Dear mentors, I'm working on a package that includes some php libs (e.g. pear packages). Some of those are already packaged for debian so it'd be better at all if I'd set a dependency on it and don't ship the code again, right? First of all my question is how to do that. Can I just create a symlink to the other package or must I modify the upstream source to look at the right place (without using links)? And the next question is: what can I do if upstream uses a modified version of that lib? Is there a proper way to ship just the modifications and for the rest use the files of the lib package? Thanks in advance for helping me! Cheers, Hauke
