Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: cdrtools license issues
* Luis Medinas [EMAIL PROTECTED] [06/09/05 04:38 +0100]: The package is in the tree and it's asking for testing before i can remove it from pkg.mask and provide the cdrtools virtual. Now, cdrkit is in the tree. Furthermore I added cdrtools-2.01.01a08 to the tree. That's the latest GPLed version of cdrtools. We never had that version in the tree (we did a move from a07 to a09), so it's ~arch currently. metalgod and I will reactivate the cdrtools-virtual, so that we can include more and other possible applications for cd-burning into portage. I heard about reactivating Freedrtools as well.

So there's isn't anything to say but we are working close to upstream and they actually offer commit access to maintainers of another distros. Cdrkit project sounds much more like an open project than cdrtools so i'll be with them. This was pretty much what happened with Xfree/Xorg. So cdrtools will be the close project and cdrkit the open project. Like i said before Gentoo joined this new project. Now the license problems are fixed and we can ship this on our portage tree tarballs for our new releases etc... cmake for a C program is a BIG shortsight. lu -- Luca Barbato Gentoo/linux Gentoo/PPC http://dev.gentoo.org/~lu_zero -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

About the debian fork we will take a look at it and see where's going. Read the Debian bug. Jörg Schilling is badmouthing Debian developers and tells everyone that they should _believe_him_ that the CDDL is compatible with the GPL, while no one else thinks so. It is unlikely that the overly self-convinced Jörg Schilling will change his mind. I'd be surprised, if the situation will be fixed upstream. Carsten pgpI0iLWWx8Lz.pgp Description: PGP signature
