Source: ensembl
Version: 63-1
Severity: serious
Justification: distributable?
Hi,
ensembl's debian/README.source says:
| Since Jalview is not yet part of Debian, its source code is also not
| yet available through or distribution. To better comply with the GPL,
| the source code of Ensembl also ships the sources for Jalview. It was
| downloaded from http://www.jalview.org/source/jalview_2_6_1.tar.gz
| with embedded jars removed. This dependency on the jalview .jar renders
| the Ensembl package non-free for the time being. The situtation shall
| improve over the course of 2011. The such repacked jar file is located
| in the Ensembl package's source tree at
| ensembl-57/htdocs/jalview/jalview_2.6.1_nojars.orig.tar.gz .
Unfortunately no such file exists --- I guess it disappeared during
some upgrade. The jars in the source package only contain class
files, no .java source files.
Assuming that what debian/copyright says is correct, this would make
the ensembl package non-distributable:
| Files: htdocs/jalview/jalview*.jar
[...]
| Copyright: (C) 1999-2011 by all authors.
| License: GPL-3
Am I understanding correctly? If so, please correct the package and
notify the admins of snapshot.debian.org so the nondistributable
versions can be removed. If not, please clarify in debian/copyright.
This must have been a huge effort to package. Thanks for your hard
work!
Regards,
Jonathan
