Greetings,
Being in the process of packaging mkelfImage for Debian and Ubuntu, I came across a few issues that definitely will prevent this software from being accepted by the FTP Master.
Thankfully, most of them are easily fixed:
* News should be called ChangeLog and include the name of whoever made each change. * Each source file (c, h, S) must include proper copyright notice and credits at the top. * The build fails unless it is ./configure'd twice, because it misses Makefile.conf. * Makefile.conf would preferably be replaced by more traditional Makefile.am and Mafefile.in to really be portable. * config.log and various other files that should be cleaned before shipping were found in the archive for mkelfImage 2.7 on the lnxi FTP server. * The filename of the archive should be all lowercase.
However, a more serious problem is that it fails to compile using recent GCC and glibc6.
Would it be possible for this package to be updated keeping in mind the above issues?
Best regards,
