Re: Packaging of cd-hit for Debian
Hi Weizhong,
many thanks for your very quick response. Adding the license.txt file
is helpfull in fact. However, the basic concern of our ftpmasters is
the PDF file - sorry if my initial mail was not clear enough. They claim
that also documentation needs to be available in source (like LaTeX or
ODF). I personally admit that this in some times might seem strange.
A use case for this requirement might be to possibly adjust some pathes
to the installation location inside Debian (which is not needed here -
but anyway they just consider documentation only as free if it is in an
editable format).
I have no idea whether this fits your intention to handle the
documentation. If not I would simply strip the documentation from the
package and add a link to the download location which is usually
equivalently useful for the user finally.
Thanks again for your quick response
Andreas.
