All libstdc++*-dev packages provide libstdc++-dev (apt-cacheo show libstdc++5-dev | grep Provides), but the 2.10 in brackets applies to the version not the soname (which is 1:2995.4-15). then if you want to say you need a libstdc++-dev of any soname, but preferably soname 5, that'd be: libstdc++5-dev | libstdc++-dev > > > the copyright should say "Upstream Authors" (lintian > > will complain > > > on that). > > Uhmm, Woody lintian does not ... strange. > Is it wise to change then ? > and should upstream authors be in " " or is that just to > express the term ? > My lintian doesn't complain either. lintian's sid version does. it's just a matter of replacing "Author(s)" with "Authors" > > > it'd be better if the manpage said "for the Debian > > system", because > > > there are other, non-Linux ports in debian. > > ... or as I said - just ship it upstream. > Eventually it will be shipped with the upstream. > Hmm I have no idea if it will run on hurd :) Sure it will run on GNU/Hurd, at most it just needs porting :) The most common problem are assumptions that MAXPATHLEN and MAXHOSTNAMELEN are defined, which is not true for GNU. If you care about portability, you can take a look at common porting issues we encounter and try to avoid them: http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Hurd/PortingIssues > But I agree with you on it.

I'd suggest to use a Sid system for packaging and developement as you always get the latest versions. please keep the CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Robert Millan "5 years from now everyone will be running free GNU on their 200 MIPS, 64M SPARCstation-5" Andrew S.
