Package: src:fontmatrix
Severity: serious
Version: 0.6.0+svn20110930-1.1
user: debian...@lists.debian.org
usertags: source-is-missing
severity: serious

Hi,
Your package seems to include some files that lack sources
in prefered forms of modification:
help/js/jquery.js
help/js/jquery.jtabs.pack.js
src/graphic-resources/html-css/fontmatrix.js
Please use bunded jquery
According to Debian Free Software Guidelines [1] (DFSG) #2:
"The program must include source code, and must allow distribution
in source code as well as compiled form.".
This could also constitute a license violation for some copyleft licenses such
as the GNU GPL.
In order to solve this problem, you could:
1. repack the origin tarball adding the missing source to it.
2 add the source files to "debian/missing-sources" directory
Both way satisfies the requirement that we ship the source. Second option
might be preferable due to the following reasons [2]:
- Upstream can do it too and you could even supply a patch to them, thus full
filling our social contract [3], see particularly ยง2.
- If source and non-source are in different locations, ftpmasters may
miss the source and (needlessly) reject the package.
- The source isn't duplicated in every .diff.gz/.debian.tar.* (though
this only really matters for larger sources).
You could also ask debian...@lists.debian.org or #debian-qa for more
guidance.
