If someone wants to add things to the software that change the dependency, I understand, one can regenerate the build trace with the build system that upstream uses (which is free software), and things keep working. Unless I misuinderstood something, I quite like this shortcut :) Enrico -- GPG key: 4096R/634F4BD1E7AD5568 2009-05-08 Enrico Zini <enrico@enricozini.org>
