I'm going to include some XSL stylesheets of my own in my next release of pilot-qof and these import other stylesheets from a standard library, licenced under the LGPL. http://pilot-qof.sourceforge.net/ http://packages.debian.org/testing/utils/pilot-qof http://xsltsl.sourceforge.net/ I can't find these in the current Debian archive, so I'm wondering whether to package them as a separate package so that others can use them or just copy them into my own pilot-qof...orig.tar.gz (I'm the upstream developer of pilot-qof)? Although I'd rather not have to keep the two trees in sync with manual copying, I'm not using all the stylesheets in the package either. Before I create an ITP, is there anything special I should know about creating a package that does not need to be compiled but does need some build-time scripting? (The New Maintainer guide is a little brief on "non-standard" packages.) Any example packages I should look at? I'm expecting to install to /usr/share/xml/xsltsl/ (there are also HTML docs to go into /usr/share/doc/xsltsl/.) This new package wouldn't end up as a 'Depends' dependency of pilot-qof because the stylesheets are not accessed by the binary directly, they just exist to help the user in handling the data created. Users lose none of the functionality of the program binary by not having any of these stylesheets installed. I'm thinking that pilot-qof should probably just 'Recommend' this new package or just include the copied files. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
