Chasing RC bugs in texlive packages
merge 356853 363061
thanks
Hi all,
I am a bit sick of the RC bugs, so let's try to eliminate them:
texlive-lang:
#368968: tetex-base: License violation in csplain
#439028: non-free files in texlive
both will be fixed by the next upload I will do today
texlive-extra:
#429813: no license and copyright information for tex/latex/tableaux/*
see my other email
That is quite hard to solve, if someone can take that
over and help, otherwise I propose to blacklist
this tpm.
texlive-bin:
#436965: latexmp.pdf has to be removed from the .orig.tar.gz, too
I already created a new .orig.tar.gz to be found
on people/~preining/TeX/src/
So that can easily be solved by a new upload, but I
don't want to do an upload *only* for this.
texlive-base:
#356853: Contains files without any license statement
#363061: Contains non-free runtime files
see below
So what is left are the files in the two bugs #356853, #363061.
I have merged them and discussion will continue on 356853.
Frank did a recollection in April, coming down to
* bbm fonts [OPEN]
Frank mentioned that there is something on the way via Karl Berry
is there any progress?
the macro package is lppl, only the fonts miss a license
statement
Should we contact the font author: Gilles F. ROBERT
gfrobert@umpa.ens-lyon.fr
* concmath [CLOSED???]
the latex and font packages are under LPPL
see CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/concmath/README
and CTAN/fonts/concmath/README
so what is the problem here, can someone tell me this?
* Donald Arsenau files [OPEN]
Frank, AFAIR you had some discussion with Donald. Did you
get an email at least stating the freeness, so we could include
the email in the copyright file ...
* eepic docs [OPEN]
I assume it is the file eepic.tex which lacks any statement.
Puh, it was written in 1988, du we really expect to get any
answer from Conrad Kwok <kwok@iris.ucdavis.edu>
No idea if this email is still working and he is still there.
One is taking this up and trying to contact him?
* ae [CLOSED ON CTAN]
This is already solved, updated package is on CTAN
I guess we could include simply the MANIFEST, COPYING, and
README file from CTAN.
* amslatex [HALF-OPEN]
Positive answer from AMS, but no progress after this
Anyone heard anything else?
* seminar.sty [CLOSED]
already fixed in 2007, mentions lppl in all the files
As you know I am leaving for some time, but if one or the other can take
up one or the other of the above points and try to track them down that
would be great.
Best wishes
Norbert
