anyone willing to package libmspack?

[Patrice Dumas]

Hello,

Some packages use internal versions of libmspack, according to 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427638
samba, clamav. And cabextract.

I don't want to maintain one more package but would review it.

What version did you want packaged the cvs version of the pack that they
list the 2006-09-20?

The package they list the 2006-09-20. Unless there is a good reason cvs
snapshots shouldn't be packaged. The 2006-09-20 version is the same than
what appears in cabextract-1.2 so it looks right to me.

I'll start work on it if nobody else really wants it.

Never seen that code in samba, and I honestly do not know why we would
need it.

I know we have something to handle compression on some RPC pipe in
samba4, but again I don't think it is libmspack ...

Simo.

Did anyone else think this was a request to package Max Spevack's libraries?

(sorry Patrice, couldn't resist)

Thanks a lot. I have send a patch to cabextract upstream to use external
libmspack.
