quick one -- where to place "public domain" -- into Copyright or License?
http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ kinda suggests to use short license name "public-domain" within License: field. But also it suggests that Copyright is the correct place for such information (which I agree with, since being "public domain" is about ownership, not description of the use terms) Also, the DEP5 checker has no clue about public-domain as a short license either: $> config-edit -application dpkg-copyright -ui none Configuration item 'Files:"scikits/statsmodels/datasets/anes96/anes96.csv scikits/statsmodels/datasets/grunfeld/grunfeld.csv scikits/statsmodels/datasets/longley/longley.csv scikits/statsmodels/datasets/macrodata/macrodata.csv scikits/statsmodels/datasets/nile/nile.csv scikits/statsmodels/datasets/randhie/randhie.csv scikits/statsmodels/datasets/stackloss/stackloss.csv scikits/statsmodels/datasets/strikes/strikes.csv scikits/statsmodels/datasets/sunspots/sunspots.csv" License short_name' has a wrong value: license public-domain is not declared in main License section. Expected BSD-3 and if I omit license for works in public-domain (mentioned in Copyright:) $> config-edit -application dpkg-copyright -ui none Configuration item 'Files:"scikits/statsmodels/datasets/anes96/anes96.csv scikits/statsmodels/datasets/grunfeld/grunfeld.csv scikits/statsmodels/datasets/longley/longley.csv scikits/statsmodels/datasets/macrodata/macrodata.csv scikits/statsmodels/datasets/nile/nile.csv scikits/statsmodels/datasets/randhie/randhie.csv scikits/statsmodels/datasets/stackloss/stackloss.csv scikits/statsmodels/datasets/strikes/strikes.csv scikits/statsmodels/datasets/sunspots/sunspots.csv" License short_name' has a wrong value: Undefined mandatory value. -- =------------------------------------------------------------------= Keep in touch www.onerussian.com Yaroslav Halchenko www.ohloh.net/accounts/yarikoptic -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
