Description Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2008-10-09 20:36:34 UTC
licensecheck.pl is a very useful tool for reviewers (and package maintainers) and I think it'd be good to have it in rpmdevtools. Please consider adding it.

Comment 1 John Poelstra 2008-10-10 23:33:04 UTC
This bug has been triaged

Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2008-10-13 20:29:06 UTC
Looks interesting, thanks for the pointer.  Some thoughts though, feedback welcome:

While most of the devscripts package seems more or less Debian specific on surface, I wonder if the scripts or a sufficiently large subset of them would also work on Fedora - in that case it would be a good idea to ship devscripts as a separate ("debian-devscripts"?) package instead of cherry-picking stuff to rpmdevtools.

licensecheck.pl could (should?) be patched so that it outputs a suggestion of the value for the License tag.

Comment 3 Susi Lehtola 2009-07-22 23:00:02 UTC
Ping, please add this ASAP...

Comment 4 Ville Skyttä 2009-07-28 16:41:06 UTC
Done upstream (along with annotate-output, checkbashisms and manpage-alert), will be in the next release.

Included in 7.4-1.

Comment 6 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2009-09-13 12:20:02 UTC
Could we get a F11 build, too?

Comment 7 Ville Skyttä 2009-09-13 21:17:19 UTC
I'll probably release 7.5 next week and push that to F-11+
