suppose the .dsc could be put in our svn as we did for eagle-usb > http://cvs.gna.org/cvsweb/eagleusb/debian/?cvsroot=eagleusb > Unfortunately the svnview seems down at the moment :/ It could be put in > the directory ueagleatm/ueagle-utils/debian/ for example ? Im not sure if you are suggesting to host the dsc and diff.gz files or if you want to integrate the content into a debian directory within your VCS. If it is the former, I'm all for it as I don't want to host the files semi-permanently. If it is the latter, I'd prefer if you didn't as it is best-practice not to release upstream projects with the debian subdirectory/packaging information. > Furthermore, the same work could be done for ueagle4 firmware (in a > separate package as the license is BSD without source-code, permitting > to distribute it in non-free debian repository). I'd be happy to help with packaging the drivers and getting them into Debian if possible. _______________________________________________ Ueagleatm-dev mailing list Ueagleatm-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/ueagleatm-dev
