Unless they're already reading us. NSA, you there? :-] On the other hand, our package infrastructure is not able to run a command to get the license text. It expects to have one file available in the source tree. (Though this can be worked-around by having a post extract hook that runs the --showlicense thing and redirects the output into a file in the source tree). So the best way would be to simply tell Freescale to stop doing silly self-extractable executables, and switch to normal tarballs, just like everyone else does in the Linux world :-) Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
