Who's doing that? Of course the flaws matter. > So answering criticism of the current spec with "well, it is not > going to be policy any time soon, so just urn your attention elsewhere" If you got that impression, I can only say I don't think it's accurate. Try this: The machine-parseable copyright format is still in draft form and is not currently mandatory, so no-one is forced to use it. Those who don't like the form it's currently in are welcome to discuss it, once the discussion moves to a forum more amenable to actually building on what is discussed. I believe this is in progress with a DEP under way. Those who don't like the very *idea* of a machine-parseable format for ‘debian/copyright’ apparently exist, but I don't understand their position yet :-) > There are wrinkles being pointed out already. Sure. I eagerly await the appearance of the DEP so the discussion can properly get underway; as it is, this is currently far more heat than light. -- \ “What we usually pray to God is not that His will be done, but | `\ that He approve ours.” —Helga Bergold Gross | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
