Please find attached a patch documenting the missing licenses. I discussed with Paul Tagliamonte who rejected your syslinux upload and he explained that nowadays he would accept the package but file an RC bug to get the copyright file fixed. I believe that with this patch, your package should be safe to go through NEW anyway. Let's go ahead and make some progress. (BTW the switch to syslinux 6 should happen sooner rather than later, i.e. well before the jessie freeze, let's not redo the same mistake than last time.) Cheers, PS: This mail concerns syslinux and not live-build obviously, but since the discussion started here, I send it here. If you can't merge it quickly, and would prefer a dedicated bug against syslinux, let me know. -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Discover the Debian Administrator's Handbook: → http://debian-handbook.info/get/
