Bug#568303: can-utils Debian package



Hi Alexander,

there is work in progress to clean up licensing stuff:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.can/4601

slcand is fixed with this patch: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.can/4587

I hope the patches will be committed soon.

It would be great if libsocketcan could be packaged too:
http://www.pengutronix.de/software/libsocketcan/download/ This is git
repo with license file:
http://git.pengutronix.de/?p=tools/libsocketcan.git
