Greetings,
I've (finally) begun the arduous task of auditing the copyright(s)/
license(s) in OpenCASCADE. Based on the number of files and
directories, this is bound to take a ton of time, so I'd appreciate some
help! I've also solicited help on the OpenCASCADE forum, where I've
been discussing this with the Gentoo packagers.
Hi Adam,
I worked with Aurélien Jarno on an Opencascade Debian package a couple of
years ago,
here is the debian/copyright file that I did write after a full license
audit of
OpenCascade 6.1, I later checked files newly added to 6.2 and did not find
any new
problem. Hope this helps.
Wow, thanks very much, this helps tremendously! I will reformat this in
the proposed copyright format, and hope to have something uploadable (to
non-free) soon!
Given that this cuts an enormous amount of time off package development,
I will convert the .tar.bz2 file to .tar.gz for -8, in order to target
this to lenny.
I'm uploading 6.2-2 to http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/opencascade/ . I
consider this a beta test before uploading -3 to NEW, so please look
it over and try it out! The copyright and README.Debian.html files
should be complete now.
My last to-do before -3 will be to add -release flags to LDFLAGS in
Makefile.?m to do library versioning, which will get rid of the biggest
remaining lintian warning. (After that, only missing man pages remain.)
I also want to split the package using Jason Kraftcheck's scripts, but
won't have time for a while; perhaps it'll get done by the time Debian
rejects this version. :-)
Big thanks to Denis Barbier for the old copyright file, and to him and
Aurélien Jarno for actually doing the audit! We just may see
OpenCASCADE in lenny...
Cheers,
-Adam
