Description Jerry James 2020-12-30 16:03:33 UTC

Description of problem:
The ocaml-ocamlbuild spec file says the license is "LGPLv2+ with exceptions", but the "any later version" language does not appear in upstream's tarball.  Furthermore, upstream's ocamlbuild.opam file says:

license: "LGPL-2 with OCaml linking exception"

i.e., it does not say "LGPL-2.1-or-later".  Finally, the LICENSE file says:

OCamlbuild is distributed under the terms of the GNU Library General
Public License version 2 (included below).

That language, again, lacks the "any later version" language.  Therefore, the spec file License field should read "LGPLv2 with exceptions".

This was discovered while generating spec files with https://pagure.io/opam2rpm and comparing them with the corresponding Fedora spec files.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ocaml-ocamlbuild-0.14.0-21.fc34

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2020-12-30 16:16:56 UTC

Oh I see, yes this analysis is correct.

I think the fixed License line should be:

License: LGPLv2 with exceptions

Is that right?

Comment 2 Jerry James 2020-12-30 22:01:57 UTC

Yes, I believe that is correct.

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2020-12-31 09:36:38 UTC

Fixed in Rawhide.
