Right now I'm waiting for the new upstream release. I did the changes after your good comments. I also made the 'official' swftools package so that it has as little changes to the upstream as possible. I also spoke to the upstream and at least some of the build issues are going to be embedded to the future upstream releases. Right before I was going to ask for comments from d-m, there was a DSA concerning the xpdf. Since the swftools has xpdf embedded, and 0.7.0 does not compile against the libpoppler, I thought it should not be uploaded. The next release has the newer xpdf and hopefully it compiles against libpoppler, so I'm waiting for that. I'll build a pre-package from the development snapshot, but unfortunately the current snapshot does not compile with the g++ 4.0.3 :( When I get a good snapshot, I would appreciate if you and possibly others could have a look at the package, so that by the time I get the official release from the upstream we would be good to go. The packages are nowadays in http://www.mediasitomo.com/debian-swftools/ BR, Simo
