doc/fdl.texi is removed below If I'm understanding correctly, removing fdl.texi seems wrong to me. I'm supposing it's created dynamically from a copy in gnulib or somewhere now? But the license can't be updated merely by changing that file. The @copying block has to be updated also. In fact, the @copying block now says 1.2, but (I'm guessing) fdl.texi v1.3 is what gets pulled in.
I think the right outcome is: 1) change 1.2 to 1.3 in @copying in inetutils.texi. 2) keep a copy of fdl[-1.3].texi in the repo. 3) in the event that the fdl is updated, both things need to be updated. I don't know of any plausible way to automate it, and updates are so infrequent, it doesn't seem worth the effort. You raise good points and thank you for catching them, I am not sure what we should do. coreutils for example doesn't include fdl.texi, and coreutils is generally our guideline when it comes to these things. Jim and co, what do you think? _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
