Re: [opensuse-packaging] What is supposed to be in the License: field

Good. So this licensecheck is correct.

Ah, cool. I meanwhile found another copy in openSUSE:11.4 deb
The default_check_regex differs, but not much.

Please tell me the submit request number, and I'll look into it.
I suspect that it's due to the comment I put before the license field that
upset the tool.
"# "Other uncritical OpenSource License" is no longer allowed in the License
field."
No, comments do not make any difference.

The request was sr#68588 and the new one with the extra 0x0D between the
comment and the license field is sr#68822.
Thanks for the numbers.

You apparenly have a number of subpackages there, that still use
that language.

... like slv2 which was submitted end of Jan. this year and is still being
tossed around
like a hot potato for a reason still unknown to me. ...

No idea. I have no auto-rejects logged for slv2.

... I'm fixing the openCOLLADA library package with a switch to
cmake and preparing the blender-2.57b release package. I still have
lillypond my other difficult package, which is just about to
release, to contend with and a pulse audio bug which has hit my
system.

-> would get legal auto approve for Factory as they currently are.

Not your fault, excuse my moaning, the license check is still new
but will eventually result in easier package maintenance. I see
packages that don't follow rules everyday but I don't have the time
to fix so I have to resist the temptation to touch them.

I'd like to add the legal auto logic to rpmlint as warnings, so that we can
see them earlier. How about that?

cheers,
