Re: common, FHS-compliant, default document root for the various web servers

2009-11-13 Thread Stefano Zacchiroli
Sorry for the delay in replying to this. I've just re-read all the
disagreements with the original proposal and they all seem to be related
to this main counter-argument by Sean, hence I'll reply here.

I understand this problem, but I think you're shooting at the wrong
target. The advanced proposal (beside the aesthetically displeasing
name) is about standardizing a default vendor document root on disk so
that packages can install content in it, as well as defining a base URL
that maps to it.

Inherently, such a proposal applies to static content, not CGI
applications. I fail to see where lay problems about unconfigured static
content.

So, regarding your "working in unconfigured state" I think we should
rather just be clear that CGI should not be enabled by default, if this
is actually a concern. Personally, while I understand it, I wouldn't
like carving that in stone: maintainers should be free to decide whether
their applications have a sane default that enable apps to work out of
the box or not. I easily see both apps that can work without any conf
(e.g. CGI-based doc browsers for the local machine) and apps that would
forcibly require conf (e.g. multi-intance blog engines or other
webapps).

All in all, I don't see why adding a default root for static content
make things worse wrt your problems.

A couple of other misc remarks:

- Stating that those defaults should be enabled only for the localhost
  virtual host will help a lot. For web servers with no virtual host
  support we can simply state that they should not have the proposed
  vendor document root enabled by default.

- We already have a de facto default vendor dir rooted at /doc/, why
  should this be a special case? Implementing the advanced proposal
  would enable generalizing that unfortunate ad-hoc case.

Of course, thanks to all the participants for their feedback!
Cheers.

Any help is appreciated. Some packages are spread over the Debian
community (like jing/trang) and some are collected under the hat of the
Debian XML/SGML group:

http://debian-xml-sgml.alioth.debian.org/
http://alioth.debian.org/projects/debian-xml-sgml
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-xml-sgml
http://git.debian.org/ (debian-xml-sgml/...)
http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=debian-xml-sgml-p...@lists.alioth.debian.org

There are also some orphaned docbook* packages. If you are interested in
XML/SGML please check, which packages might be of interest for you or
where you can/want to help. Some topics coming to my mind:

- packaging RELAX NG and W3C schema support (I started relax-ng)
- rewriting update-(sgml|xml)catalog (sgml-base, xml-core)
- docbook-utils needs a lot of love (SGML-related)
- the policies need to be updated and adjusted (especially after
rewriting xml-core/sgml-base)
- of course: bug fixing/tracking

So if you are interested, please don't hesitate to join packaging effort
of XML/SGML related packages.

If you modify a GPL-licensed software and distribute the modified version in

The clause apply to whoever made the modification, not whoever provide the
service. They might be different people, and the modifier should not be
responsible for what the service provider do. Do you agree ?

This require you for keeping the .tar.gz online for as long a people are
providing services using your modified software, which can be a long time
after you stopped distributing it and stopped to care about it.

Not really: with the GPL, you can just ship a CD-ROM with the source code with
each embedded devices. At this point your have no further obligation. 
(I bought several devices which provided such CD-ROM. This is far from
hypothetical.)

The developer might release a fixed version of the software (and thus 
a new Corresponding Source) without being able to force the service provider
to switch to that new version, which has no legal obligation.

So if you are as service provider, is the AGPL trivially bypassable by having

Distribution is what we're talking about here - if you can no longer

You are only required to distribute the source if you choose to run it
on a publicly accessible server.  If it's on your own machine or a
private server and no-one outside your organisation can access it, then
you don't have to worry about it.

If you are only distributing the software conventionally then you only
have to provide or offer the source in exactly the same way as required
by GPL.

David.

OK, I've just re-read section 13 of the AGPL and I'm going to retract
that last sentence.  It is indeed not quite that simple.

If you modify the program you also need to modify the offer to download
the source so it gets your modified code instead of the original.  One
way to do this is to point it to your server, but it is not the only way.

For example, another way you might be able to comply with this
requirement is to always distribute the source along with the binaries
and arrange for the source to be downloaded from the same server the
binary is running from.

Now this could certainly involve more extensive modifications than you
might otherwise want to do, and you might well decide it's not worth the
effort.  However I'm still not entirely convinced it makes the license
non-free.

Cheers,

David.

Er, it wasn't in Debian, but in a couple of bits of my private packaging I did
something akin to that in order to use the debhelper shell script injected
into the postinst easily.

Given that one line of Perl was required it looked the nicer strategy, and
less prone to break strangely if the debhelper shell code did something
strange.

Of course you are not talking with your attorney hat here.

Just take it a bit out of context (as a lawyer would probably do):

Attorney: What's a User Agent String?
Expert: Well, it's the way the browser identifies itself against the server.
A.: So, can I say it's like me asking you "Who are you" and you answering 
me "I'm Mr. Smith?"  or "what's that? is this a Pepsi or what is it?"
E.: Well... I'd say that...
A.: Just answer yes or not!
E.: Hummm... Err... Well, yes.
A.: So then, Iceweasel is claiming to be "Firefox" against the server which 
asks it?
E.: Yes.
A.: It is not answering "I'm *like* Firefox" or "My codebase is based on that 
from Firefox" but "I'm Firefox"?
E.: Yes.
A.: No more questions.

Forget it's only machine to machine chatting and think for a second the 
user-agent string were on a newspaper.  I think it's clear that "Firefox 3.5" 
would be an obvious copyright infringement while "Based on Firefox 3.5" would 
be perfectly safe.

That's an uncoached expert who just gave a crappy answer to that question,
since in practice that's not what User-Agent is at all.

Attorney: What's a User Agent String?
Expert: It's a list of random product identifiers that the browser wants
   to claim that it's compatible with, some of which normally refer to
   products that have been dead for years in any context other than code
   that looks at user agent strings.
