Bug#634015: Proposition to team-maintain m2crypto.
Hi Charles,
Sorry for the delay, I was away for a while. I have to admit, I have not paid
much attention to m2crypto lately, so if you or anybody else wants to pick it
up I would not mind at all. If there are no volunteers I'll have a look at the
bug reports and upload a new version in the next week or two.
Regards,
Dima.

Hi Dima,
thanks for the answer ! I will go ahead with the upload soon. But do not
hesitate to look at the bug reports, especially if you had contacts earlier
with Upstream.
Have a nice day,

Bug#634015: Proposition to team-maintain m2crypto.
That may take a little more time, as I noted that demo/x509/proxylib.py is not
free:

################################################## ##########################
Of course, this file is not used at build time and is not distributed in our
binary packages, but if I understand well our procedures, I can not knowingly
upload a package that contains this file.
Hence the question to the other developers: is it necessary to correct m2crypto
source package in Stable ? Not that I am interested to do it – you know my
position on these files is that they should be documented but ignored otherwise
(see http://lists.debian.org/20100124144741.GD13468@kunpuu.plessy.org ). So
if the answer is yes, can somebody volunteer to do the work ?
Have a nice day,

All I can say is "wtf". You knowingly accept that Debian distributes
undistributable files? It's not that it's a non-free license that still allows
distribution, it's "All Rights Reserved".
Kind regards

It's certainly necessary for us to not distribute stuff which is not
distributable. I'm therefore BCCing submit@bugs.debian.org, as this
should be a separate bug from the wishlist bug this is currently
attached to.

Bug#634015: Proposition to team-maintain m2crypto.
- Somebody, not me, accepted the m2crypto package with this file in our archive.
- I found this file and reported it. I admit I did not realise immediately
it was not redistributable at all.
- You said ‘wtf’.
- I contacted the file's author (whose new address was not easy to find), who
confirmed it is intended to be resistributed under the same terms as the whole
m2crypto package.
- Problem solved.
I appologise for ranting about non-free files with the wrong example. This was
inapproppriate, and I understand I lose credit for this. But I do not think that
saying ‘wtf’ contributed at all to solve the real problem.
Cheers,

Bug#634015: Proposition to team-maintain m2crypto.
Dear all,
after clearing out possible copyright issues in some files of the m2crypto
source package, I am ready to upload an updated package. I would like to
manage its sources in a VCS. I originally thought about the Debian Python
Modules Team, but it only uses Subversion. Here are the three possibilities I
see:
- In python-modules, with Subversion, or
- in collab-maint, with Git.
Dima or anybody else interested in participating, please let me know your
preferences. Otherwise I think I will go for collab-maint with Git.
Have a nice day,
