Hi Mark,
I'm polishing Debian's unshield package and would like to include your
manpage (as in SynCE SVN). However your file does not have any licence
information - am I correct when I assume it has the same MIT license as
unshield itself?

Hi, yes you're correct, anything I add like that will generally conform
to the package's licencing.

I've copied this to synce-devel and Jonny Lamb who generally handles
doing releases. A few minor but useful changes have happened in
unshield, dynamite and orange, maybe a new release would be helpful ?

That would be even better :)
Some official 0.5.1 would be really nice (no need to import patches and
stuff), but it's up to you guys - I just wanted to polish the Debian
package a bit, as I sometimes use unshield (about 1x per year to
extract UT2004 or others) and the package was orphaned recently (so
was dynamite and orange).
Sure thing. I'll prepare a new release of this as soon as possible. I'm
rather busy at the moment, but it shouldn't take long to do. Anything
for Debian, after all! :-)
Maybe you want to have a look at [1][2][3] before releasing if there
are Bugs/Patches not yet in your SVN (dynamite has one patch, orange
one bug)?
Yeah, I'll have a peek at their QA pages before tagging.

Evgeni, if you're intending to adopt the packages, you should change the
orphaned bug to a RFA.

Thanks,

A couple of unshield bugs that should be closed I think:

#350210: Fixed on new upstream.
#430381: Should probably be closed normally.
#418118: This is yours.

I assume by this dynamite bug with one patch, you mean #259294, which
was fixed in NMU 0.1-4.1. The rest of the open bugs are probably not
worth looking too much into; I don't have the time to, anyway.

I've released three new releases of the modules. These can be found on
your local SourceForge mirror. md5sums follow:

238bf243dba2166a2e0e141b18065235 libdynamite-0.1.1.tar.gz
9432a47b06c3526738ea63adb0102bbe liborange-0.3.1.tar.gz
cc06e5573a4d5095871bf1bb14f3da1f unshield-0.5.1.tar.gz

Contact me if you need anything.

Regards,

And I applied something which does the same to upstream a little while
ago.

I'll try and look at the others at some point, but most of the work I've
done on these has been sanity and building, I'm not too hot on the
functionality.

Yepp, this is also fixed in your SVN, so the new releases look great.
Will update the packages as soon I have time for it :)
Thank you for your work.
