Thanks for the pointer to CDBS' script. Comparing that with the existing patch to licensecheck should hopefully give a good base to work from. I've personally been avoiding this since DEP-5 is still a draft and is subject to change, although it has been stagnant for a while. I'll have to see how things progress since Lars Wirzenius has stepped up to continue pushing the DEP to completion. I'll revisit this post-Squeeze as I'm only considering Squeeze targetted changes to devscripts for now. -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <james...@debian.org> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
