Hi, In working on the Debian package, I found that the ffi ruby library embeds an entire code-copy of the upstream libffi C library. Embedding code is a bug in Debian if there is already an available library and headers that can be depended on and used instead... so I have taken the steps to repack the tarball to remove this embedded code-copy in the Debian package. However, I am curious to know if this is just a convenience copy, or if it has any modifications that I should be aware of? thanks, micah
