hey did i miss any emails? sorry for the delayed response, i had to take care of things. im not sure how to subscribe to this email list.
i have updated the website to describe right at the start, what this program actually does. and now there is a copyright disclaimer in the .bin. openage.org/gg thank you for the feedback. its very useful. im not quite sure how to ask someone to create a package for this project in debian. if i make a bug report.. but this is not a bug. this is a program that im trying to promote. Should i send an email to w...@debian.org <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?maint=wnpp%40debian.org> ? kind regards, Hermann, Iceland On Wed, Apr 21, 2021 at 6:54 PM Davide Prina <davide.pr...@gmail.com> wrote: > I CC to Hermann because I don't know if he has subscribe to this > mailing-list. > > On 21/04/21 12:11, Andrey Rahmatullin wrote: > > On Wed, Apr 21, 2021 at 08:00:05AM +0000, Hermann Ingjaldsson wrote: > >> I have developed a program that makes it easier to work in the terminal. > >> I have published it here: > >> https://openage.org/gg/ > > > To be honest I couldn't understand from this page what does this software > > actually do except for displaying the folder contents, for which you > could > > just use a much more featureful file navigator like mc (or, if one likes > > toys and vim integration, run `vim .`). > > I think it is not so simple to understand what that software can do, > probably it is better that Hermann create some examples that show what > you can do with that. > > I have seen other terminal "extensions" that let you have help during > command composition... > > >> Would Debian be interested in including GG in the Debian system? > > > Debian cannot include it until it has a license (and a DFSG-free one). > > But I also doubt Debian will benefit from including his software. > > If I don't mistake the software don't have a copyright statement and a > license to apply to them. > > If this is correct the software cannot be used by anyone without a > written permission signed by the copyright owner. > > I suggest to Hermann to search for a license to use and then to compile > a correct "use" of that license (== Copyright + license). > > You can find an useful introduction on how to do that here, also if you > don't select the GPL license: > https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html > > I would like to suggest to use always the AGPL license, this one is the > only license that I know that let protect your free software on any > actual usage type. > > After you have done that and you have select a license that is > "compatible" with Debian you can do: > > 1) ask is someone in Debian (a DD = Debian Developer) or someone else > can create a package for this software and maintain it. > > for doing that you can fill a bug report in the wnpp pseudo-package > you can see here the wnpp filled actually > https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=wnpp > > I would warn you that this is not a good choice, because probably you > don't will find anyone that will do that. > > 2) package your software yourself and do the maintenance work.
