Well, it could be argued if this little notice in README carries more legal weight than the intent expressed in the source files (the notice does not follow the recommended form and gpl.txt is missing)... We (pkg-gnustep) had an inititive 6 or 7 years ago to re-check the licenses of all GNUstep packages as the license of the GNUstep core libraries was upgraded to LGPLv3+ (the summary is still here: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianGNUstep/TODO). Unsurprisingly, many of the supposed GPLv2-only apps were licensed as such unintentionally by their authors, or were presumed by us to be GPLv2-only based on assumptions very similar to yours. GMastermind is much more likely to be GPL-2+ than GPL-2; I am quite certain about that. It's best to clarify though, so that you could sleep well. > To be sure of this, though, I'd have to get confirmation from all of > the contributors; writing to upstream wouldn't be enough.

You need to define the variable conditionally, like ifneq (,$(findstring noopt,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))) optim := debug=yes endif > > override_dh_link: > > mv $(d_app)/usr/bin/GMastermind $(d_app)/usr/games > > rm -rf $(d_app)/usr/bin > > mv $(d_app)$(GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_APPS)/*.app/Resources \ > > $(d_app)/usr/share/GNUstep/GMastermind.app > > dh_link /usr/share/GNUstep/GMastermind.app \ > > $(GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_APPS)/GMastermind.app/Resources > > Done. (I've added some mkdir -p lines in there so that it compiles.) $ GMastermind 2014-07-13 17:41:15.743 GMastermind[21255] Bad application class '(null)' specified And the icon is missing. This is because /usr/share/GNUstep/GMastermind.app contains the Resources directory; it should contain the files that are located there instead: - mkdir -p $(d_app)/usr/share/GNUstep/GMastermind.app + mkdir -p $(d_app)/usr/share/GNUstep > I've just put the new package is on mentors Thanks; no further remarks from me.
