gengetopt - Is this a +dfsg case?
Hi,
I am maintaining a great package - zmap. It depends, for building
only, on gengetopt [1] to generate main.c stub for command line
arguments handling. However gengetopt was removed from testing due to
[2], it is only in unstable for now. This blocks new zmap versions
going to testing. I already contacted the maintainer some time ago
asking whether it would be fixed or he needs some help but he has not
responded yet.
My question is, how this situation should be handled, should these
manuals be removed and package uploaded as dfsg ? Or the best is to
wait for upstream to change the licence.
I am asking out of curiosity, and to know how to handle such
situations in the future, I do not want hijack the package from
Alessio.
