Follow-up Comment #1, task #13649 (project administration):

I think I made a mistake in the Type of project : it's a Gnu software as it is
AGPL Licence. 

==

Je pense avoir fait une erreur sur le type de projet : c'est un logiciel GNU
comme c'est une licence AGPL

Follow-up Comment #2:

Hello,

Thank you for submitting a new project to host on GNU Savannah.

The project type "non-gnu" is correct: using GPL/AGPL license does not make an
official GNU package.

project hosted on savannah must comply with the hosting requirements:
http://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php 
http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/HowToGetYourProjectApprovedQuickly

Please add copyright statement and license notice to all files.
There are several python files and many cfg files which do not have one or the
other (or both).
For non-source code files - if you can not embed a copyright and license
information in the files, please add a README file with explicit information
about the files.

Several files mention "Linux".
Linux is a Kernel, not a whole operating system. Please update the files and
use the correct term GNU/Linux if the context is operating system and not
Kernel-specific topic.
See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html and
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html .

The file 'contrib/install.d/multisite.mk' mentions "Open Source Components".
Please use "Free Software" to refer to software which respects Your Freedom.
For more information, see
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html and
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html .


Please upload an updated archive to continue the submission process.

regards,
- assaf

Follow-up Comment #3, task #13649 (project administration):

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback. I attached a draft of file to specify the Licence in
the whole project. 

Tell me if this is fine for you so that I can integrate it upstream.

Moreover, can you point me some file with linux in it? 
My grep mostly give me test files or etc files.
I've found only one or two occurences of linux that are worth correcting IMO
(logging event and comments in python file)
Do we agree that there are not many occurences of Linux that need to be
replaced by gnu/Linux ?

For multisite.mk I removed a lot of file in contrib because this directory is
mostly a trash / draft place. It's on the Roadmap to clean this properly.

Let me know if you are OK with the file so that I can merge it in the develop
branch (the one you looked at it)

Thanks,

PS : There is no official release of this project for now. I was planning to
update tarball at every release on Savannah.

Follow-up Comment #5, task #13649 (project administration):

Hello,

Thank you for the update.

There are still some source code files without a clear copyright statement or
license notice (or both). Few examples are:
  install_hooks.py
  libexec/notify_by_xmpp.py
  manpages/generate_manpages.py
  setup.py
  test/alignak_tst_utils.py 
  test/test_all_setup.sh
  test/test_http_client.py
  test/test_module_backcompatible.py
  libexec/external_mapping.py
  libexec/service_dependency_mapping.py
  libexec/link_xen_host_vm.py
  contrib/clients/TSCA/python/PythonClient.py
  alignak/bin/_deprecated_VERSION.py
  alignak/webui/bottlewebui.py
  test/test_deprecated_version.py

There could be others. Please ensure ALL source code files have a clear
copyright and license information.

Regarding "linux" vs GNU/Linux:
All instances that refer to running under the GNU/Linux operating system
should say "GNU/Linux". Instances that refer to kernel-specific function (e.g.
a system-call) should say "Linux".

Few examples:

In 'etc/sample/hosts/srv-postgresql.cfg', the comment is "# This is a sample
host for a postgresql server running under linux," - when the intention is
that it runs under GNU/Linux operating system (unless it's a non-gnu but still
linux-based system).
This repeats in many other CFG files.

In 'test/test_service_tpl_on_host_tpl.py', the comment says "The linux and
http service should exist on the linux host" - since other comments near that
line refer to "windows", I assume that "linux" here refer to the entire
operating system which should be GNU/Linux, and not to the "Linux" kernel.

Follow-up Comment #6, task #13649 (project administration):

Hi,

As you mentionned before I added a note in the README to specify the licence
in file without it. Is it not enough? 

My note is : 

"Alignak is licensed under the Gnu Affero General Public Licence version 3
(AGPLv3). Unless specified by another header, this licence apply to all files
in this repository"

For the linux vs GNU/Linux,
As far as I can see those are "variables" in configuration files and or in
tests files. 

I can just reupload the tarball without the /test directory, which is
basically useless for Savannah (as I won't run tests from this source)

Is this good for you?

I'll reupload the file without test and small fixes if so.

Thanks !

Follow-up Comment #8, task #13649 (project administration):

Hello,

As I explained before, to comply with GNU Savannah's hosting requirements,
*EACH* file must have a clear copyright statement and license information.

If you had created a new package all by yourself (i.e. wrote ALL files by
yourself from scratch),
then adding mentioning the copyright and licenses for all files in a README
file
would be been somewhat acceptable (though still highly discouraged).

But you are forking an existing package written by others.
So for example, the files I've listed before:
   libexec/external_mapping.py 

Contains a AGPLv3 license notice, and a mention that "this file is part of
Shinken".
But who is the copyright owner of this file?
I would assume that perhaps it is the "shinkin" project authors - but there is
no way to know.

That is why, especially with a project is written by multiple parties, it is
*required* that each file is clearly licensed and copyrighted.

PLEASE,
ensure all files have clear copyright statements and licensing information -
either by your or by the upstream project.

Regarding the usage of "Linux":
In the files that I've listed (and perhaps in others), the term "Linux" is
used in comments.
Those could and should be changed without affecting program execution.

Regarding excluding files:
If you intend to later add these files to Savannah (e.g. using git), then
these files should not be excluded.

To continue with project evaluation,
please upload an updated archive (i.e. a tarball, containing all files,
updated and not-updated) using the savannah web interface.

regards,
 - assaf

Follow-up Comment #9, task #13649 (project administration):

Hello,

Are you still interested in the submission of project 'Alignak' ?

If within two weeks there is no reply, this submission request
will be closed. You will still be able to register the project
again once you have the time to
deal with the registration issues.

Regards,
- Assaf

Hi,

We are not interested in registering Alignak. We only wanted to register to
use mailing list but we found something fitting our needs in a better way.
