When i asked Shuai Lin about packaging them i understood those libs were in a too early development phase to be released independently, so i postponed the review of those libs. Shuai, are those two libs releasable in separate packages now ? Are those libs used by seafile-server or other software ?
Ondřej, "nowhere near to be released" are hard words to read, considering we never said it was ready to be released at all - only that some work has been done. Let's encourage Shuai, not discourage him. Note also that it is not recommended practice to dfsg-repack only to get rid of a convenience copy of a lib : http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-embeddedfiles http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#repackagedorigtargz The right thing to do is to just link against the debian-installed lib.
