Hi, I'm just reviewing a DOSEmu package, where the package author includes a tarball of FreeDOS installation (binary images of a couple of basic DOS utilities, shell and the kernel). I believe that it's probably illegal (provided it's GPL code, I have not checked) to do this unless we distribute sources as well. Would anyone mind if I told the maintainer just to include the source tarball in SRPM for now? Building the whole thing from source, while cleanly being possible, would add a huge amount of work at this point.
Actually it is *not * possible to build freedos from source as this requires (or atleast used to) non free tools such as Borland C 3. Which means that we should seriously consider wether we want to ship it at all. And if start shipping it having diskimages for qemu would be a nice bonus to have :) Regards, Hans -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
