Hello Cameron,
There's a bug filed in Debian against adzapper because the SWF files in
the source tarball you ship don't have source code available. I'm emailing
you to explain the problem in further detail, and to explain to you that
we have a solution.
Take a look at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=591193 ,
in particular the comment toward the top by Gerfried Fuchs (Rhonda) that
explains what it means to have source for SWF files.
Do you happen to have the .FLA or .AS files that were used to generate the
SWF files you have in the adzapper package?
It's actually quite okay if not -- the extraordinary Chris Butler
submitted a patch to the adzapper package (toward the bottom of the
discussion) that uses a Perl library to generate the SWF files. So if you
want, you can use that recipe to regenerate the SWF files you ship in your
tarball.
The reason I bring all this up is that since Debian is committed to only
shipping software compliant with the Debian Free Software Guidelines, it's
considered a release-critical bug if we package and distribute things for
which we do not have source code. So I wonder:
Is this something where you'd be willing to do a new release that uses SWF
files generated by Chris Butler's code?
If you're willing to do that soon, then Debian will likely ship that
version in squeeze, the upcoming release. If not, then Debian will likely
carry a patch to use Chris's SWF files instead of the ones that you
distribute in the tarball.
Hope you're well, and thanks for making and sharing adzapper!
-- Asheesh.
