Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
As per #959981, Chef packages in Debian have trademark issues
according to their upstream.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=959981
The claims are questionable, are argued by Steve Langasek in a
corresponding Ubuntu bug.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/chef/+bug/1877462
However, Chef Inc. decided that Chef should no longer be free
software/open source. I no longer intend to use or maintain Chef, and
would like it to be removed from Debian.
There is a "community fork" called Cinc (Cinc is not Chef). If someone
feels like maintaining that in Debian they are free to do it. I however
have no intention of doing so.
dak says this:
