While this has a novel approach to the problem (at least, I haven't seen anything else that tries to solve the LICENSE issue this way), the existing GLEP 23 really does have a much simpler solution. And in this case, the KISS principle should apply. Rather than adding more stuff to ebuilds or multiple new directories to the user's system, it's a lot easier to just use existing LICENSE info and a single line in make.conf to specify what's allowed. 'Course, easier and simpler still don't mean that it's been done yet. *shrug* IIRC, the other two alternative package managers have implemented it in some form -- why not take a look at how they did it to see if there are any good technical solutions (or ideas) present. Or maybe offer a bounty of some sort to the first person that comes up with the patch for Portage. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFEXuSrsJQqN81j74RAmm5AJ938b0VYR7cylytoJGY3gBi7Uiy7QCgiJjq 79oDXSqIrYvL/o7SWxcmotA= =AeFg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
