I think it's useless cause it will have to wait for libsdl. > Any hints for unexperienced maintainer? ;) BTW, if you have some comfort level with autotools, please consider updating asc to use the latest version of libtool; I don't see anything in asc that needs libtiff directly, so using a newer libtool (1.5.2-2 or newer) will ensure you don't have to worry about transitions of image libraries in the future. For information on how to update the version of libtool used in your package, please see <http://people.debian.org/~keybuk/libtool-updating.html>. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
