Re: Providing a non-free alternative to a free package
How about doing it like it's done with the unrar package: According to packages.debian.org there are two pkgs. unrar unrar-free So I'd suggest name the free one slalib and the other one slalib-nonfree or vice versa (like the unrar example). Cheers, Björn 2012/2/8 Olе Streicher debian-de...@liska.ath.cx: Hi, the library I am working on in the moment (slalib, http://bugs.debian.org/659003) is an quite old Fortran library with a C interface and some (performance) drawbacks. This library is GPL and meets the DFSG guidelines. There is another version of this library available, where the (C) sources are available (and put under GPL), but obfuscated, so that they cannot go into main but would have to go into non-free. However, I am thinking about packaging this version as well. However, there would be a conflict for the library names. How would one solve this?

Re: RFS: policyd-weight
Hi everybody I've received an email from Thomas. He proposed that it would make sense to have not only one sponsor for my package but maybe two So if one is busy the other one can do the sponsoring. Thomas had no time to upload my package which I've uploaded on Januar 24th. But he suggested to ask on the mentors list for a second sponsor :) So I'm asking the list if any DD could sponsor this upload for me?

You can still add a target in your debian/rules file to avoid doing it too many times :). See [1] for explanation for example about get-orig-source target. I read it a again, and it could useful for an other package: does someone know Debian packages using get-orig-source in d/rules ?

A license like MIT or Expat or another free non-copyleft license would work. However, as it is now, Debian cannot comply with the license terms to distribute the work at all, so it cannot go even into non-free. Is slalib the contents of libraries/sla/ in the repository you linked to? If so, it appears the current upstream is not the sole copyright holder, and there are many other contributors dating from 2004 for sla, and 1989 for the project as a whole (counting only versioned history). This means, it is illegal to distribute the obfuscated version for anyone (including current upstream), and anyone who buys the unobfuscated one can pass it further under GPL.

Re: creating an orig.tar.gz from a CVS
Hi Jerome, does someone know Debian packages using get-orig-source in d/rules ? For example you can look at my package: https://github.com/tehnick/libterm-shellui-perl-debian/blob/master/debian/rules Nothing difficult. You can add any script or list of commands to get-orig-source section of makefile.
