Hi Bas,

unfortunately I have to reject your package.
Upstream is mixing GPL-2 with GPL-3+ code:
 src/modules/imagery/imagery_classification/cluster_isodata.cpp

According to the compatibility matrix in http://gplv3.fsf.org/dd3-faq 
this is not allowed. 

So maybe you can ask upstream to relicense some stuff ...

In your debian/copyright you have the following entry:

 Copyright: 2008, Maxence Laurent, MIS-TIC, HEIG-VD

 Files: src/plugins/dxf2shp_converter/getInsertions.cpp

The second license header of getInsertions.cpp states it is GPLv2 only, so the 
whole thing seems to be licensed under GPLv2.

Unfortunately you can not mix GPLv2 and GPLv3 software.

Further you have

Bug#746955: it is not possible to build a serial version anymore

2014-05-04 Thread Thorsten Alteholz

Package: libhdf5-dev
Version: 1.8.12+docs-1.1
Severity: important
User: alteh...@debian.org
thanks

Dear Maintainer,

some time ago there was a package libhdf5-serial-dev that I could use to 
build a serial version of package meep.
Nowadays this package was replaced by libhdf5-dev and the description 
still says:

 This package contains development files for serial platforms.


Unfortunately there are these lines in /usr/include/H5pubconf.h
  /* Define if we have parallel support */
  #define H5_HAVE_PARALLEL 1
which result in an error in /usr/include/H5public.h
  #ifdef H5_HAVE_PARALLEL
  #   define MPICH_SKIP_MPICXX 1
  #   define OMPI_SKIP_MPICXX 1
  #   include mpi.h
  #ifndef MPI_FILE_NULL   /*MPIO may be defined in mpi.h already */
  #   include mpio.h
  #endif
  #endif
as there is no mpi.h available in a serial environment.

So is this a bug or a feature and serial versions are no longer supported?

Thanks!

Hi Bas,

On Sat, 4 Jan 2014, Sebastiaan Couwenberg wrote:

To my best understanding only the OGC Standards documents fall under the
OGC Document Notice.

http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/document

Schemas and software are covered by the OGC Software Notice.

http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/software


Ok, the first paragraph of the Software Notice says:
  By obtaining, using and/or copying this work, you (the licensee) agree
  that you have read, understood, and will comply with the following terms
  and conditions.
So in my understanding the enduser has to accept the conditions of this 
notice before he gets the work (By obtaining (...) this work you agree 
that you have read, (...) and will comply (...)). I guess this is not 
possible with Debians package management.
At least he needs to comply when he uses it. I haven't looked that 
deeply at your package, but does it tell the user about this?




5.10 Is a schema or document definition (DTD) covered by the document
or software terms?

Schemas (and DTDs) are frequently part of our specifications and
seemingly fall under the document copyright terms [2]. However, as
long as you do not use the same formal namespace or public identifier
to identify that modified OGC schema/DTD (which might confuse
applications), you may treat the schema/DTD under the software terms.
[3] This means that you are permitted to make a derivative or modified
OGC schema/DTD, but even under the software terms [3] you are
obligated to include/retain the OGC copyright notice. We further
appreciate a couple sentences regarding who made the modifications,
when, and what changes were made in the original DTD -- a common
software documentation practice.

We expect to revisit this topic as metadata schemas become an
increasingly important part of OGC specifications and as the metadata
schema definition capabilities of XML and other XML technologies
advance.

http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/legalfaq#DTD


Ok, if this entry of the FAQ is really part of the license, I see another 
problem. The first sentence says that schemas are covered by the Document 
Notice (= no modifications allowed = non-free). Only if you use a 
different namespace, you may apply the Software Notice and do 
modifications. I think this is against DFSG#3 and not covered by the 
compromise in DFSG#4.



The WFS tests are not explicitly mentioned as falling under the OGC
Software Notice. So it can be argued that because they are conformance
tests for the OGC Standards that OGC doesn't allow their modification.

On the other hand the conformance tests are intended to be included in
OGC compliant open source software, which is the reason for the more
liberal OGC Software Notice.


We could speculate about this, but I think a clear statement from OGC is 
needed here.



Do you consider the OGC Sofware Notice used in this change to comply
with the DFSG?


I would say no, but the opinion of other ftpmasters is very welcome :-).

tinyows_1.1.0-3_amd64.changes REJECTED

2014-01-04 Thread Thorsten Alteholz

Dear Maintainer,

unfortunately I have to reject your package.

I am afraid that files under the OGC license are not allowed to enter main.
Especially the paragraph:
 No right to create modifications or derivatives of OGC documents is granted

 
 pursuant to this license. However, if additional requirements (documented  

 
 in the Copyright FAQ) are satisfied, the right to create modifications or  

 
 derivatives is sometimes granted by the OGC to individuals complying with  

 
 those requirements. 
does not comply with DFSG.

So maybe you can move all OGC files to a non-free package? (Of course no
package in main may depend on it ...)

Please feel free to respond to this email if you don't understand why
your files were rejected, or if you upload new files which address our
concerns.

[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#525176: Bad path to colormap directory

2009-04-22 Thread Thorsten Alteholz

Package: h5utils
Version: 1.10-7.1

When I invoke h5topng, I got the following error:
  $ h5topng simple-eps-00.00.h5
  Could not find colormap gray

When I do it with strace, I get the following output:
(...)
getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK, {rlim_cur=8192*1024, rlim_max=RLIM_INFINITY}) = 0
uname({sys=Linux, node=sid-vm, ...}) = 0
brk(0)  = 0x9b23000
brk(0x9b44000)  = 0x9b44000
open(${prefix}/share/h5utils/colormaps/gray, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)

open(gray, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE)  = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, Could not find colormap \gray\\n, 31Could not find colormap 
gray) = 31
exit_group(1)   = ?

So the first open() call looks a bit wrong ...

  Thorsten
