Hi Arthur,<br>
<br>
I was just looking at updating subject packaging project to the new<br>
upstream version and I hope you don't mind me asking some probably<br>
obvious questions about the DFSG changes so that I can learn more about<br>
that process:<br>
<br>
* Removal of dll and jar files I understand.<br>
<br>
* Removal of zlib, pcrelib (and I think also the DocBook XSL<br>
stylesheets) I assume is just in favour of external packages.<br>
<br>
* Removal of the CalendarPopup.js seems to make sense because even I<br>
can see incompatible restrictions in the license, and this has been<br>
removed from upstream sources now it seems.<br>
<br>
* I did not bother to look at all at appsrc/ODS-Framework/rte,<br>
binsrc/yacutia/ie7, binsrc/samples/TPC-W/ or binsrc/oat/toolkit since<br>
they no longer appear to be distributed in the upstream sources either.<br>
<br>
The one I'm unsure about is appsrc/ODS-Wiki. Can you please tell me why<br>
that was removed for DFSG?<br>
<br>
I have read the DFSG bullet points under the Debian Social Contract, but<br>
are there any more detailed guides or tools that people use in applying<br>
the guidelines in packaging? Or do you just go through the entire source<br>
manually and check licenses on everything?<br>
<br>
Also have you been communicating with OpenLink on some of these points<br>
or was it coincidence that they seem to have removed much of the<br>
offending code?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
