I uploaded the new Debian packages of swarm, including libswarm-dbg to
http://jalvesaq.googlepages.com/swarm.html .

Although the packages are working perfectly to me, lintian---a tool to
check the accordance of a package with Debian Policy---is still
issuing two warnings, but I don't know neither what exactly they mean
nor how to solve them:

W: libswarm: shlib-with-executable-stack usr/lib/swarm/libswarm.so.0.0.0
W: libswarm: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/lib/swarm/libswarm.so.0.0.0 
/usr/lib:/usr/lib/shared

Another warning refers to a script used only when swarm is compiled on
MacOS X and I certainly it's harmless on Debian based systems:

W: libswarm-dev: script-not-executable ./usr/share/libswarm/etc/swarmrc

Unless someone still has suggestions on how to improve the packages, I
think they are ready. While the binaries probably are useful only for
Ubuntu 7.04, the .diff.gz and .dsc files might be used to build
packages for any other Debian derived system.

Best regards,
