Bug#698681: Any progress on seafile-client?
When i asked Shuai Lin about packaging them i understood those libs
were in a too early development phase to be released independently,
so i postponed the review of those libs.
Shuai, are those two libs releasable in separate packages now ?
Are those libs used by seafile-server or other software ?
Ondřej, "nowhere near to be released" are hard words to read, considering we
never said it was ready to be released at all - only that some work has
been done. Let's encourage Shuai, not discourage him.
Note also that it is not recommended practice to dfsg-repack only to get
rid of a convenience copy of a lib :
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-embeddedfiles
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#repackagedorigtargz
The right thing to do is to just link against the debian-installed lib.
