Bug#410403: Oops.
Oops. Disregard that last message. I meant to send it to a different bug, from a different package, that I patched. -Brandon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#410403: You're welcome.
You're very welcome. I'm glad to help out. And no apologies necessary. Two week response time? That's speedy. I've patched bugs last year that still aren't incorporated. And thanks for responding. It makes me feel welcome. -Brandon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#385115: I wrote to Mark Allan, the author of chromium.
I wrote to Mark Allan, the author of chromium. He says, that to the best of his knowledge, all of the sound files are either public domain, or under a royalty free license. He says the music loops are definitely covered under a royalty-free license. The royalty-free license is restrictive, though. I think all of the music is from http://www.partnersinrhyme.com/. As I understand the partner's in rhyme license, they don't intend for anyone downloading chromium to take the sounds and use them in any way other than to play chromium. I think Mark paid for one of their CDs, and used it in his free product (chromium), royalty free. I bet if you asked partner's in rhyme directly, they would say, No, if you want to use our music in your project, you have to pay us a one-time fee. Here is a link to their license, and remember, this was licensed to Mark, not us: http://www.partnersinrhyme.com/wmcstore/faq/License.html He got the sound effects from findsounds.com. Which is like saying he got them from google. findsounds is a sound search engine. It is likely that all of the sound effects are copyrighted and not distributable. However, Mark made the images himself, and offered them, with chromium, under the Artistic License. Those can still be used in main. So, in summary, the images are free (Artistic License). The music is non-free (can not be re-used outside chromium). And the sounds are probably all non-distributable. -Brandon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#385115: A little more poking around.
I've been doing a little more poking around. I noticed that the file, boom.wav is used in abuse, as zap3.wav. They have the same md5sum. I thought, Oh no! Not abuse too! But, it turns out, that the maintainer for abuse got permission from the sound composer, Bobby Price (bpmusic.com), for use in that game. He didn't give permision for free and untethered use, rather just to be included in Debian. If you ask him nicely, maybe he'll allow it for chromium too. If you're going to put chromium in contrib, and the sound files that you can in non-free, and replace the ones that you can't, you're now halfway through one file. I also got confirmation from You're the man, now, dog! (ytmnd.com) that music_game.wav is an asset of Partners in Rhyme. I googled all of the md5sums for these files, and this is all I came up with. That, and another free project, ssc, at sscx.sourceforge.net, got their sound files from chromium. And justjuvenile.com was at one point hosting chromium files. Seriously, they were. But now they're just selling baby stuff. -Brandon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#410403: Here's a patch.
tags 410403 +patch First, I should warn you that I'm only a somewhat experienced programmer. I pecked at the code a little bit, and it seems that the code in question is never actually used. The integer that is being assigned to is only mentioned twice in the whole code, once to declare, and once to assign. Never to use. So, here's a patch to remove the offending code: -- diff gpsmap-old.cc gpsmap.cc 2245d2244 int thread_status; 2249d2247 thread_status = reinterpret_castint(tmp); -- Alternatively, if this code actually is used, such as in a future version, you can change the int to a long. As I understand reinterpret_cast, you can change from a pointer to a integral type, as long as the integral type is large enough to hold the pointer. long would work fine on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. -Brandon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#410754: Testing Works.
The version in testing (3.5.1-1) does not seem to have this bug. Neither does 3.6.0-1 (the one that is just about to get kicked out of unstable). Just thought I'd share that. Linking statically is one option. The other would be to stick with 3.6.* . Does 3.7 offer anything worth adding all of that space? -Brandon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
