There was a mistake in the previous status report. Our release is NOT "Hardcore" but "Core Dump". My mistake. The entry should read: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * New release named Our next ISO release, codenamed "Core Dump", is almost ready to go, and will be released at the beginning of next month. Be prepared for a good old round of testing starting this week. ------------------------------------------------------------------------

[arch-dev-public] Fwd: Killing CVS [was: Status Report 2007-10-15]
by Dan McGee 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

Figured I'd forward this on to the list- it could strike up a discussion. I've looked at git-submodules, but it is quite new, and not all that lightweight as each submodule has its own .git directory. -Dan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Loui <louipc.ist(a)gmail.com> Date: Oct 22, 2007 9:06 PM Subject: Re: [arch-dev-public] Killing CVS [was: Status Report 2007-10-15] To: dpmcgee(a)gmail.com Do you think git submodules could be useful or relevant considering the 'Killing CVS' topic? In terms of checking out individual packages. http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html#submodules "Large projects are often composed of smaller, self-contained modules. For example, an embedded Linux distribution's source tree would include every piece of software in the distribution with some local modifications; a movie player might need to build against a specific, known-working version of a decompression library; several independent programs might all share the same build scripts."

[arch-dev-public] Fwd: License for new logo
by James Rayner 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Havn't read arch-dev-public for more than a month, so sorry if forwarding this causes any trouble. IMHO: There's gotta be some way we can license it but allow derivative works pertaining to Arch? Anyway, foxbunny suggested I forward his message below and it seems relevant. ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: cc'ing the forum post From: "foxbunny" <snip> Date: Mon, October 22, 2007 22:53 To: <snip> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- foxbunny from Arch Linux Forums has sent you a message. You can reply to foxbunny by replying to this e-mail. The message reads as follows: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Just in case you miss it or something, could you please post this on dev-public? "Okay, so I had a quick look at the Competition announcement draft. I think the part about Arch Linux owning the logo, it can't be done without making an Arch Linux foundation or sumsuch legal entity. OTOH, we can properly license the logo to all developers, or at least one of them who will be in charge of the logo (Phracture). It will not be free art as in freedom, but it will still be licensed to the dev for him to do whatever he pleases with it. IOW, no public license, so that no one can use the artwork but the dev. Just a proper private exclusive license targeted at a specific individual. The license should include the exclusive right to relicense the artwork to any 3rd party under conditions similar to the original license, or maybe a more open license. During the voting period, there could be a limited license with a definite deadline. License is, AFAIK, a simple contract between the author and the licensee so I don't think there should be any legal trouble as long as the licensee is an individual (or a group of individuals). As for completely giving up possession of the artwork by the original author, I don't think that is necessary. EDIT: Maybe devs could come up with such a license that we are obliged to agree on before we can submit the artwork? Like 'By submitting the artwork, you agree to the following terms... yada yada'" Best regards, -- Branko
