Bug#25870: html2ps: ghostscript falls over on the PS generated
The URL that was originally tried, was it by any chance something like: http://www.red-bean.com/sgf/user_guide/index.html ? They seemed to have moved that document. So far I'm currently tring the bug out now, it could have possibly happened in an upstream change from the version that you used, and the version that is been developed on now... -- N Jones

Bug#321586: texi2html: Includes non-free image
Subject: texi2html: Includes non-free images Package: texi2html Version: 1.76-2 Severity: serious Justification: CC Images are not compatible with DFSG >From my report at https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=14052 Is it possible for the images in texi2html to be replaced from CC-Attr-Sharealike to a more compatible license that Debian will accept. As the matter stands it seems you are actually claiming GPL'ed images to be CC'ed, hence meaning we can't keep texi2html in the mainstream debian which would mean a complete break down in quite a few of the packages. The singular project which you got the images from claims it's all GPL, which means that the images in texi2html is too. As it stands, this problem is blocking the update of texi2html on Debian which fixes 2 RC bugs (which are actually still unreplied to here). To fix this we could split texi2html and have a -data package in non-free (and the main package in contrib). But this would mean 92 packages directly affected, and thousands more indirectly (glibc build-deps on texi2html). Will await upstream response for decision however. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.3 Locale: LANG=en_NZ, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages texi2html depends on: ii perl 5.8.7-3Larry Wall's Practical Extraction texi2html recommends no packages. -- no debconf information

So i'm going to wait, if there isn't any movement, I might talk to the maintainer of the packages that the images originally came from to split them, so texi2html can depends on them. And use CVS checkouts which exclude the violating images. Personally I am not keen on making a bunch of images :P But for now, I'm going to wait and see what happens. > > Gruesse, > -- > Frank Lichtenheld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > www: http://www.djpig.de/ > -- N Jones Proud Debian & FOSS User Debian Maintainer of: html2ps, ipkungfu, dvorak7min & windowlab
Bug#321586: texi2html images licence
(Also replying to bug page & debian-legal (d-l: please CC me on any replies)) Personally from what I have gathered: * If texi2html has released the singular images under a special agreement (from which it seems), then maybe the images should be released dual-licensed (under GPL & CC), of course under this agreement Debian would only be able to pickup the GPL part.

Bug#268183: texi2html: Can't override T2H_about_body (and friends) from init file.
Hello there, I was just wondering if you could tell me if the problem you described, still exists for you? It is just that I'm tring to follow up on past bugs that were never fixed/sorted out. Thanks. -- N Jones Proud Debian & FOSS User Debian Maintainer of: html2ps, ipkungfu, dvorak7min, windowlab & texi2html
