Hi all,
according to Wikipedia, "The first use of the term in public was by
Jesse James Garrett in February 2005." EMBOSSes AJAX is much older, so I
am quite reluctant to ask upstream to rename this library.
Today, I have finished to clean our package's bugs, and it is almost
ready for upload. Almost, because in the process of registering manuals
with doc-base, I have found a non-free file... I reported it upstream:
http://lists.open-bio.org/pipermail/emboss/2007-October/003106.html
I think that it would make sense to wait a bit for an answer before
calling the firefighters, upload a ~dfsg version with urgency=high and
ask for the removal od EMBOSS from testing, but after last month's
discussion on -devel, and the emergency removal of a kernel which
accidentally contained a non-free firmware, I do not know how urgently
this kind of issue should be treated...
Have a nice day,
