Bug#472199: I want to improve licensecheck, if ok with current maintainers
Hi Carsten (and Zack), On Sat, Aug 14, 2010 at 02:12:09PM +0200, Carsten Hey wrote: our DPL is thankful and happy about your work and would welcome your helping hands with devscripts although he is no project admin and thus could not grant you commit access ... but he forgot to CC you in his reply to #472199 (possibly because he assumed you did already subscribe to the list). Indeed I did not receive the email from Zack (I blame my own mailinglist subscription fumbling for that, however - will try again after sending off this message). I'm just a devscripts user, but it looks like the standalone perl script licensecheck2dep5 Jonas wrote for CDBS could be added to devscripts in its current state if there would be a manpage for it. There are two ways I would prefer to adding another script to /usr/bin: * Placing this script in /usr/share/devscripts and add an option to licensecheck that would filter its output through licensecheck2dep5. * Moving the script into a sub of licensecheck and adding an appropriate option to licensecheck. My intended plan for licensecheck2dep5 (currently part of cdbs) is not to ship it as-is with devscripts, but rather do as you propose as section option above: integrate with licensecheck itself, controlled by a commandline option. I notice that someone silently(?) added me to the devscripts team already, so take that as an approval of my proposal to work on this - even more official than a go from our DPL ;-) Thanks for pushing me!

An extra helping hands with devscripts is always welcome, especially if
you plan to work not only on licensecheck but also to help out with some
other devscripts :-P I'm no admin of the project though, so I cannot
directly give you commit access ...
Cheers.

Hi, I developed the CDBS licensecheck2dep5 wrapper mentioned by Reinhard, and would like to both integrate those, merge with the other patches in this bugreport, and develop licensecheck further. I have requested membership of the devscripts team, and am in the process of subscribing the the mailinglist now. Hope you are fine letting me work on this. And thanks to Reinhard for pushing me out of my cave :-P - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: Digital signature
