[arch-dev-public] signoff sudo 1.6.9p9 for i686
Please signoff on sudo 1.6.9p9 for i686. If someone would build/upload/signoff for x86_64, that would also be appreciated. - P

A normal sudo worked fine for me. Signing off, i686. -Dan

I built the package for x86_64 and siging off. However, I've fixed the license field: -license=('custom' 'ISC') +license=('custom:ISC') It might be a good idea to rebuild the i686 package without bumping the pkgver to fix the license and restart the signing for i686.

Hate to say it, but it's *not* a good idea it rebuild the i686 package without bumping the pkgver. It's never a good idea to have two different versions of a package out in the wild with the same pkgname-pkgver-pkgrel. Jason

I agree with Jason. Even if there were a case for an exception, I'd probably pass on it for the sudo package, because of its nature and size. - P

Please revert this change. See http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/support/sudo/PKGBUILD.diff?r1=1.28&r2=1.29 I changed licenses to 'custom' 'ISC' because sudo actually uses 2 different licenses for different parts. Actually, the patch was applied by Dan because I experienced some issues with CVS access at that time. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

Perhaps a short comment within the PKGBUILD might be usefull to explain such things. -- http://www.archlinux.de

I have reverted the changed, added such a comment, and moved the already signed-off i686 package to core. - P

For the license, it might have been better to simply use license=('custom') By having 'ISC' by itself, it implies that ISC is one of the common licenses which it is not. Also, in the future, can we keep the packages in testing until it get signed off for both architectures? Apart from the fact that it will be more foolproof as more people had looked at it, we should try to keep the repo for the 2 architectures as in sync as possible. Otherwise, we might get complaints and bug reports about why the x86_64 package is still in testing. Also, it is simpler for us to keep track because it will be hard to tell after some time why the x86_64 package is still in testing. Is it because it's waiting to be signed off, because no-one noticed that it was signed off shortly afterward or if it was just forgotten? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Is there someone else thinking the same? We should get a resolution on the license field so we can fix it as needed and get the required signoff. Eric -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I was told ISC was a 'common' license like BSD, where you still needed to install a license to /usr/share/licenses/$pkgname but it's in enough use that we support it as a common one. Was I misinformed?

You were informed correctly. ISC is pretty much like 2-clause BSD license (see wikipedia). The most known package that uses it is, obviously, bind. It is a common license in Arch - in namcap 2.0 and the latest version of Travis' checklicense script. So it shouldn't be listed as just license=('custom'). -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
