Yes, it contains copies of APQ and the Booch Components. In a proper distribution, you would remove them from the sources and build against shared APQ and shared Booch Components instead. > I do not intend to become a Debian package maintainer, but don't you > want to package it? ;) I have stated this before: no. I already maintain 18 packages (19 if you count the Debian policy for Ada). I do this on my own free time, after work, and nobody pays me to do it. If I should maintain more packages, I would spread myself too thin to do a good job. In fact, bugs #297980 and #297985 suggest this is already the case. Moreover, I have been maintaining most of Debian's Ada packages single-handledly for more than a year now. I would really appreciate it if somebody would step up to become a co-maintainer. I'm willing to help anyone get started. Even if you don't want to spend too much time doing this, you can still contribute patches and bug reports; these are well appreciated. -- Ludovic Brenta.
