[Python-modules-team] Bug#458383: ipython: documentation not DFSG-free

[Bernd Zeimetz]

Package: ipython
Version: 0.8.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1

I'm filing this bug as I don't have the time to fix it completely now.
I've started to work on it, but I doubt I will have the time to work on it
during the next weeks.

Not sure when it started, but ipython ships
- html documentation generated with latex2html (which is non-free)
- no sources for the documentation (manual.pdf is created from the same
  source as the html files).

Although the official tarball is missing the sources, they're available
in upstream's svn, which is freely accessible. Repackaging their sources
from svn should fix this bug for us as long as they don't ship the
sources of their documentation.


Cheers,

Bernd
