Hi Mike, >> To me it sounds (if we want to stay in line with the terms of use with >> SF), that we either do that (but then, what actually _is_ a "binary >> releases made via our File Release System or any other project resource" > > Martin, > The SF policy applies to the FRS only. If you release a binary, you have > to release source that will allow building that binary. If that's the case, that's good (since it means less tarballs are required). I was just unsure about the "or any other project resource" in the sentence:
"SourceForge.net requires that source code releases be made via our File Release System for any binary releases made via our File Release System or any other project resource." Since we're somewhat abusing CVS by storing our (binary) packages in there, it could be argued that CVS is one of those "other project resource[s]". But as I said - I'm not a lawyer, and I try to stay away from reading/interpreting legalese if I can. By the way - are you aware of a way to automate the process of uploading something into FRS, apart from using some form of screen-scraping the SF website? Never having used the FRS in any shape or form, I'm afraid I don't know much about it - other than hearing from a couple of project admins (from other SF projects) that it's awkward to use. But that was several years ago, so things might have changed. Martin P.S. I don't have time to get back into actively working on LEAF any time soon - but I might find the time to provide some "helper tools" to make sticking to the SF policies easier to those who are actively working on LEAF. I can't promise anything though - I'm afraid I can't commit to anything at the moment, since I just don't know how busy things might be a week from now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
