Hi, John! Thanks for the notice! I am going to create manpage for xmlsec in a next couple weeks. Changing xmlsec linkage to dynamic is not a big deal. As far as I can understand, after this there will be no more problems with Debian. And I would like to include Debian package scripts in the CVS and standard pacakge. The only problem is that I never used Debian and I have no Debian system araound. Will you be able to help with writing/updating the packaging script and testing it?
