[cl-debian] [ITR] templates://gcl/{in.gcl.templates}
by Christian Perrier 16 Dec '07

16 Dec '07

Dear Debian maintainer, The Debian internationalisation team and the Debian English localisation team will soon begin the review of the debconf templates used in gcl. This review takes place for all packages that use debconf to interact with users and its aims are: - to improve the use of English in all debconf templates; - to make the wording of debconf templates more consistent; - to encourage more translations of templates. Even if your first language is English, this process is likely to help track down typos or errors, and improve consistency between the debconf templates of your package and that of other packages in the distribution. The process involves both debian-l10n-english contributors and Debian translators. The details of the process are given in http://wiki.debian.org/I18n/SmithDebconfReviewProcess. I will act as the coordinator of this activity for gcl. The first step of the process is to review the debconf source template file(s) of gcl. This review will start on Monday, December 03, 2007, or as soon as you acknowledge this mail with an agreement for us to carry out this process. All parts of the process will be carried out in close collaboration with you, and, unless you explicitely ask for it, no upload nor NMU will happen for gcl. If you approve this process, please let us know by replying to this mail. If some work in progress on your side would conflict with such a rewrite (such as adding or removing debconf templates), please say so, and we will defer the review to later in the development cycle. Thank you for your attention. --

[cl-debian] cl-rfc2109: requesting comments
by Luca Capello 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Hello all! Please Cc: me, I'm not subscribed to the list. Moreover, please keep at least the bug entry cc:ed, so people don't need to search in other locations. I need some legal advices about one of my packages, rfc2109 [1][2]. The main problem is that rfc2109.lisp contains verbatim parts of RFC2109, RFC2068 and the Netscape cookie spec, documents that are not free per the DFSG. When I removed them [2], I forgot the parts in the function descriptions, thus the package was rejected. Soon after the rejection, upstream committed a sed script [3] to easily remove the same RFC parts I removed (thus not the ones in the function descriptions). I find upstream solution (which replaces the RFC parts with empty lines) better than mine because it doesn't change line numbers and avoids conflicts when pulling from upstream. The latter, however, means that every time I pull from upstream, I need to re-apply the sed script (just a minor annoyance). However as already written, upstream solution, as mine, suffers the RFC parts in the function descriptions. Back in October 2006, Pierre Thierry asked if these parts could be allowed even if not-free [4], but no one answered him. Since I'm not a license nor an RFC expert, here I am :-) Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca Footnotes: [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=359348 [2] http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org/repository/lcapello/ [2] Thu Jul 20 23:04:07 CEST 2006 Luca Capello <luca(a)pca.it> * remove the non-DFSG documents from rfc2109.lisp 20060720210407-f6b0c-b84ff59374546e09173fadd6ec1b249db30b6fd2.gz [3] Wed Aug 9 21:58:18 CEST 2006 Alan Shields <patches(a)alan.shields.name> * easily strip RFC from rfc2109 for copyright concerns 20060809195818-df180-565dcf76a4cfffa29341ff033cbe3bb4362ab878.gz [4] http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/cl-debian/2006-October/001957.html
