Package: grass Version: 6.4.0~rc6+42329-1 Severity: normal Hi,
as discussed on the DebianGIS mailing list, in the wxGUI Help -> About GRASS window the Authors, COPYING, etc. files are missing. I believe this is because the debian grass package copies over the dirs in $GISBASE/ that it needs, and the grass-doc package copies over the dirs there that it needs, but nothing collects the text files left there. suggestions: - either symlink GPL.TXT into /usr/lib/grass/, or patch "licfile" in wxgui.py line 1659 to look for /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL - copy grass's COPYING file into /usr/lib/grass/ (this is a custom file, not the generic GNU version) - copy AUTHORS into /usr/lib/grass/ - copy all other regular files in the main dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/ build dir (CHANGES, REQUIREMENTS.html, contributors.csv, translators.csv) to /usr/share/doc/grass/. n.b. in grass 6.5+ the contributors.csv and translators.csv files will be sourced from gui/wxpython/gui_modules/ghelp.py, so maybe it is worth putting them in /usr/lib/grass/ now to avoid work later? thanks, Hamish _______________________________________________ Pkg-grass-devel mailing list Pkg-grass-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-grass-devel
