Re: [Fink-devel] new field in .info files

2003-01-17 Thread David R. Morrison
In a discussion on #fink today, we arrived at the following plan.  A
non-opensource license would either be labeled

  License: Restrictive

(as done currently), or

  License: Restrictive/Distributable

The second one would be used when it is OK for Fink to distribute a binary,
even though the license has some restrictions.

Comments?

[Fink-devel] new field in .info files

2003-01-16 Thread David R. Morrison
With an eye towards constructing an automated build system for the binary
distribution one of these days, I'd like to propose a new field for fink
.info files:

BinaryDistribution: True/False or Yes/No

This field would only be consulted if the package is labeled

License: Restrictive

and in that case, it would indicate whether or not the package should be
part of the binary distribution.

Right now, this has to be done by hand and it is one of the things obstructing
automation.

Comments?

Sounds good. I would go for True/False and default to False.

Wow! Automatic distribution building. Sounds Great!

Very minor nitpick: How about BinaryDistributionAllowed or Permitted?
It's a little vague without explanation (eg it might mean 'exists').

OK, suppose we just introduce the license category Distributible, and in
the docs explain that Distributible covers non-open source licenses which
allow Fink to distribute binaries.
