Hi,
I have this package that has subpackages. What should I do with the license files? Should they be part of the main package? Should I copy them into every subpackage? Should I create a "-doc" subpackage and make it a "supplements" of all the other subpackages? Do they have all the same License? Does the sub-packages require the main package?
If they have all the same license, and there is one package required by everything, put it into this package.
Else every package should have the license file.
*-doc and supplements is a bad idea, there is no gurantee that the *-doc package gets installed, and this would be a violation of some licenses.
Sometimes people put all licenses into a *-license sub-package and require that, but then there is no simple matching, to which packages this license belongs.

Thanks. They all have the same license. I will put the license only in the main package which is required by all of them. -- Jordi Massaguer Pla Release Manager for SUSE CaaS Platform SUSE Linux https://www.suse.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
