Description Nils Philippsen 2005-02-10 15:36:32 UTC
torcs version 1.2.3 is available, will attach a slightly enhanced spec file
which avoids inclusion of non-opensource artwork by default.

Comment 2 Nils Philippsen 2005-02-10 15:38:39 UTC
Note that you need to change the package release (in Release: and %changelog)
from -0.nils.1 to -1 or whatever. And I meant to write "torcs-data" in the
initial comment of course ;-).

Comment 3 Nils Philippsen 2005-02-10 15:45:50 UTC
Just saw the updated torcs-data in extras-commits, perhaps a changelog entry
mentioning that you removed non-free artwork could be added? Perhaps you can
make use of the macros I did in the spec file with which you can easily rebuild
the package with the non-free stuff if so desired. I've also included a
copy'n'paste version of the "Free Art License" most of the stuff is licensed by.

Comment 5 Matthias Saou 2005-02-10 17:03:10 UTC
I did already put in the %changelog that I removed the non-free sources.
As for that non-free part, I'm planning on creating a separate package that I'll
put on freshrpms.net, where all the dodgy stuff I package goes.

For the license, you say "most of the stuff", do it mean that not all is under
that license? I had a hard time finding info about what license all the data was
released under on the torcs website. Looking at the original websites where the
"non-free" cars were taken from, I did see terms like not being able to
distribute the artwork for a fee, which is why I removed them, but I assumed
from the website that all the data still there was under the GPL. Is it Free Art
License instead, then?

Comment 6 Nils Philippsen 2005-02-11 08:27:29 UTC
I found that the XML describing cars' parameters is GPL in many cases while
apparently the rest (the artwork, models, textures, etc.) is this Free Art License.

Comment 7 Matthias Saou 2005-02-11 10:33:14 UTC
OK, so I'll include the Free Art License as %doc in each sub-package for the
next versions. What would you suggest changing the "License:" tag to? "GPL/Free
Art", or maybe just "Free Art"?

Comment 8 Nils Philippsen 2005-02-11 10:44:26 UTC
I'd use "GPL and Free Art License" just to avoid confusion -- it's not
alternatively the one or the other, but both.

Comment 9 Matthias Saou 2005-02-11 11:37:01 UTC
I've just commited these license changes to CVS. Please check and let me know if
you see any possible further changes to be done.
