afio -> home:flacco ipcalc -> home:flacco These both packages are kicked of the openSUSE OSS Repos in the newer past. Get them back into the Distribution wood be nice. I investigated a bit on these two. afio was dropped and it has a questionable license, check the wikipedia article. I would not want to take it back into Factory. At the Conference i talked to Jürgen Weigert about this problem. That's what he told me about afio (Sorry it's in german):
"Hi Stefan! Ich habs mal eben nachgeschlagen. Afio wurde aus rein technischen Gründen von der Distribution genommen. Die rechtliche Seite ginge klar. 14.03.05, denicolo: Packages licenses have been checked and approved. Einmal scheint die Non-commercial Klausel sehr schwach. Zum Zweiten hatten wir 1998 den damaligen Upstream Koen Holtman direkt auf diese Klausel angesprochen und seine Zustimmung eingeholt. 2008-08-15radmanic@novell.com it's completely outdated, lacks specific features like ACL support and is unmaintained since 2003, we should drop this package! 2009-05-20mt@novell.com Changed status to dropped Approved by:ro@novell.com D.h. wir hatten schlicht niemand mehr, der es maintained. Einfache Lösung: mach einen submitrequest und schlage Dich gleich selbst als Maintainer vor. $ osc submitpac home:flacco afio openSUSE:Factory -m "I use the package, I'll maintain it." cheers, JW-"
I attached a patch that patches afio out of bin/alldump in Invis, that seems the only place where its used. afio has the advantage over other programs to compress before archiving, I simulated that by first bzip2'ing all dumps and archive them via tar later.
Is that acceptable? afio is a very good tool an i wish it back, but i test your patch. regards,
Klaas
