Hello, ... You mentioned an interesting point: Licenses used just for one package. IMHO it's pointless to move them to the licenses package because you can't save any space - you only can waste it if the package with that license isn't installed.
I'd propose to put only licenses that are used at least by 10 packages in the licenses package. This solves several problems: - the non-existing space saving effect I mentioned above - the risk of having to keep old licenses (as mentioned by Robert) just to stay backward-compatible is reduced (because at least some of the packages will still be using it ;-) - the licenses package would be smaller - no need to split it
Actually *all* licenses are in one package, so moving a license file from one to another isn't *space wasting* :) rpm -ql licenses | grep /usr/share/doc/licenses/md5/ | wc -l 263 Your proposal including a license in licenses.rpm seems to be interesting, however it doesn't solve *space wasting* because there is no such issue. We should, of course, include only licenses, that are in use. Backward compatibility should be considered only for already released RPMs for one product. (I think this might be a bit tricky if not handled correctly). Have a nice... whatever :) Lukas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGrPmcVSqMdRCqTiwRAmCEAJ0cuzTS3uqiknL+9Y5+AiLVCWEAoACbBEH4 xSjdK0qREwQ/qXjbogV9mPo= =nyNm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
