I would include the relevant replies only. For instance: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=40;mbox=yes;bug=784565 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=77;mbox=yes;bug=784565 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=87;mbox=yes;bug=784565 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=102;mbox=yes;bug=784565 > o upload some latest release of nx-libs-lite 3.5.0.x to unstable > o update debian/copyright accordingly In the debian/copyright file the license for the original DXPC code should be replaced with the 2-clause BSD license (currently adopted for DXPC) with a comment saying something like: The original DXPC code used to be available under a license which failed to explicitly grant the permission to modify, but was later retroactively re-licensed under the 2-clause BSD license (see debian/bug_784565_*.mbox for the copyright owners' statements; see <https://bugs.debian.org/784565> for more details) Moreover, the copyright notice of Gian Filippo Pinzari should be documented in some more appropriate part of the debian/copyright file, associated with the NoMachine license (GPL v2 or later). > o close this bug via debian/changelog > > For upstream, I propose this: > > o copy bug_784565.mbox into the docs/ folder Again, I would not include the entire bug log, but only the relevant messages (see above)... > o update copyright information in nxcomp/ subfolder > o provide some README or such that shortly explains our last weeks' process > o this will be for the upcoming 3.6.x release series of nx-libs > > o this should also be backported to the 3.5.x release series Thanks to everyone involved!
