RFS: windowlab (updated package)
Pinging, interval one month, due to lack of response after rebuilding the submitted packaging. Dear mentors, This packaging of windowlab_1.40-1 has a revised formulation of the copyright file, compared to the previous suggestion. In debian/copyright a clarification has been inserted, stating that the external code that the upstream author include in release 1.40 in fact originates with libglut, and thus conforms to the corresponding statement made on that library's author. Thus the present windowlab_1.40 is DFSG conformant. It builds these binary packages: windowlab - small and simple Amiga-like window manager The package appears to be lintian clean and builds well using pbuilder. The upload would fix the bug 575793. The upstream author has resolved an otherwise blocking call in X.org.

Hi, I'm quickly reviewing this. I haven't read the previous discussions about the copyright file in windowlab (can you link me to them if they're relevant?) It looks like the license of the code from Blender does not explicitly grant a right to modification, which would make it non-DFSG-free. Can you tell me whether this code is actually under Blender's license (i.e. GPL-2+), in which case that should be noted as such in windowlab's debian/copyright? -- Tim Retout t...@retout.co.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

If you think it's no problem, could you please document that in debian/copyright? This code is now incorporated by the upstream author of Windowlab, Nick Gravgaard, nothing is my insertion any more. Gravgaard stated in a response to the Ubuntu bug report that he altered Kilgard's code. I searched through the new licensing and file heads, but no mention of this new origin. The only pointer is at the end of 'events.c'. My impression this time, was that since Gravgaard accepts this altered code, of expressed origin with Kilgard, he judges it to be acceptable and compatible with the AEWM clauses. The blocking bug that this code is intended to remedy is a common trait of all unpatched descendants of Aewm, ever since glibc-2.7 or a recent X.org, of some reason unknown to me, began stumbling on signals. If you take these words of mine into regard, and your greater experience with licenses, do you concede a suitable comment in 'debian/copyright' to cover the back for Debian GNU/Linux? Clearly Gravgaard is not so concerned as we are. In an almost palpable sense, I judge the publication of the bug resolution to be a matter of some urgency, taking priority over finalizing the exact phrasing of licenses, just to provide the few users that do exist, a fully functional package. (I wonder if I will have to pay hard time for this loophole phrasing?) The Ubuntu team is presently triaging windowlab-1.39 and windowlab-1.38 for this bug, and for Debian I would like to use a further update to the next packaging 1.40-2, to conscientiously think our copyright notice through again. The upstream author seems to have lost his hesitance, so this is now a matter for Debian to resolve on its own. +/* Copyright (c) Mark J.

Performing that wildcard replacement for all targets, would erase my efforts to set a priority for the window manager ranking, thus setting it to an improperly low value instead of the chosen 40. On the other hand, I am still reluctant to implement a debhelper override for the install target, since that would mean using a version of debhelper so recent that backporting to, or building inside Lenny would be a mess.

Re: RFS: windowlab (updated package)
Hi, Christoph Egger christ...@debian.org (28/03/2010): I get the impression that S. Engelsman took the function interruptibleXNextEvent() from Mark J. Kilgard's contribution to Blender, and then Engelsman wrote the replacing call instead of XNextEvent(). So this patch is part of Debian's blender package? might be, but as upstream code, not as a Debian-specific patch. FWIW and AFAICT, Blender code is usually just GPL'd and copyright gets assigned to the Blender Foundation (see copyright notices, with contributors listed thereafter).

Re: RFS: windowlab (updated package)
Dear mentors, Hi, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.34-2 of my new package of windowlab. It builds this binary package: windowlab - Small and simple Amiga-like window manager The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/windowlab - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/windowlab/windowlab_1.34-2.dsc It would please me if someone could scrutinize and possibly upload this package, after any corrections deemed necessary. I have enhanced the old package to register x-window-manager, and I believe to have fixed a problem when closing windowlab down, when there still are active clients. I have observed this tendency of malfunction for two years now. Taking care of existing bugs is very welcomed indeed, however you should send a patch with the differences between the current package and the NMU you have prepared to the BTS, then you should give some time (usually some days) to the maintainer to react. http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/pkgs.html#nmu Please, do add me to your CC line when responding. Done. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
