Hi,
Why is madwifi-ng-dev depending on madwifi-ng-source ?
In the madwifi-ng-dev package description, for the example given
(compiling wpa_supplicant), the source tree is not necessary, the
includes are enough (from my experience with wpa_supplicant
compilation). Moreover, when the source package is installed, the source
tree is not untared (still inside /usr/src/madwifi-ng.tar.bz2, making it
unusable).
May I suggest to change "Depends: madwifi-ng-source" by something like
"Recommends: madwifi-ng-source" ?
However, I could be wrong (I am not a developer, and I have no skills in
this field), there might be something I don't understand and a could
reason for that dependency. In such case, just ignore this message.
Thanks for maintaining the madwifi-ng experimental packages, they work
perfectly on my systems.
Pascal
