Re: New DFSG-compliant emacs packages
Hi,
Is this discussion going any where? Debian has a stance about
what it considers free, and what it's support polices regarding
non-free material, and these are spelled out in the social contract.
People disagree with how we divvy up free software from
non-free software; we get that. We now are going around in cricles
with people accusing us of all kinds of nasty things, unethical
behaviour, lying, harming users, being silly, being inconsistent, and
probably other nasty things I have missed. Perhaps we eat babies.
We get that too.
However, this is not a list for debating Debian's policy about
free software, the social contract, the DFSG, the non free archive,
and the morals and ethics of the project as a while.
None of this discussion seems to be relevant to emacs packages
anymore, though I would not like to lose track of the issue about
patch shadowing and whether we should hardlink .el files into the
place where we create .el files, and only include the latter in the
load-path.
So, can we take all non technical discussion of this list? I
have set Mail-Followup-T and Reply-To appropriately, pointing to a
list where you may have such discussions to your hearts content, and
have a better chance of accomplishing whatever desired outcome you
have in mind for this discussion.
Please join me in a new thread about load path issues in
Debian's emacsen.
