freeze exceptions for texlive-extra
Hi all,
I would like to ask again for freeze exceptions for texlive-extra, which
is another cleanup release due to licensing checks done by Robin
Fairbairns (CTAN Team). In this course I re-added a file (tkalender.sty)
that was removed in -8 after Robin's decision to tag it non-free, and
Karl Berry's removal of this file of TeX Live. After that I checked the
(German) license text and it is free, which has already been changed in
the TeX Catalogue by Robin again, and reincluded in TeX Live (upstream)
by Karl.
The others are removals following upstream TeX Live for packages where
the licenses are either nonfree (nosell) or no info at all is present
and author not trackable.
texlive-extra (2007.dfsg.9-1) unstable; urgency=medium
This release fixes an RC bug by removing non free stuff, so new
orig.tar is needed, and urgency medium.
* blacklist cirth, it has a nosell license (Closes: #504731)
* reintroduce kalender (removed in last release), it was retagged as
free-other in the catalogue, German license text was misunderstood.
* blacklist progkeys, no license information is known and author
unfindable (no bug, but RC)
* blacklist calligra, removed upstream, license noinfo, original author
unknown (no bug, but RC)
Thanks a lot for consideration.
Best wishes
Norbert
