The idea behind the links i gave above is to refrain people from repacking on
personal taste; and distribute *original* upstream tarballs.
Of course, once there is a good reason to do repack (typically dfsg) then you can remove
embedded convenience copies as well. But you might as well not exclude them.Well, there was no upstream tarball anyway, I did create one from git (git archive), so basically no-repacking has happened here.Slightly unrelated : the version libsearpc 1.1.0+dfsg is misleading since
there is no DFSG involved in this repacking.True, but it was so convenient :). Please suggest a better name, or let's cross-fingers and let's hope our upstream friends will release 1.1.1 without bundled json-glib library (pretty please).Anyway the current status of seafile packages:http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/libzdb.git;a=summary (uploaded + asked upstream to grant OpenSSL exception)http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/ccnet.git;a=summary (WIP and needs some more licensing love[*])* - E: libccnet0: possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl & E: ccnet-bin: possible-gpl-code-linked-with-opensslShuai, please add OpenSSL exception to the license (if you are going to keep GPL-3 and not MIT) as suggested here:O.--
