Well, this is a topic for once my dpkg-shlibdeps implementation has been merged. But feel free to explain your needs in debian-dpkg@lists.debian.org. You've given lots of links and info but I don't really know in what situation you are calling dpkg-shlibdeps and what kind of change do you need. I'm however fully aware that dpkg-shlibdeps is not really cross-compiling friendly. It's also difficult to be friendly since all the information that it uses comes from /var/lib/dpkg/info/ which corresponds to the the host information (and not the info of the target) and AFAIK there's not standard location that we can use to lookup the information corresponding to the target. In summary, please sum up your needs in a new mail that you send to debian-dpkg@lists.debian.org and maybe open a bug report on the topic. Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Premier livre français sur Debian GNU/Linux : http://www.ouaza.com/livre/admin-debian/ Hmm - that one came straight back so I'm asking here. Precisely what do we need from the next version of dpkg-shlibdeps ? http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/08/msg00915.html http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/ImprovedDpkgShlibdeps -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
