Bug#445866: ITP: perforce -- closed source revision control system
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Sam Clegg <samo@debian.org>
* Package name : perforce
Version : 2007.2-2
Upstream Author : Perforce Inc. <support@perforce.com>
* URL : http://www.perforce.com/
* License : proprietary
Programming Lang: binary only (with bindings in Perl, Python, etc.)
Description : closed source revision control system
closed source, centralised source control system akin to CVS and
subversion. You'll need a license to run a server with more
than two users. Free licenses are granted to open source
projects.
I'm in talks with perforce to get explicit permission to
distribute in non-free. Current license discussions are here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/09/msg00184.html
My packages are here:
http://superduper.net/downloads/debian/
I've created two packages: 'perforce' for the
client and 'perforce-server' for the server. The
'perforce-server' package is a 'fat' package that contains
many server binaries (since the users license if normally
limited to a given version). The server package contains
debian-friendly init scripts, etc.
