Hello, A couple of days before, I proposed debtags facet for categorization of non-free, some contrib and maybe some non-debian packages.
The purpose is that the user can choose which packages in non-free and contrib are acceptable for him/her, and to give some info, why the software if not dfsg-free. For example, for many people packages under GFDL (in non-free) are free enough, and the contents (what is really installed, even it is not in the package itself) of flashplugin-nonfree or msttcorefonts (only in contrib) not. My original proposal of tags with descriptions, and example of classifying some packages: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debtags-devel/2005-November/001027.html I proposed these tags: Tag: restriction::nonfree-use Tag: restriction::no-distribution (only for non-debian packages) Tag: restriction::nonfree-distribution Tag: restriction::no-source Tag: restriction::nonfree-source Tag: restriction::nonfree-modifications Tag: restriction::nonfree-depend (only for free otherwise packages) Tag: restriction::nonfree-compile (only for free otherwise packages) where first six would be used, if the software is not dfsg free in that particular thing, the last two would be mostly for contrib packages. Maybe, the nonfree-source and nonfree-modifications could be merged and nonfree-depend removed (can be found through dependencies). Enrice Zini suggested more elegant system on: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debtags-devel/2005-November/001029.html Facet: restricted Tag: restricted::bin:use Tag: restricted::bin:dist Tag: restricted::bin:change (included for simmetry, maybe meaningless) Tag: restricted::src:use (or study) Tag: restricted::src:dist Tag: restricted::src:change Tag: restricted::deps:run Tag: restricted::deps:build We will be glad if you tell your comments to help us make it in the most useful way. Thanks PS: I'm not on th -legal list, so please cc me (or do reply-to-all). _______________________________________________ Debtags-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debtags-devel
