Let me start with boring stuff: - we should clarify debian/copyright content on debian/* materials copyright/license judging from git history, debian/* is not only "copyright" by our team but also by 2010, 2011 Linaro Limited; original license of Tom's (Linaro) work was LGPL-2.1 (probably for no specific reason) then Matthias Klose <d...@ubuntu.com> also contributed (no changes in debian/copyright were done though) and then there was + * Drop outdated copyright notice for /debian folder and replace by + GPL-2+ copyright entry in /debian/copyright. which imho is incorrect -- we cannot subsume contributions of Tom and Matthias without their agreement ... moreover for Linaro's portion it might even be not that easy -- so we should just maintain that copyright entry as long as current work is based on their work ;) But I am CCing them now (may be they would like to join the team) -- Tom -- do you remember a reason for choosing GPL for the debian/* works? Ideally we should stay with a license compatible with upstream, in this case BSD-3. Would it be possible to change the license for your works, or am I missing the point here? - debian/changelog as long as this work is based on someone else's work, I would prefer to keep the history, only replace "unstable" with "UNRELEASED" or any other distribution/release where that version was available (e.g precise) > By now the current version already looks quite promosing (I hope). > The dpkg-divert stuff, I have remove.
