Hi Tom,
Thanks for the quick reply. I had a tiny clarification to make:
The md5 implementation that this package uses (and the one you saw) is
the one by Peter Deutsch[1] and is listed here[2]. The latter page only
says that one must provide a virtual provides: in the spec,
Provides: bundled(md5-deutsch)
It does not mention addition to the License: tag.
So, should I add both, the zlib as a license and a virtual provides?
Thanks,
Regards,
Ankur
