Hi! > IMHO this is not acceptable because there are no tools included or > commandline switches offered with waf (in postler and midori) to > conveniently unpack and repack these part for a.) inspection or b.) > modification, which are required for packages in Debian main. A package in NEW brought this matter to our attention, and after discussing the issue within the FTP Team, we came to the conclusion that the submitter of this bug report is correct: packages using waf in this form do not ship all sources in their prefered form of modification¹. While the letters of DFSG#2 and the Debian Policy could be fullfilled by shipping waf in extracted form in the source packages, we would really love to see the packages moving to a saner build system. A quick tutorial on how to unpack waf to fulfil our requirements can be found here: http://wiki.debian.org/UnpackWaf Best regards, Alexander for the FTP Team 1: Yes, that phrase originates from the GPL, nevertheless Debian uses it as definiton of "source". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
