[opensuse-packaging] addressing multi license issues
Hi, As the new maintainer of the sawfish and its related packages, I am doing some cleanup so they can be in Factory. Sawfish has two licenses one which is GPL-2.0+ and the other one is Artistic-2.0 for the sounds that comes with sawfish. What is the best approach in this situation as part of my mind says separate the sound files as a sub-package with its' own license while on the other hand keeping them in one rpm is also logical and if this is the approach to go how the license line is defined in the spec License: GPL-2.0+ and Artistic-2.0 License: GPL-2.0+ or Artistic-2.0 Also speaking of the licenses, rpmlint complains about the incorrect fsf address. I have send the patches regarding the address change to upstream can those patches also be included in the spec to correct the issue on packaging as well Thanks Togan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Wouldn't splitting the sounds also let you set the sounds package as noarch? That seems to be another benefit to doing it that way, since it would be one less (probably large) package to store and distribute. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
