Control: retitle -1 ITP: opentracker -- An open and free bittorrent tracker Control: severity -1 wishlist Tags: ITP * Package name : opentracker * Version : 0.20120528 * Upstream Author : Dirk Engling <erdgeist@erdgeist.org> * URL : http://erdgeist.org/arts/software/opentracker * License : Beer ware * Programming Lang: C * Description : An open and free bittorrent tracker opentracker is a open and free bittorrent tracker project. It aims for minimal resource usage and is intended to run at your wlan router. Currently it is deployed as an open and free tracker instance. Read our free and open tracker blog and announce your torrents there (but do not hesitate to setup your own free trackers!). Following up on the license discussion, a) it was established that Beer ware is DFSG-free b) I contacted the author and asked him if he's OK with adding a LICENSE file declaring the software as Beer Ware. The answer is yes, as he made clear in the forum post mentioned above and as it's declared on the opentracker web site. We have more than 3 yes already, so licensing issue *resolved*. Suggested contents of LICENSE file: /* * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * "THE BEER-WARE LICENSE" (Revision 42): * Dirk Engling <erdgeist@erdgeist.org> wrote this file. As long as you retain * this notice you can do whatever you want with this stuff. If we meet some * day, and you think this stuff is worth it, you can buy me a beer in return * Dirk Engling * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ This passes the devscripts' licensecheck. I would thus go ahead and start packaging opentracker if there are no objections, co-maintainers welcome. I was inactive for quite a while, so I have to catch up on a lot of things like collab-maint etc. - please be patient with me ;) Alex |
