Or the code in question should handle the absence of this file
gracefully as
`gui/wxpython/gui_core/ghelp.py` does for `GPL.TXT`.
ah, I overlooked this file
find /usr/lib/grass70 -name GPL*
/usr/lib/grass70/GPL.TXT
QGIS was affected by a similar issue, that was solved by symlinking
the
GPL-2 text (from /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2) to
`/usr/share/qgis/doc/LICENSE`, we can do that for GRASS too.
So the correct approach is to create a link from
/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2, right? If so I can fix the related
code (wxGUI, grass.py) before releasing 7.0.4. Martin
Installing the symlink instead of a copy of the license file is
preferable.
That should also remove the need to add a lintian override for the
extra-license-file issue.
/usr/lib/grass70/GPL.TXT is already a symlink to
/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2 (see debian/grass-core.links{,.in})
/usr/lib/grass70/etc/license does not include the full license text,
it's just the license header (see lib/init/license.txt), so replacing
this with a symlink to the GPL-2 file is not appropriate.
Dropping the removal from the rules file and adding an override for the
lintian issue should be the way to go to resolve this issue after all.
