Neither seems to work (checked master setup.inn). Also I don't seem to be able to get on to any mailing list interface to re-enable email to perhaps check status via email in public inbox. Has the Cygwin mailing lists being disabled now blocking package uploads? Can someone please see if they can have a look and give me some hints via DM. Are there any other ways I can see any issues with package uploads? -- Take care.

It seems like I broke calm when I updated it a couple of days ago. :( Thanks for pointing this out. I've repaired it, and your upload seems to have succeeded. > Also I don't seem to be able to get on to any mailing list interface to > re-enable email to perhaps check status via email in public inbox.

If your ISP is blocking email from sourceware, I can only suggest getting a free webmail from somewhere else, and arranging for upload reports be sent there as well (see [1]). I'd did think that it would be nice to add a "recent uploads" report to the web pages, but I'm unlikely to have any time to work on that.

Email retries are often visible under Sourceware Public Inbox e.g. https://inbox.sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/202209252042.28PJfcQU021984-28PKg7eC017324@mx1.webnames.ca/T/#u and I am now also monitoring the Cygwin lists via Atom Feeds in Chromium Foxish RSS/Atom Feed reader extension. >> Has the Cygwin mailing lists being disabled now blocking package uploads? > > No. > >> Can someone please see if they can have a look and give me some hints >> via DM. >> >> Are there any other ways I can see any issues with package uploads? > > If your ISP is blocking email from sourceware, I can only suggest > getting a free webmail from somewhere else, and arranging for upload > reports be sent there as well (see [1]). Thanks for that reminder, I've added Direct ISP and Gmail - hopefully one succeeds! > I'd did think that it would be nice to add a "recent uploads" report to > the web pages, but I'm unlikely to have any time to work on that. > > [1] https://cygwin.com/package-upload.html#reports Any chance of maybe just appending to an mbox cleared after 24 hours old? P.S. I keep having to comment out LICENSE after updates to the latest SPDX keys, as it seems to block uploads! What are you using to validate licences in calm - PyPi spdx-tools? Finally, do you have any advice on what to do about various US Public Domain sources like tz{code,data} about which SPDX.org is still having discussions? I have submitted input asking them to add a tz/tzdb/zoneinfo PD licence instance, and/or also something for other generic US.gov PD sources, like they currently have for NIST, CC, Open Data Commons, Sax, and libselinux. But they closed an issue from a US.gov entity asking for a generic US.gov PD licence for their documents! -- Take care.

The current situation is that a 'license:' key is not required in the package hint, but if present, it's value must validate. If you're having problems, please give an example of a something you think is a valid SPDX license expression, but isn't accepted. > What are you using to validate licences in calm - PyPi spdx-tools?

For our purposes, you may use the string 'Public-Domain', in cases where no license applies because the material has been placed in the public domain. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

These had to be commented out recently: ../fortune-mod/fortune-mod.cygport:#LICENSE=BSD-4-Clause ../unifont/unifont.cygport:#LICENSE="GPL-2.0-with-font-exception AND OFL-1.1" although after further checking, it should have been OR, and is now: LICENSE="(GPL-2.0-with-font-exception OR OFL-1.1) AND Public-Domain AND GPL-2.0-or-later" >> What are you using to validate licences in calm - PyPi spdx-tools? > > I'm using license_expression > > (See https://github.com/nexB/license-expression) Thanks - will see what I can do with that. >> Finally, do you have any advice on what to do about various US Public >> Domain sources like tz{code,data} about which SPDX.org is still having >> discussions? >> I have submitted input asking them to add a tz/tzdb/zoneinfo PD >> licence instance, and/or also something for other generic US.gov PD >> sources, like they currently have for NIST, CC, Open Data Commons, >> Sax, and libselinux. >> But they closed an issue from a US.gov entity asking for a generic >> US.gov PD licence for their documents! > For our purposes, you may use the string 'Public-Domain', in cases where > no license applies because the material has been placed in the public > domain.
