No, of course not. First, Boost is already being used.
Second, you'd work on this upstream.

I know that it was chosen for the best reasons:

  
http://wiki.debian.org/PkgExim4UserFAQ#TheusernameDebian-.24PACKAGEistoolong.3Aitmisalignslsoutputandistruncatedbypsandatop.Andit.27sugly.21

but IMO the only good thing to say about the 'Debian-' prefix is that
it's sufficiently disgusting[1] that no sane unix admin could
conceivably have such a user present on their systems prior to exim
excreting it there.

Please let's not decide it's a de facto standard -- we could always try
fixing the lack of a standard in policy.

I'd not come across the underscore (_) prefix idea before -- I much prefer that.

Cheers, Phil.

[1] what with the use of capitals, the '-', the length, and the explicit
use of the word 'debian' -- I suppose we can be thankful that nobody
seems (that I've seen) to be using a Ubuntu- prefix yet.

The other config files are in /etc/exim4 just like the main one, if
that's what you mean.

Are you saying the current exim4 package in lenny-security already has
the disability you are discussing ?

  Description : Simple Java library to read and write CSV

Java CSV is a small fast open source java library for reading and 
writing CSV and plain delimited text files. All kinds of CSV files 
can be handled.

My motivation is that javacsv is a dependency of Gephi.

  This shows one pragma syntax.
  But I would like to see a more important discussion about the problem
that is tried to be solved and the advantage/disadvantage against other
classical tools (lib-config script and pkg-config files for example).
In particular, how this would work with multi-arch ?
  I did not analyzed in details this proposition (auto-linking) but,
for now, I'm not at all confident that this would be a good move.

  Regards,
Vincent

  Description : toolbox for rigid and nonrigid registration of images

 Image reigstration based on the well-known Insight Segmentation and
 Registration Toolkit (ITK). The software consists of a collection of
 algorithms that are commonly used to solve (medical) image

 to quickly configure, test, and compare different registration
 methods for a specific application. A command-line interface enables
 automated processing of large numbers of data sets, by means of
 scripting.

So, before anyone else asks, UDD is currently experiencing problems.
Someone is running a script that is hammering the DB from alioth. The
script is running from cron, and there are currently 8 instances
running, bringing UDD to its knees.

I've tried to contact both DSA and Alioth admins on IRC. But it's not
really the best time of the day for that.
