Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "sflowtool" Package name : sflowtool Version : 3.28-1 Upstream Author : Neil McKee <neil.mc...@inmon.com> URL : http://www.inmon.com/technology/sflowTools.php License : Inmon sFlow License (http://www.inmon.com/technology/sflowlicense.txt) Section : non-free/net It builds the following binary packages: sflowtool - Command line utility for decoding and analyzing sflow data To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/sflowtool Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/s/sflowtool/sflowtool_3.28-1.dsc More information about sflowtool can be obtained from its upstream homepage: http://www.inmon.com/technology/sflowTools.php Changes are shown below as in debian/changelog: sflowtool (3.28-1) unstable; urgency=low * Initial release. (Closes: #724738) * sflowtool.c: Silence compiler warnings by coercing args for several printfs * sflowtool.c: Correct number of args in a printf (zero-indexed/one-indexed confusion) -- Rowan Thorpe <ro...@rowanthorpe.com> Thu, 26 Sep 2013 12:55:52 +0300 NB: Communication with the upstream author has been established, and he has already requested I forward my non-debian specific patches to him, and expressed keen interest in another related InMon application being packaged (host-sflow). The license clearly allows re-distribution so this can at least be a candidate for "non-free", but regarding the possibility of including it in "main" I mentioned it isn't yet clear whether the InMon Sflow License is DFSG compatible, and he queried if the APL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_Public_License - as used for host-sflow) would be considered compatible. I don't yet know if this indicates a possibility or willingness to permit that license's use for sflowtool or not, though. Important information can be gleaned from this openvswitch thread http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2010-November/thread.html#4392 but in the end the "discussion with debian-legal" to clarify the official DFSG-compatibility status of both licenses seemed not to eventuate...
