OK, I am attempting to package up redmine and need some general
pointers. I'm going through the New Maintainers Guide tutorial and
have run into a few things that I need clarification on.
1) Is there any type of automated way to extract license info from a
series of files? I am using a simple grep to do my heavy lifting but
it seems pretty crude; has no one built anything better?
2) redmine itself is under GPL-2 but there are some files in the
archive under various other license (MIT, LGPL, Ruby) and some files
have no license at all. How do I represent this information in the
debian/copyright file? Listing each file and it's license
individually would be overwhelming. What is the best practice here?
3) The step-by-step tutorial in the DNMG tells the story of packaging
software that is buildable (i.e. has source code). Since my software
is built on RoR it doesn't really "build" anything. Is there a better
tutorial on how to package these types of things (Perl scripts, RoR,
Python programs, etc.)?
Thanx!
Richard
