Hi
The license rebuild for core/extra is almost done. Only a few problematic packages remains. I'll post the list here with potential solutions. Read along and comment/discuss as apropriate.
codecs: emovix-codecs: - There is no license information in the tarball or on mplayer's site. Other distros use the following licenses:
Do we keep them? Remove them? More input would be required to get a concenssus.
Let's remove it. It's not a dep of anything anyway.
dgen-sdl: FS#12564 and license issue. x86_64 package will probably be removed because of this. I guess I could go ahead and add the license to the i686 package.
James contacted the code author and got permission to patch it. So the x86_64 package will be fixed and the license will be added.
Can we make sure we include the permission blurb in the package license info?
mkpxelinux: - Tobias P. custom script. License is unspecified. Tobias: can you give it a license?
Still needs to be done.
Pinging tpowa - please license this code.
No objections so far in doing the proposed cleanup:
To unsupported: guile-gtk hwd lshwd unionfs-utils user-mode-linux xsmbrowser
To be removed completely (no longer build/work): ccaudio ksymoops randline xmame-sdl
Looks ok to me - isn't xmame kind of a big deal, though? Or I am thinking of xsane?
