How does this relate to the packages ldetect, ldetect-lst in Mandrake
Cooker ?
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake-devel/cooker/SRPMS/ldetect-0.2.3-13mdk.src.rpm
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake-devel/cooker/SRPMS/ldetect-lst-0.1.2-15mdk.src.rpm
Is it something different ? It looks like it uses its own database
instead.

If you feel confident about the CVS version, you may package it even if it's
not released yet. However a new upstream release would be better.
