Perhaps I should have said "no Debian developer"; Michael Feger isn't listed as a developer on the Debian website, so whether he is interested in packaging it or not is largely irrelevant (and I speak as a non-developer). >I would think that the NIS+ stuff has some licensing issues (sun >binary licence.... BAAAD!), or something as such. As far as I can see, it's the BSD licence with the "obnoxious advertising clause". Not very pleasant (and somebody should talk to the author about it), but I think it is DFSG-compliant. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
