--- Begin Message ---Source: scidavis Version: 0.2.4-3.3 Severity: serious The files scidavis/src/nrutil.cpp and .h in SciDAVis (a QtiPlot fork) contain substantial verbatim portions of code from the Numerical Recipes book. The license of the code from the Numerical Recipes book blatantly conflicts with Debian DFSG, by explicitly restricting or forbidding distribution of the source code. License text of Numerical Recipes, for reference: http://www.nr.com/aboutNR3license.html At the time of writing, using the following terms in the Google search engine, a version of the Numerical Recipes book can be found, which can perhaps be used to verify how the code in nrutil.cpp contains verbatim copies of substantial portions of the code in the book: Numerical Recipes filetype:pdf Possible fixes: - Its parent project QtiPlot had the same problem, and that part of the code has been rewritten somewhere between version 0.9.6.2 and 0.9.8.8 to use the free GSL library instead (GNU Scientific Library, included in Debian). Merge the changes from QtiPlot to SciDAVis, to get rid of the file. - Remove the functionality that nrutil.cpp provides. Such functionality includes at least the Savitzky-Golay smoothing method, and possibly more. - Remove the package entirely from Debian.

Closes: #758650 since the file src/nrutil.cpp is no longer part of the package. * prevented installation of files into /usr/local * patched scidavis/src/scidavis.sip to remove two constructs which cannot be properly parsed by sip. This can probably weaken the python plugins. * patched config.pri and scidavis.pro to avoid the build of 3rd-party liborigin2, which is provided by Debian packages. * added a build-dependency on liborigin2-dev * temporarily unactivated the build of importOPJ.o as there are many problems to fix: the embedded 3rdparty liborigin differs too much from the version provided by Debian Checksums-Sha1: e76288549c474e9dcf92b63f80e5d61ea363d60f 1954 scidavis_1.D8-1.dsc e0b021aeffb5dc8435df7b0b71cad85d8eb2a315 1415024 scidavis_1.D8.orig.tar.xz d5d65f53d856f4ad9f29c808d30a428578ebde82 302827 scidavis_1.D8-1.debian.tar.bz2 8e481717509783d601095aaa0634af67fd5aef0d 2054858 scidavis_1.D8-1_amd64.deb Checksums-Sha256: 760a20ae5a08fc1c9e5e24ac2d6eeaf0e15ac950a501ef9f1785c166288bd30f 1954 scidavis_1.D8-1.dsc 33bb4165b9c4cfebaa734fefe8794d67c418ea9de415ec7132f39bab4ad8e648 1415024 scidavis_1.D8.orig.tar.xz 2b4a4f588f57a94174835acdeb3aea291ab028b0fba42f3e86dc9a2b021a47b3 302827 scidavis_1.D8-1.debian.tar.bz2 85cbcf3522ca77e1c69e7398ebbb0f4b22e19236e644a9cefaed4aa70ec3d870 2054858 scidavis_1.D8-1_amd64.deb Files: ff0182ddb10140604509fc6ba4cecf63 2054858 graphics extra scidavis_1.D8-1_amd64.deb 33ac4bd8dbee4cd0b29091cba762a8dd 1954 graphics extra scidavis_1.D8-1.dsc 053361ebcf4fcfbcdbff13a95f1a7707 1415024 graphics extra scidavis_1.D8.orig.tar.xz 72ab341dfe948da7af00060836f7b033 302827 graphics extra scidavis_1.D8-1.debian.tar.bz2 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIVAwUBVBsZzBwoFpBxNq45AQjywxAAl4OsCTCYVI5U/ramVtzn1jwcCfuLK5Wk XLaDKSh+rEPwOwnOgdJo+tMzSw6KuBr+nHJ/vYKnSV+8umy7u4mqKkyS9nmmp6EY JoerEn7LbgQ1GCEIX93p+mQmJ9IcbPGaCcXh04MJiABC/gnuTBjYV8HWGJkU3N5p MnqIO0RK1IaTYMsJ3McNDx87K8waZ4DWGqHo+3dD6VBs0jMk5LIaWmx6vf4vRiDz C4wVTJRDOGkIzk0GQ3kNPJLYzx3bb22u7M0raeaF4eBruqza0XsAz7HBIT9yehtS SX63WiQV/3z7CrloMfKkqVLGthK1W5nqskouAn/22fmOXDbtVv0fCl7kXsul5CHe 1wLPskCoTx4I/k/8DqugvMozRvwpuIH1JXLLxFrJIso6K6d0ntPIyKWXjpADsTTc BgcaFSNjrWRvBjMOXykcJsyrkmv1GgVwtAUrjKqvEJiS4kPrhNzd7euf0xf2pQnW eegvTe6dasyT0gyUsUwK3tRUd1NT1nGDjvnGloEopwSC95ouiBBhHJjsvMUr7QzA HdYf+m5c72Nn0e0FbExnmnQ8S0eG70YAteUViHTOHCO2+OAMmbQQ50w0hw9hf9qN 7TUCfsiLHYKtRK5YIe3Caa//T2tcEPL4pXGk2j7tSUroJocOxvAEvNBhz8Xur/8I UNEIKlCUlj0= =V/w0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
