Package: avalon-framework
Version: 4.2.0-7
Severity: minor

Hello Debian people :)
This is the first bug I'm forwarding upstream. I hope everything is Ok with it...

pura vida.

This report was originally filled by Kyle Nitzsche at:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avalon-framework/+bug/610616

The debian/copyright asserts it is formatted according to the Dep5 proposed standard but is invalid in a couple respects.

Attached [1] a patch (bzr diff on the file) that brings it into conformance with the current draft version (135, see http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/dep/web/deps/dep5.mdwn?op=file&rev=135).

These are the changes:
   * Added URL to the version of the draft standard the copyright file
     implements
   * Changed "License: ..." lines to validly assert Apache-2.0 license (
     spaces are not allowed in license names)
   * created new free-standing "License: " stanza to hold previously
     redundant text that says where to find apache-2.0 license text
   * removed line about where pom files were downloaded from. Is this info
     required? if so, I am not sure how to add it, perhaps with a new
     header starting with "X-", as in "X-Downloaded: ..."

Attached bzr diff is against lp:ubuntu/avalon-framework.
