Blocking FE-Legal, This is license problem. I have some packages ready for review soon for librecad, I think the best course of action is to retire qcad due to legal concerns. Alain, are you okay with this? Of course I'm not okay, but I have a choice? Well, if you think there is a way to resolve the non-free licensing issues with qcad, I am certainly willing to consider that. The issue seems to be that all of the fonts, patterns, example libraries, and documentation are non-free. If all of these items were removed, it could remain, but I'm not sure how functional or useful qcad would be at that point. As you say, removing all non-free items will make qcad probably useless... Documentation was really usefull. Have I to understand that qcad have to be deleted from all branches and from Fedora repositories? No, just retire it and delete in rawhide before F19 branches (which means, do it soon!). I think this would be a great candidate to move to rpmfusion. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life Package retired from rawhide. I'll try to suggest to rpmfusion, but I never contributed to this repo before. I've completed the missing step 2 in git master: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life Has step 8 been done? Has any of this changed with version 3.4.5? I have not been able to find enough specifics between this bug and the linked debian bugs to make an evaluation. https://raw.github.com/qcad/qcad/master/LICENSE.txt |
