[Pkg-d-devel] dsss and libtango packages

[Peter De Wachter]

Hi Vincenzo,

I tried compiling your package, but it failed to build for me (on my
Debian/unstable system, I don't use Ubuntu). The build log is here:
http://walrus.rave.org/~pdewacht/dsss_0.75-0ubuntu5.log
I'm afraid I've got no idea on what goes wrong there.

Looked at the package a bit, I found some other things that should be
fixed:

* You need to be much more detailed in the copyright file. dsss is not
plain GPLv2 licensed. For example:
- for the dmd frontend you should see the discussion in
Debian bug #499927
- the files in rebuild/util by Derek Parnell have a custom BSD-style
license
- the code by Gregor Richards seems to be MIT licensed.

* You should depend on the gdc virtual package rather than on gdc-4.1.

* Why is the C code compiled without optimisation?

I don't know anything about cdbs so I can't comment on the stuff you're
working on there.
