#6930 shipped activities need to be audited for licensing information

2008-09-08 Thread Daniel Drake
Does anyone have advice on how to deal with this blocking ticket?

Some questions I would have:
 - which activities do we ship?
 - do we *require* or just encourage that such activities add COPYING 
   files before 8.2 is released?
 - where do we document the procedure for new activities to ensure 
   licensing information is clear?

Thanks,
Daniel

In Browse, clicking activities  finding activities from the OLPC 
Library main page links to an Activity and Library Bundles web page 
from November 2007 in /usr/share/activities/bundle-archive/ that still 
offers links to the following installable activity bundles in its 
bundles subdirectory:

   Analyze-5.xo  (in Joyride Software update)
   Gmail-2.xo
   Implode-2.xo  (now at v4 according to Activities wiki page)
   LogViewer-6.xo(at v14 now, in Joyride Software update)
   Poll-16.xo(at v17 now)
   Simcity-4.xo  (in Joyride Software update)
   SliderPuzzle-3.xo (at v5 now)
   StopWatchActivity-1.xo
   Terminal-9.xo (at v 15 now, in Joyride Software update)
   wikihow-4.xol (not an activity, I'm not sure if it's out-of-date)

In addition, bundle-archive/bundles also contains
   JigsawPuzzle-1_20071030.xo (at v3 now)

This is the case in 8.2-759 on my upgraded XO.  These files are also in
xo-1-olpc-stream-joyride-build-2338-20080825_2034-devel_ext3-tree that I 
unpacked.

* Trac bug #8029 is that these old activities should be removed (sj 
marked it fixed).
* There's also bug #8145 that the Activity and Library Bundles 
document links to the wrong release notes (marked fixed, but it isn't).
* Also bug #7898 the Activity and Library Bundles document links to an 
poorly-formatted sugar-handbook.pdf.

I don't fully understand how these files appear in Browse, git, or the 
build, I apologize if I'm missing something.
Weeding out stuff that seems out-of-date is good gardening practice.
