Re: RFS: ruby-hamster 2.0.0-1
Hi,
thanks.

Again, I'd want the members of the ruby team (who usually approve new
gems in pkg-ruby-extras) to have a look first.

Will fix that.

I did not find a policy that explains an applied upstream header. Could
you point me to it, please?

I was told on #debian-ruby to use Expat instead of MIT if it's that
specific variant of MIT. Isn't this the Expat license?
https://github.com/hamstergem/hamster/blob/master/LICENSE
That's what I found in their upstream github repo. The file is one year
old and version 2.0.0 less old than that, so it should apply to the release.
I have no idea why they don't package the license file with their gem
distribution download (= ruby-specific tar archive).

Hanno
