Source: ensembl Version: 63-1 Severity: serious Justification: distributable?
Hi, ensembl's debian/README.source says: | Since Jalview is not yet part of Debian, its source code is also not | yet available through or distribution. To better comply with the GPL, | the source code of Ensembl also ships the sources for Jalview. It was | downloaded from http://www.jalview.org/source/jalview_2_6_1.tar.gz | with embedded jars removed. This dependency on the jalview .jar renders | the Ensembl package non-free for the time being. The situtation shall | improve over the course of 2011. The such repacked jar file is located | in the Ensembl package's source tree at | ensembl-57/htdocs/jalview/jalview_2.6.1_nojars.orig.tar.gz . Unfortunately no such file exists --- I guess it disappeared during some upgrade. The jars in the source package only contain class files, no .java source files. Assuming that what debian/copyright says is correct, this would make the ensembl package non-distributable: | Files: htdocs/jalview/jalview*.jar [...] | Copyright: (C) 1999-2011 by all authors. | License: GPL-3 Am I understanding correctly? If so, please correct the package and notify the admins of snapshot.debian.org so the nondistributable versions can be removed. If not, please clarify in debian/copyright. This must have been a huge effort to package. Thanks for your hard work! Regards, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
