Package: dh-make Version: 0.50 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
The first patch: - Adjusts the layout of all licence files to canonical format (TOPIC <RET> <INDENT>) etc. The second patch - Applied after the first, simplifies the GPL licenses by replacing the FSF address with the FSF URL pointer. As of 2010 the Web communication is probably faster that asking snail mail. In addition it seems that FSF favors this approach[1] [1] See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl-howto.html where the current FSF recommended layout reads: "You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>." -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dh-make depends on: ii debhelper 7.4.3 helper programs for debian/rules ii dpkg-dev 1.15.5.4 Debian package development tools ii make 3.81-7 An utility for Directing compilati ii perl 5.10.1-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction dh-make recommends no packages.
