I'm in doubt, when the old config exist, if set dpkg to copy the old config from old location to the new one or if I just print/show up a message to users notifying about path update requirement.

On 05.03.24 22:15, Alan M Varghese wrote: Soren, ... but it is also perfectly fine to ship them in the same file. I think what Wookey is referring to is that GPL and LGPL licenses contain a line that says something like: 'Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.' I believe this copyright refers to the text of the license itself. Hence, it might not be a good idea to include a second copyright in this same file. So, including the copyright and license in the same file can work for licenses like MIT, BSD etc which does not mention a copyright of its own, and not for GPL-like licenses which includes a copyright line as part of the license. Anyways, upstream author has added a new file called "COPYRIGHT" in the root of the project[1] that mentions the copyright years, owner and the license used. Based on all our discussion so far, I understand this should be acceptable for our purposes in Debian.

Yes, there must be a copyright statement. Only the person, people, group, or organization that holds the copyright can issue a license for other people to use the work. So, you must have someone claiming a copyright or they do not have the legal ability to release the work to others under the LGPL. But what requires that to be in the source tarball? Copyright is intrinsic in the authors, it doesn't require a statement to create it. Said authors _do_ need to specify a licence (and the LGPL requires that licence text to be shipped in the source (I think, although I could only actually find this requirement for a 'Combined work' and in the FAQ just now)). _Debian_ requires a copyright statement (in the copyright file) so we do need to find out from the project what to put, and a statement in the source would be a good way to communicate that, but a notice on the project website or even an email from a representative would also do the job. That is correct. There must be a copyright statement or the license information is not legally valid (because only someone who claims copyright can issue a license). However, it doesn’t expressly need to be in the tarball (see below). That part is simply best practice, because it maintain the copyright information if the project is forked or upstream disappears, which otherwise can be difficult to determine if it was only on a website that is now defunct or in an email sent to a Debian developer who is no longer participating in the project. So, there is a distinction between what is the minimum legal requirement and what is best practice. My recommendation would be that you communicate to the upstream project that they need to include the copyright and licensing information in the root of their repository, preferably all in one file, as a minimum requirement for you to be willing to package their project in Debian. I don't think this is correct. And we should be happy to package anything which is actually free software. We don't get to impose extra requirements before we will package something. As pointed out above, there is a distinction between what is the minimum requirement for packaging in Debian and best practice. I carefully worded point 2 in my original email to state that, if **I** were packaging this software, I would communicate with upstream that if they wanted **me** to package their software in Debian, my minimum requirement would be that they explicitly state the copyright information in the source code. Originally I had a point 3, which I deleted before sending the email, explaining that my personal preference for when I would be willing to package software is higher than Debian’s requirement, and that a website notation or email communication of copyright has been used in some packages in the past, but with the downside described above. I took out point 3 because I felt it muddied the waters, but since the point has been brought up, it is worth discussing. They should put a copy of the LGPL in (in a file called 'COPYING' or 'LICENCE' by convention) (if this isn't done already). A copyright notice for the project should _not_ go in the same file (The LGPL already has one for the LGPL authorship itself, so this is probably the only file in the distribution which should definitiely _not_ have the project copyright notice). It should ideally be a header on at least one source file, (preferably all of them), but could be any README, or even just a notice on the project website, or an email saying ' I must disagree with you on this point.

Re: what creates a Packages{,.gz} etc. file ?
I have a question related to this one as well. Is there an automated tool/method
to generate an override file from a directory of debs? I would prefer to use a
tool to build the bulk of the file initially.
If a tool does not exist, (dpkg-distaddfile is close) and if you (debian
community) believe it would be useful, I could create it.
Let me know, thanks!

Related to this, I have a question also.
One friend has a new hard drive and wants to copy his 3 unofficial potato
CDs into it, and make them aptable. So I copied the CDs on a
debian/dist/{m,c,n-f,n-u} tree and I guess I only need to run
dpkg-scanpackages on each directory to generate the Packages files. The

necessary?
An example would be the best help.
