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.
First up, a big cheer for Eric here! He has done a lot of work to get this finished. <snip>
codecs: emovix-codecs: - There is no license information in the tarball or on mplayer's site. <snip> If we assume that we are allowed to package these codecs, my favorite license is the NetBSD one. Only avifile in community has a specific depends on codecs. If it's not a true dependency like in mplayer (not tested), we could just remove them from the repo. Any comments?
Can't we just use "unknown" as in the packages below.
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.
Or the whole package could go to unsupported... In fact, for the rest of the packages with issues you mentioned, I am fine with them going to unsupported. Most seem to be cruft at first glance. Allan
