[opensuse-packaging] GPL file location
Hi All, I have to add GPL_v2 file to my package and I have the text file. I want to know where this files will go in the package and what are changes needed to spec file. Any reference sample package to look?

What's the package? Is the GPL not already provided in the source (it's often called COPYING). If it's not already provided, do you have the right to include a license yourself? Once you're sure you have the right answer to those questions, it'll go in /usr/share/doc/packages/%{name}. If it's included as COPYING a line in the %files section of the spec file like this will do it: %doc COPYING -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org http://usr-local-bin.org GNOME for openSUSE: http://software.opensuse.org/download/GNOME:/ Help end poverty: http://oxfam.org.uk/in --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

orarun. No, It doesn't contain GPL file and that's why I have been asked to add GPV_v2 licence.
Once you're sure you have the right answer to those questions, it'll go in /usr/share/doc/packages/%{name}. If it's included as COPYING a line in the %files section of the spec file like this will do it:
%doc COPYING

another solution that doesn't bloat your package is to symlink it from the licenses package.

Will this be part of the base system or will each package have to require the licenses package?

My understanding is that this will be somehow automated and the licenses package will be in the base system patter.

Thanks you all. I prefer this solution vs copying same licences file by each packages. I will wait for this solution :-) Can SUSE folks comment in bug# 277737 as acceptable solution with little bit step-by-step instructions? -Arun --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

No, because this bug is closed for our (at least my) eyes.

Sorry! It seems bugzilla is having access issue ( Bug is secure. Only Novell employees, and designated partner groups can access this bug). You all SUSE folks should have access but anyway I have added you all to CC. Please feel free to suggest best way to implement across all the packages. -Arun --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Legal bugs are completly closed, and opend individually on a need to know basis. Arun, adding Richard et al. to CC was 100% correct here. Thanks.
