[Bug 226328] New: tangerine installs private and precompiled copies of several DLLs
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=226328 Summary: tangerine installs private and precompiled copies of several DLLs Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: qa@suse.de tangerine installs a private copy of a library that also exists separately: log4net.dll, package log4net. You might want to use the system-wide copy instead, if possible. Furthermore, it installs precompiled copies of several other DLLs: deps/Nini.dll plugins/file/db4o.dll You might want to consider creating packages for these instead of shipping them inside another package, or at least rebuild them from source. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=226328 ------- Comment #1 from andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de 2006-12-05 19:38 MST ------- In fact, I cannot find the sources of Nini.dll (MIT/X11) and db4o.dll (GPL) anywhere in the distribution. Please fix this! log4net.dll is probably Apache 2.0 licensed, but the word "probably" is exactly the problem because the user cannot know the license because different versions of log4net have different licenses. Should be fixed as well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Should we mark this package as internal only for now? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=226328 ------- Comment #7 from jw@novell.com 2007-01-30 10:59 MST ------- I have found sources to the three dll's: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/nini/Nini-1.1.0.zip?download http://www.db4o.com/community/qdownload.aspx?file=mono.tar.gz http://cvs.apache.org/dist/incubator/log4net/1.2.10/incubating-log4net-1.2.1... The GPL requires us to either ship the full sources with the binaries or point to the sources in such a way that end users can rebuild the binaries. The sources shall be the exact sources (correct version, correct patch set) and shall include scripts used to build. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

The other GPL matches are for files generated for building. By way of comparison, there are 78 matches for LGPL. Of course, the effect of the GPL is to make the entire derivative work created by combining the GPL files with the non-GPL files licenseable under the GPL. It simply seems a little strange that 3 GPL files are added (two of them as plugins) to an otherwise predominantly LGPL package. But, like I said, this doesn't pose any problem, legally. The lack of sources, on the other hand, does (comment #7) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
