There seems to be somewhat different oppinions on this. Mine is: remove all binary files whether they can be compiled from source or not and strip the source down to the largest set of source files that can still reliably build your binaries. Problem with the binary files is that it's close to impossible to reliably know how and by whom they were built and what license they come with. The problem of people being able to run potentially malicious code is another (usually for this conext minor) problem. If you can - with respect to ensuring a DFSG-free license - leave them in the tarball and document them (and potentially put a check into d/rules looking after them not being "tainted" - how ever that may look like) that'd be an option. Yet as said IMHO it's practically close to impossible to debug a windows binary set with regards to libraries linked into there etc. at build time of a Debian package. > Also, I need to modify the d/copyright, d/changelog, d/watch > make README.debian-source, orig.tar.bz2 and add a rule get-orig-source > to d/rules to make a _good_ dfsg repackage? Yes, that should do it. -- Best regards, Kilian
