[opensuse-packaging] dropping licenses
Hi, The licenses package is 300KB on the live cd and the only files linked into are gpl licenses - in addition it's very unclear if links to licenses are really ok. So I submitted a fix for all packages in factory I could find using licenses - for some I had to include a license. The licenses package will soon disappear, so please review and forward the requests.

This is a good move. My apologies for creating the package in the first place. It is a) hard to maintain, b) causes packages to no longer come with their licenses. Both effects are unfavorable. The intended space saving never payed off. cheers, JW- -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de back to ascii! __/ _---|____________/ \ | 0911 74053-508 __/ (____/ /\ (/) | _____________________________/ _/ _ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) SuSE.

Current state of factory: nothing provides licenses needed by libpano13-1-2.9.14-7.11 nothing provides licenses needed by lxdm-conf-0.2.0+svn727-7.3 nothing provides licenses needed by nagios-plugins-nis-1.2-10.1 nothing provides licenses needed by nagios-plugins-rsync-1.02-11.1 nothing provides licenses needed by twinkle-1.4.2-11.3 nothing provides licenses needed by weechat-0.3.3-5.1 Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
