Hi Winfried -- I'll write you separately about README.en.  I think further
discussions need not take place here.

Mario -- you approved the project.  Did you intend to leave this task open
for some reason?

Thanks,

Follow-up Comment #17, task #10372 (project administration):

Hi Winfried -- some image formats can contain copyright information, others
can't.  But even when they can, it's usually more expedient for everyone to
put the information outside the image itself.

As for simplifying the lists, in your case you (I assume) created all the
icons.  So the list can simply say

"The following image files are all licensed under GPLv3 or any later
version.
Copyright  Winfried Bruegmann
file1.ico file2.png file3.jpg ...
"

Thanks for all,
Karl

Follow-up Comment #16, task #10372 (project administration):

Hi Mario, hi Karl

I received a comment where Icons and images should be listed in the README
file for copyright notice. I wonder about the following:
...The xpm,icns and ico files contain copyright and license information,...
I am not aware how a image file like the listed icon formats may contain a
copyright. I f you search through the DataExplorer source you will find a lot
of icons used foe the different operating system platforms as icon for the
launcher, a lot of icons in gif format used for the menu and a lot of screen
shots in png format within the help content.

Is there a way to summarize the copyright message for all the gif files used
for menu bar, all the screen shots in png format? This would simplify a lot
and would fill less README pages.  

I did not receive the generated mail with all the image files listed. So I am
a little bit confused what to do.

Thanks for help and hints
Winfried

DataExplorer"

Hi.  I'm sorry for the long delay.

I have approved this project.  You will receive an auto-generated
email containing detailed information about the approval.

I noticed several files don't yet have the copyright & licensing
information, for auto generated files or files than otherwise you
can't edit, please list them in a README file where you state the
appropiate information about them regarding copying permissions.  Here
is an example, from the GNU Emacs source:

  * The following icons are part of Emacs.  All are licensed under the
GNU General Public License version 3 (see COPYING) or later.
The xpm and svg files contain copyright and license information, but
it is reproduced here for convenience.  

  File: mh-logo.xpm

  [...]

You can use any format for README file as longer as it state (at
least) the copyright holder/years and license, for each file than
don't contains this inforamtion inside.

Please fix this issue soon, and let me know when done, then I will do
a final review to DataExplorer and close the task if all is ok.

Note: I guess you alredy know this, but just for be sure: This was the
evaluation for request hosting in GNU Savannah.  The evaluation for
GNU package is a different process.  The instructions for offer a
package to GNU are: http://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html.

Regards and thanks for your interest in free software.

Follow-up Comment #14, task #10372 (project administration):

Hi Winfried -- thanks for all your efforts.

Regarding the manual, I'd be happy to look at it at some point when we get
back to making this a GNU package.

Regarding the tests, in general I think it would be best to include the
sample data.  If you wrote a short bit of information about how you execute
the tests in Eclipse, that would be helpful.  But there's no requirement on
tests, so don't feel compelled to make sure they can be run from the command
line (typically as part of make check ... automake has a whole infrastructure
for this, but, as I say, it's up to you whether to go down that road).

Best,
Karl

Follow-up Comment #13, task #10372 (project administration):

Hi Mario and Karl,

I have updated, as pointed by Karl all containing HTML files with the GNU
header and copyright. The legacy application name is exchanged to DataExplorer
and all occurrence of Linux is changed to GNU/Linux. In addition I have also
added this type of header to all the XSD files and build.xml files. Please
check if this is OK and GNU conform. Thanks

I have updated added the users guide to the source distribution in file type
odt as well as pdf (this is semi manual generated from the help HTML files).
Since I am not a native speaker I would really appreciate if you can cross
read and point me to the errors which needs to be reworked, thanks for this
too.

To the dataexplorer-src distribution I have added my JunitMiscTest folder,
where I want to ask if this makes sense to be added and how it should be
enabled for usage ? Well the most test required at least sample data, which
are not part of the source distribution actually. Should I add sample data or
remove this Junit test project again ? Finally it makes a lot of sense in my
eyes, but I never execute it outside the eclipse IDE, so I am not aware if it
is executable from shell command line.So here are some todos for my side.

The download link point now to a more GNU like tarball (instead of a zipball)
http://bruegmaenner.de/de/winfried/osde/source/dataexplorer-2.22-src.tar.gz

regards Winfried

Hi Karl and Winfried.

If all issues have been fixed please provide (an URL pointing to) the
updated tarball.

At your option we can continue the registration process in the (D)VCS
repository of your choise.  This means I would approve the project just
now provided you agree to fix any remaining or further issue (If any)
as soon as possible.

I will close this task when I can check all is ok but please bear in
mind you must follow the hosting requirements as long as you do use
GNU Savannah.

Follow-up Comment #10, task #10372 (project administration):

I have added the following sentence to the README.en right under the
paragraph where I declared the place where the application configuration is
described:
This dynamically written files containing the application configuration
and/or device configuration data are public domain. 
(I did the same in the README.de, but only in German) 
(I did not rebuild and upload the DataExplorer source zipball since the
change set seams to small actually, I am sure the change set will growth over
time and I will update it soon)

Karl, you are right the number of files containing a copyright statement is
irrelevant, relevant are the number of files without copyright falling under
the classification were a copyright is really required. In my comment I count
only the Java source code files and did not count files like messages files.
Probably my help HMTL files lack of copyright statement.

Yes, you are right AkkuMaster is the plug-in implementation where the
AkkuMaster battery charger devices are implemented and this is part of my
implementation as well as the other plug-ins I provide in the devices
directory:
AkkuMaster.jar
CSV2SerialAdapter.jar
eStation.jar
LiPoWatch.jar
Picolario.jar
Simulator.jar
UniLog.jar
VC800.jar 

You can find the implemented and supported devices described in the README
files. I am sure you will find a correlation from the plug-in-jar to the
device name.

regards

Winfried

Follow-up Comment #9, task #10372 (project administration):

Winfried -- please add a statement to the README saying that the
dynamically-rewritten config files are in the public domain.  That would take
care of those.  (I thought we'd already talked about that, but I probably just
forgot.  Sorry.)  It doesn't matter how many files have the license statement,
what matters is how many don't :).

AkkuMaster is part of DataExplorer, isn't it?

Thanks,
K

Follow-up Comment #8, task #10372 (project administration):

Hi Mario,

- project can run on a Free Software Java suite and Operating System
This is already done using an Ubuntu 9.04 distribution with the
IcedTea/OpenJDK coming through the actual repository channel.

- lack the Copyright & licensing information
All my Java source files has already a Copyright statement as well as
licensing information in the header. Only XSD and XML does not since this are
configuration files and re-written by the software during usage. This
configuration files defines visualization properties as well as device
specific properties which are required to interpreted the data to be displayed
or calculated. Eexecuting "find . -name "*.java" -exec grep -il Copyright {}
;" will return 226 files including a copyright statement. 

- plain text version of the GPL
If I extract the zipball I see an COPYING file, I wonder why you do not see
such file. As well there are README.en and README.de available which includes
a link to http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html. The README.* files are
contained in the binary distributions created during ./configure & make. If
the link provided is not sufficient please provide me with a sufficient one.

- screenshots of a software called "AkkuMaster" running on the propietary MS
Windows
If I extract the zipball I can not find a directory
/dataexplorer-2.20/AkkuMaster/src/help/src, instead there are directories
../AkkuMaster/src/help/de and ../AkkuMaster/src/help/en which contains screen
shots of the AkkuMaster device plug-in dialogs to help to explain the
functionality of it. The AkkuMaster.jar plug-in is written, as all the device
plug-ins, in Java. For a better understanding of my software please read
"http://bruegmaenner.de/en/winfried/osde/OpenSerialDataExplorer - Users
Guide.pdf". Yes this documentation uses an different name for the software.
The name was changed to DataExplorer in agreement with Karl Berry, since the
"open" will not be excepted by GNU.
It might be possible that I used a window manager which visualization is
similar to an old fashion MW Windows visualization during the time I just took
this screen shots, if this hurts, please let me know.

The idea to using Java for this implementation was to enable support for a
wide spread of operating systems beside GNU/Linux like MS Windows and Apples
Mac OS. 
 

Cheers
Winfried

May 18th 2010 in GNU Savannah task #10372: "Submission of
DataExplorer".

Hi again and Sorry for the long delay.

I noticed some issues of my concern with the zipball you submited:

*I just noticed DataExplorer is written in Java.  We need you
 determine whether your project can run on a Free Software Java suite
 and Operating System (see
 https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/JavaIssues and
 http://www.gnu.org/software/java/ for more information).

 We recommend you to test your project using IcedTea, or GCJ + GNU
 Classpath over GNU/Linux, and ensure that DateExplorer runs on this
 Free enviroment.  IceTea is based on Sun's OpenJDK and uses free
 replacements for its proprietary parts. GCJ is the GNU Compiler for
 Java, part of the GCC (GNU Compiler Collection).  The Classpath
 project aims to develop a free and portable implementation of the
 Java API (the classes in the 'java' package).

 More information is available at http://icedtea.classpath.org/,
 http://gcc.gnu.org/ and http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/.

 Please provide us with more information about this point.

*Several files lack the Copyright & licensing information.  In order
 to release this or another software properly and unambiguously under
 the GNU GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy
 statements at the beginning of every copyrightable file, usually any
 file more than 10 lines long.

 In addition, if you haven't already, please include a copy of the
 plain text version of the GPL, available from
 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt, into a file named "COPYING".

 For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

 If some of your files cannot carry such notices (e.g. binary files),
 then you can add a README file in the same directory containing the
 copyright and license notices. Check
 http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for
 further information.

 The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.  To learn
 why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code,
 for example, see
 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude.

*There are some screenshots of a software called "AkkuMaster" running
 on the propietary MS Windows under
 /dataexplorer-2.20/AkkuMaster/src/help/src, and there is no licensing
 information at all about AkkuMaster.  Please add the licensing
 information to this project just as with the rest of the files if
 it's know, if not, you must either ask the copyright holder to
 release AkkuMaster under a free software license or delete it from
 (New versions of) the zipball and make sure DateExplorer don't
 depends on it.

Let us know if you need more information about the need changes.

Regards.

Hi Winfried.

You entered the URL of an HTML file in the Tarball URL field.

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to
catch potential legal issues early.

For example, to release your program properly under the GNU GPL you
must include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at
the beginning of every copyrightable file, usually any file more than
10 lines long.  This is explained in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help
catch potential omissions such as these.

Note that sending code to our repositories _is_ a release, since the
code will then be publicly available through anonymous access.

sorry for confusion, you are right the tarball I am referencing is the
content of my CVS and the size is 56 megabytes. It seams the tarball requested
by Mario is already known as "tarball URL", and was content of my evaluation

Follow-up Comment #3, task #10372 (project administration):

Winfried -- I assume you mean 50MB, not 50GB.  For purposes of
evaluation, you could remove any big jar files or other binaries from
the distribution (if they're still there), since they are irrelevant to
the eval.

Also, I'm surprised -- the last zip file you sent me was much smaller,
only 19mb.  What got added?

In any case, if it's still too big, I can arrange for you to use my
personal server for the upload.

Thanks,
Karl

Hi Mario, 
my CVS compressed tarball GDE.tar.gz has a size of 59105102 bytes. This size
could not be uploaded since the upload size is limited to 512kB. My webspace
also constrains to 50 GB. Is there a way to upload it directly ? 
The only workaround I see is to allocate an temp webspace where this size
limit exceeds for a limited time frame.
Do you have another idea how this can be handled ?

Details:

A new project has been registered at Savannah 
This project account will remain inactive until a site admin approves or
discards the registration.


= Registration Administration =

While this item will be useful to track the registration process, *approving
or discarding the registration must be done using the specific Group
Administration
 page*,
accessible only to site administrators, effectively *logged as site
administrators* (superuser):

* Group Administration



= Registration Details =

* Name: *DataExplorer*
* System Name:  *gde*
* Type: non-GNU software & documentation
* License: GNU General Public License v2 or later



 Description: 
The DataExplorer is a tool to gather, view and analyze data which comes from
miscellaneous devices which are enabled to log data. Devices might be data
logger, measurement devices, battery charging devices or similar. Views are
graphical curves, tables, statistics, bar graphs and other. 
The application itself runs on several operating system (32/64 Bit GNU/Linux
and Windows, Mac OS). 
Devices implementations are packaged in plug-in to make it independent of the
base. The DataExplorer declares a device API (IDevice) where other device
contributors to implement own device plug-in with relatively less coding
effort. This is the main goal of this project to enable anyone to connect data
gathering devices easily and display and analyze the data captured.
The program is NLS enabled, actual available messages are English and German,
this is also true for all users documentation. Design material and code
documentation is English only.
Actually my software is in evaluation process to be a real GNU software
together with Karl Berry. 
The current homepage where you can download and evaluate my software is
http://bruegmaenner.de/en/winfried/osde/OpenSerialDataExplorer.html where the
re-naming to DataExplorer is not fulfilled, but the source package
http://bruegmaenner.de/en/winfried/osde/Source.html and the CVS repository are
actually re-named to a GNU package accepted name.



 Other Software Required: 
RXTXcomm http://www.rxtx.org/
SWT http:eclipse.org/swt


 Other Comments: 
The main goal registering here is to host a CVS where the eclipse IDE based
projects can be checked out from everywhere to develop additional device
plug-in.
