Bug 710672

An issue from rpmlint:

pnmixer.src: E: description-line-too-long C * Continuous volume adjustment when dragging the slider (not just when you let go)

The line is longer than 80 characters.

Thanks for the hint. However I consider this a minor problem and not worth rolling a new package at this point. I would rather prefer somebody first does a complete review and then I fix all problems found.

I agree with you. It was just a cosmetic issue which I get from rpmlint.

3 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 2 errors, 7 warnings.

The warnings could be ignored, also the description line. The obsolete-not-provided is because pnmixer obsoletes older versions of obmixer and don't provide obmixer itself. If pnmixer is *not* the official successor of obmixer, this warning could be ignored too.

Hm, the headers of src/main.c and src/callbacks.c say they are licensed under GPLv2.

Yes, you are right. But the file COPYING references the GPLv3 (no hint about future versions anyway). Moreover, the other source files from src don't declare a license at all. What to do in this case?

Just filed a bug agaist pnmixer at Github:

OK, great, that's the right thing to do. Without getting further information from upstream I'd say the program is licensed under GPLv2 and would exclude COPYING from the package.

New upstream version available:

https://github.com/downloads/nicklan/pnmixer/pnmixer-0.3.tar.gz

This version solves the licensing problem. Everything is updated to GPLv3+. Moreover, the gettext stack is now working and the package ships a German translation. Means, the find_lang macro has to be applied.

Sorry for bugging again, but the license has changed to GPLv3 only. Now I keep quiet. :)

I think this would be the wrong approach. GPL by default is "or any later version", so it would be at least GPLv2+. The headers in the code are probably a leftover from the old obmixer and COPYING was GPLv3. Even if we didn't knew the intentions of the author, GPLv3+ is a sane choice as it meets both: Copying on the one hand and the headers on the other because GPLv3 is a later version of GPLv2.

But thanks to Mario we know the proper license now. Thanks also for the translation. Mario, I really appreciate that.

Here is the updated package:
SPEC URL: http://cwickert.fedorapeople.org/review/pnmixer.spec
SRPM URL: http://cwickert.fedorapeople.org/review/pnmixer-0.3-1.fc16.src.rpm

I added another patch to change the default mouse scroll step from 1 to 5.

You know: If I find an untranslated software anywhere in the world, I'll translate it, what else ;)

OK, all looks fine so far, that's why:

PACKAGE APPROVED

Thanks for the quick review. I wish I found this package in time for F15 because I had to had to switch from gmixer (orphaned) to pavucontrol, so the panel icon was missing.
