Package: python-doc Version: 2.3.5-2 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.2.1
Hi! Python documentation is written in LaTeX and compiled into HTML with LaTeX2HTML, which is currently non-free. It seems that the HTML is shipped pre-built in the source package. This should be fixed: possible solutions are * python-doc is moved to contrib and with HTML actually built from LaTeX source by LaTeX2HTML (non-free Build-Depends:); python would not be affected by this change, as it only Suggests: python-doc * python-doc is rebuilt from LaTeX source with a DFSG-free LaTeX->HTML compiler (TeX4ht? Hevea? I don't particularly like them... other such tools?) * some more pressing is exercised to persuade LaTeX2HTML upstream to hurry up and release a new version in a DFSG-free manner (see bug #221703 for details on what have already been done in this respect) See also http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/03/msg00151.html and the subthread that followed. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.32 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages python-doc depends on: ii python2.3-doc 2.3.5-3sarge1 Documentation for the high-level o -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
