Tomasz W dniu 2012-06-11 17:27, Marvin Cohrs pisze: Hi everygnu, I'm checking the project 'Machafuco' and wondered about the following issue: The program itself is correctly commented with GPL3+ headers, but it also carries some HTML files which seem to be concatenated at runtime. They don't contain such a header. The footer file includes a short line about CC-BY-NC, but all the other parts don't (most are longer than 10 lines). Is this sufficient? The runtime output will contain that line, but the source files don't. What shall I answer? Thank you for your advice! Yes, if the author is using multiple licenses it needs to be clearly stated. CC-BY-NC is OK for docs, such as html, though I'd recommend not using the NC component of it, since the GPL allows for commercial usage. It's worth noting that the CC-BY-* licenses are GPL incompatible if any code is using it (html is not compiled code, so that's ok)
Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] Copyright+License Headers in concatenated HTML files
On 6/11/12 5:04 PM, Karl Berry wrote: CC-BY-NC is OK for docs Michael, I don't believe that is correct, for the reason you point out: NC is no commercial, which is nonfree, hence must not be allowed on savannah under any circumstances. As a separate point, real documentation (a manual) is supposed to be released under the FDL (or compatible permissive licenses). A few html files probably don't qualify, though. It's worth noting that the CC-BY-* licenses are GPL incompatible Although I don't believe it's ever been officially determined, I personally believe CC-BY itself is compatible with the GPL, because it only requires attribution, that is, is a permissive license. You were probably knowingly excluding that with BY-* instead of BY* :), but just for putative clarity :). It's the SA (sharealike) versions which are copylefts and hence incompatible with the GPL (another copyleft). And, as discussed, the NC (and ND) versions are nonfree and shouldn't be used in savannah-hosted projects. Aside from all of the above, I agree with the point about it always being better to include a license statement in the source files, for clarity. karl Indeed, I stand corrected.

Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] volunteering
Hi, Thanks for your interesting in helping out. :) On 1/28/12 6:53 AM, Brandon Invergo wrote: Hello Savannah Hackers, I've been wanting to help out with the GNU project for a while now but I've been unsure of where to help. I assume that Savannah still needs help, despite the resurrection back in November. Of course, I understand that this would mostly entail reviewing project submissions, so, as instructed, I've included what my response to a submission (#11765 CDEsql) below. The review looks fine. For future reference, we have two scripts to assist with project review response crafting. http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/administration.git/tree/approvals One for emacs and one for vim. However, what I would be more interested in doing, if you guys approve, would be to help clean out old, inactive things. In particular, the Help Wanted area has posts going back a decade. I think it's safe to assume that many of those requests may be considered closed and removed at this point. Another, possibly touchier subject, would be to flag old, inactive and incomplete projects for removal. For both cases, I've written a suggested protocol below. Let's focus on the help wanted area. There's already a support request, https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106581, which we can use to discuss the issue (feel free to post your ideas there). I agree, having open help wanted items from 2001 just isn't helpful. This isn't so much about space, which I'm sure isn't a huge problem. It's that, for me, as a visitor to Savannah, when I saw the Help Wanted area full of old posts and many of the projects apparently abandoned, it made the site feel a bit stale or inactive. I think cleaning out some of the cobwebs wouldn't hurt... This would require a lot more care and attention. First of all, only projects which have been inactive for at least X years (3? 5?) would be considered. In all cases, the project would not be immediately deleted. Instead, it would be flagged for review by another admin, and then we would attempt to contact the project owner to verify that the project is abandoned. It's important not to be overly zealous with this since even inactive projects can be of value to people starting new projects. Some rules for deciding to flag a project for removal (again, only after it's been inactive for X years): - no source code has been uploaded - it's determined that project activity is occurring on a different hosting service - development status 2(?) That's an interesting idea. Some projects only use Savannah for webhosting though, so they have no uploaded code. I think it's better to focus on cleaning up the old help wanted posts first. What's your username on Savannah, is it brandon?

Getting a log with -Dhpss will tell you more.

[Savannah-hackers-public] Fwd: BerliOS will be closed on 31.12.2011
BerliOS is closing... Original Message Subject: BerliOS will be closed on 31.12.2011 Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2011 16:53:24 +0200 (CEST) From: ad...@berlios.de To: ad...@berlios.de Dear BerliOS developers and users, BerliOS was founded 10 years ago as one of the first repositories in Europe. It was developed and maintained by Fraunhofer FOKUS. As an European, non-proprietary project BerliOS pursued the goal to support the various open-source players and provide a neutral mediator function. In 2011 over 4710 projects have been hosted on BerliOS, with 50,000 registered users and over 2.6 million file downloads each month. We are proud that with BerliOS we have brought the idea of an OSS repository to Europe. Meanwhile, the concept has prevailed and there are many good alternatives. Unfortunately, as a research institute Fraunhofer FOKUS has only few opportunities to operate a repository like BerliOS. Such a project will only work with a follow-up financing, or with sponsors or partners taking over the repository. In the field of OSS this is a difficult undertaking. In a recent survey the community indicated some support in funds and manpower which we would like to thank you for. Unfortunately, the result is not enough to put the project on a sustainable financial basis. In addition the search for sponsors or partners was unsuccessful. Open Source is understood by Fraunhofer FOKUS as a paradigm for future-oriented intelligent use of IT. It hurts us all the more that we are forced to discontinue the hosting for BerliOS by 31.12.2011. * As a developer, you should export your BerliOS project into another repository. Alternatives see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open_source_software_hosting_facilities * On our site you will find a guide on how to get your project data out of the portal and migrate it in a different platform, see http://developer.berlios.de/docman/display_doc.php?docid=2056group_id=2 Fraunhofer FOKUS has a strong commitment to open source and interoperability, and is involved in numerous successful OSS projects. The institute focuses on the development of quality standards for open source software and in particular on the technical, semantic and organizational interoperability between open source software components and between open source and closed source software. Example of our OSS activities including our management of the German Competence Center QualiPSo. We thank all who have used BerliOS over the years. Fraunhofer FOKUS www.fokus.fraunhofer.de Sehr geehrte BerliOS Entwickler und Anwender, BerliOS wurde vor 10 Jahren als eines der ersten Repositories in Europa gegründet. Es wurde von Fraunhofer FOKUS entwickelt und gepflegt. Als ein europäisches, nicht proprietäres Projekt verfolgt BerliOS das Ziel, die verschiedenen Open-Source-Akteure zu unterstützen und eine neutrale Vermittlerfunktion zu bieten. 2011 wurden 4710 Projekte auf BerliOS gehosted, mit 50.000 registrierten Nutzern und über 2,6 Millionen Dateien Downloads jeden Monat. Wir sind stolz, dass wir mit BerliOS die Idee eines OSS-Repository nach Europa gebracht haben. Mittlerweile hat sich das Konzept durchgesetzt und es gibt zahlreiche gute Alternativen. Leider hat ein Forschungsinstitut wie Fraunhofer FOKUS nur wenig Möglichkeiten, langfristig ein Repository wie BerliOS zu betreiben. Ein solches Projekt funktioniert nur, wenn es gelingt, eine Anschlussfinanzierung zu finden, bzw. Sponsoren oder Partner zu gewinnen, die das Repository übernehmen. Das ist im OSS-Bereich ein schwieriges Unterfangen. In einer kürzlich durchgeführten Umfrage haben wir zwar Unterstützung an Geldmitteln und Arbeitsleistung signalisiert bekommen, für die wir uns bedanken. Leider reicht das Ergebnis aber nicht aus, um das Projekt auf eine nachhaltige finanzielle Basis zu stellen. Auch die Suche nach Sponsoren oder Partnern war leider erfolglos. Open Source wird bei Fraunhofer FOKUS als Paradigma für zukunftsweisenden intelligenten IT-Einsatz verstanden. Es schmerzt uns deshalb um so mehr, dass wir gezwungen sind, den Betrieb von BerliOS zum 31.12.2011 einzustellen. * Als Entwickler sollten Sie Ihre BerliOS Projekte in ein anderes Repository exportieren. Alternativen siehe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open_source_software_hosting_facilities * Auf unserer Website finden Sie einen Leitfaden, wie Sie Ihre Projektdaten aus dem Portal exportieren und in einer anderen Plattform überführen können, siehe http://developer.berlios.de/docman/display_doc.php?docid=2055group_id=2 Fraunhofer FOKUS hat nach wie vor ein starkes Engagement für Open Source und Interoperabilität, engagiert sich erfolgreich in zahlreichen OSS-Projekten. Das Institut konzentriert sich auf die Entwicklung von Qualitätsstandards für Open Source Software und dabei insbesondere auf die technische, semantische und organisatorische Interoperabilität zwischen einzelnen Open Source Software

Searching for the definition of hacker on most search engines will quickly reveal the word isn't limited to unethical activities. http://catb.org/jargon/html/H/hacker.html 1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary. RFC1392, the Internet Users' Glossary, usefully amplifies this as: A person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular. 2.

I wonder about doing both the captcha and asking for year GNU was announced + today's month number. I'm a little confused, you want this on the registration page? If the captcha isn't stopping them, then I don't think also asking for the current month will either. :( Are you suggesting adding a captcha every time a new patch/bug/support item is submitted or updated? If so, I think that may get a little annoying to users. If the spammers are created by humans, but auto-spam then we'll need captchas on every form submission, which just seems cumbersome. What do you think the ideal solution is? I don't expect to completely stop spammers from signing up but I fear that it happening a day or two after the captcha means that soon there will be a flood. Wdyt? karl P.S. To get recent user ids, I've been running: echo select user_id from user where add_date1316185718; | mysql savane where the big integer is a time_t for, e.g., yesterday about this time.

(Sylvain asked me to revert an earlier commit I made.) You could of used an on/off variable for this, specified in savane.ini. I'll make a change for this, leaving it on by default. We somehow have to disentangle ourselves from upstream so we can commit changes without messing them up -- our situation is only going to get worse. There are already tons of uncommitted changes, and committed changes not live on our host. But I don't understand git anywhere near well enough to do that. Meanwhile, I'll try to figure out the sql for deleting the actual spam items. Unfortunately it seems some early follow-ups are real. karl

Hi Mario, Joe sent an email to the savannah-help-public address saying he wanted to help out. I replied to him, cc'ing the list, and we later met-up on IRC. In the past we haven't really sent out formal introductory emails when someone has started working on project applications. In fact, in the past, there hasn't always been an email sent out when Sylvain gave someone root on the dom0. This wouldn't be a bad idea in the future though, so next time someone starts an introductory email will be sent. I've been working with Joe to understand how to do project applications, at first.

Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] #savannah on irc.gnu.org
Hi Alfred, I'm going to have to agree here. It's very annoying to have all the GNU channels on one network (Freenode) and the savannah channel residing on another. Further, since irc.gnu.org points to irc.freenode.net, a lot of users login to Freenode's savannah channel with questions that often go ignored. I think since Freenode is GNU's official IRC server that we should move the channel back. Simply put, to users, I think going to irc.gnu.org #savannah should be the proper channel. Is anyone opposed to this? -- Michael Alfred M. Szmidt wrote: Hi, I find it immensly annoying that irc.gnu.org isn't hosting #savannah, while I understand Sylvain's concerns regarding TOR, it does more harm than good to have some IRC channels (specially ones as important as #savannah, which has been invaluable when shit hits the fan) on random servers. If freenode for whatever reason cannot support our needs, then maybe we should switch. But I think that #savannah should exist, and be active when you connect to irc.gnu.org. Cheers, Alfred

Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] randy kobes passed away - ftpmirror redirector
Currently the list is hosted on the download vm with the mirror list
here: /usr/local/share/GeoIP/gnu-ftpmirror.txt, as you've already found.
I'll write a script to update the mirror daily (later tonight, I hope.)
One problem here is that the Apache2::Geo::Mirror module only loads
the mirror list upon initialization of Apache, so every time the
list is updated, apache would need restarted, which I'd like to avoid.
I think the most sane thing to do here is subclass Apache2::Geo::Mirror
and add a simple feature that checks the last modified time of the
/usr/local/share/GeoIP/gnu-ftpmirror.txt file; if it changes, reload the
file.

Hi Michael,
Ok, this is testable now on http://gnu-ftpmirror.savannah.gnu.org
Wow, incredibly quick work, thanks.
It works fine for me too, right now.
Did you set up some method for updating it, though? I did not see
anything new in the cron jobs, but I certainly could have missed it.
The mirror list changes all the time (e.g., today the artfiles.org url
changed from what I see in /usr/local/share/GeoIP/gnu-ftpmirror.txt).
Randy's redirector worked off the mirmon installed at
http://gnu-mirmon.basemirror.de (by other volunteers). You can get that
mirmon status file from http://gnu-mirmon.basemirror.de/status.txt, also
to be fed into /usr/local/bin/mirmon2geoip.pl.
Then there's the matter of also getting the mirmon conf file for
mirmon2geoip. The ultimate source is gnu.org/prep/FTP (or ftp.html).
The basemirror guys (contact info at the end of
/gd/gnuorg/web/FTP.contacts, I am hesitant to post email addresses
publicly) wrote another script to massage that into the mirmon conf
format. We could also run that script, or (my preference, to ensure
that the mirmon data and site list are in sync) just get their resulting
file.
Unfortunately the script is written in an unreadable (to me anyway)
style, but here it is FWIW.

Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] Stepping Down of Savannah Maintenance
Sylvain, I'd love for you to stay, if you decide to change your mind... In the case that you actually want to stay away from the project, I'll devote more time to sysadmin'ing Savannah and step in where you left off. I've been getting back into the groove of getting back-end support requests done anyways. Hope all is well, Michael Sylvain Beucler wrote: Hi, I hereby step down from my unofficial position of Savannah maintainer. I've been contributing for 7 years and now I feel the need to look for new challenges. The system architecture is documented at: http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/SavannahArchitecture and the up-to-date core config files can be found at: bzr branch bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/administration I'll be reasonably available to answer questions people have on the system when the above documentation is not enough. Cheers!

Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] FSF fundraising widget
On 12/14/2010 12:51 PM, John Sullivan wrote: Savannah hackers, In previous years (last year IIRC), Savannah has displayed the FSF fundraising widget for the months of December and January, to promote our appeal and help raise resources -- some of which are of course spent on equipment and staff resources related to Savannah. Can you do that again? The widget code is at https://my.fsf.org/associate/widget/. The slim version for use in the sidebar might be the best choice. Thanks, Hi John, I added this to Savannah's left menu. Feel free to comment if you don't like its position or have any other concerns. Thanks, Michael J. Flickinger

Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] Accessing savannah
