Hash: SHA1
Package: libgtkol
Version: 1.4.1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.1, 2.2.1
libgtkol's upstream tarball contains several copies of a binary "xml-reader",
md5sum d1c995b3108329099b1976592979785c, which does not appear to come
with source code. This is a violation of the DFSG, and probably
not legally distributable either (since the package is under the GPL).
The upstream tarball also contains:
- - config.guess, config.sub, COPYING and ltmain.sh as symlinks instead of
plain files
- - an assortment of files that should be generated at build time:
config.h, config.log, config.status, libgtkol-1.4.pc, Makefile, stamp-h1
It appears that the upstream has just run "make clean" on a build tree
and tarred up the result, rather than using "make dist" or (better) "make
distcheck".
Rather than just stripping the xml-reader binaries from the tarball, it
would probably be a good idea to make the replacement tarball using
"make dist" or "make distcheck", to make it easier (probably, trivial) to
fix #442637 (which is the reason I was looking at this package in the first
place).
Regards,
Simon
