Hi,
as I'm currently working on a new upload of mp4h and I stumbled once
again over issues related to embedded code copies, I thought, I'll
check mp4h's and wml's state in
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/secure-testing/data/embedded-code-copies?view=markup
I think there are some updates needed:
libtool:
mp4h: Contains source code, but is compiled with --without-included-ltdl
Next upload will also delete the source code before building
to make sure it is not used.
wml: No more contains source code after repacking, see fix for #559841
txt2html:
wml: No more contains source code after repacking, see fix for #576522
pcre:
mp4h: Seems to embed version 3.9 of pcre3 (of 2002 *yuck*).
Current package in Debian uses the embedded copy. I though
today managed[1] to build against the system copy of libpcre.a
and at least the upstream test suite passed, so I suspect this
should be fixable. Nevertheless I'll likely upload this change
to experimental first, as e.g. unexpectedly no libpcre3 shows
up in the dh_shlibdeps generated list of dependencies.
