2008-03-06 Thread Leonardo Rodrigues de Mello
Hi Stu Teasdale and others maintainers of ganglia-monitor-core,

I want to help the packaging effort of ganglia-monitor-core.
I am using this software since 2004, and i have free time to co-maintain it.

Best regards.

We have resolved this issue now, but other blockers and a lack of time 
on my part to backport some library routines has kept 3.0.x out. I'm 
tracking the 3.1 dev tree atm, and periodically pushing out svn 
packages. Hopefully I'll be getting those pushed into experimental soon.

Never face facts; if you do you'll never get up in the morning.

Followup-For: Bug #353364

Hi Stuart,

Almost 2 years ago you mentioned that the reason that Ganglia version
3.x was not getting into Debian was because the developers had included
some of the source of glibc directly into Ganglia without changing the
licence of Ganglia from BSD to GPL.  You were going to contact the
developers and let them know about the problem, but you never mentioned
the outcome of the discussion in the Debian bug-tracking system.

Have you considered reporting this problem to the FSF?  They can be very
efficient about policing their copyrights when they want to be.
