Bug#862260: zlib: debian/copyright isn't in DEP5 format

[Do Thanh Trung]

Hi

I updated zlib's copyright.
There is one thing different with libz-mingw-w64 copyright, it is 
copyright holder "1998 Andreas R. Kleinert". In libz-mingw-w64, Stephen 
puts this copyright in section "Files: *", but I only see this copyright 
in "amiga/Makefile.pup", so I created a new section for it.

Files: amiga/Makefile.pup
Copyright: 1998 by Andreas R. Kleinert
License: Zlib


Copyright holder of debian/* is set to "2000-2017 Mark Brown".

Bug#862260: zlib: debian/copyright isn't in DEP5 format

[Do Thanh Trung]

Thank you very much for the feedback.
Sorry for sending an incomplete copyright and late reply.

I am updating it now, but I am not clear about copyright holder of Files 
debian/*. Could you please guide me how I should define this. This will 
help me a lot in future.
As I see in copyright of libz-mingw-w64, Copyright of debian/* is set to 
maintainer. Are there any rules or policies about this and where should 
I look for the information about debian/* copyright holder name?


Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Trung

As Stephen indicated not all the files in the package are under the same
license.  I guess I'm OK with doing the conversion but it needs to be
accurate.

Sorry if this is not suitable place to discuss this kind of problem.
Currently, I am rewriting copyright of several packages to DEP5 format
for a project. I hope my patches could help you save time.

This is patch for debian/copyright of zlib. You can look into it if
you have time.


Thanks for taking care of this, unfortunately the patch appears to be 
incomplete. See 
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/libz-mingw-w64.git/tree/debian/copyright 
for a more detailed machine-readable zlib copyright file.

It's worth noting that that file documents a number of contrib files 
which aren't in the zlib source in Debian.
