Hello, I'm working on packaging various docbook-utils for the Yocto Project - a framework for creating custom embedded Linux distributions. As part of our packaging process, we try to identify the license the package is released under, and keep track of a hash of the license information. Most commonly we use the COPYING file included with the sources. In the case of sgml-common-0.6.3.tgz, the COPYING file is a symlink to /usr/share/automake/COPYING (likewise for the INSTALL document). I could not find anything else in the tarball that would serve to represent its software license. I realize this tarball was created way back in 2001, but if there is a future version of it, including a real text file would be quite helpful. Thanks, Scott Garman -- Scott Garman Embedded Linux Distro Engineer - Yocto Project Intel Open Source Technology Center

Scott, I would be willing to restart managing the source code for this package, but I don't even have the account password at RedHat/SourceWare.org anymore, and I haven't been able to contact any admin there. I know that sounds pretty stupid. > I realize this tarball was created way back in 2001, but if there is a future version of it, including a real text file would be quite helpful. > > Thanks, > > Scott Garman

I'll arrange new sgml-common project pages on fedorahosted.org (this or
next week) ...

1) What about the docbook-utils project ?
it was a part of docbook-tools . Perhaps it was too ambitious to put everything under the roof of the docbook-tools. But I keep receiving some feedback about the docbook-utils scripts.
2) Ovasik, if you're at redhat, could you possibly retrieve my old password at docbook-tools project?

That would be great. I really appreciate your efforts.

Perhaps it was too ambitious to put everything under the roof of the docbook-tools. But I keep receiving some feedback about the docbook-utils scripts. I could request hosting for docbook-utils as well ... there are some patches in Fedora which could be merged with yours and we could make new release... > 2) Ovasik, if you're at redhat, could you possibly retrieve my old password at docbook-tools project? I would prefer moving it to fedorahosted - we could have ticketing trac instance there and it is "more open" - you only need Fedora account and it is easy to get one. Greetings, Ondrej Vasik

Fine with me. Who would take care of moving the "latest" source code there ?

I'll request the project hosting and Trac instance.
Once the ticket will be resolved, I could import docbook-utils-0.6.14
tarball content. Or do you have some different (or more recent)
docbook-utils source code version to upload into git (so we could start
with that one) ?
Greetings,
Ondrej

All I got is what I retrieved via anonymous CVS.
$ grep AUTOMAKE configure.in
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(docbook-utils, 0.6.14)
So I suppose I have nothing more recent than you. Go ahead.

As promised, project pages on Fedorahosted.org established. sgml-common: - just git repo - http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=sgml-common.git docbook-utils: - git repo - http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=docbook-utils.git - commit mailing list - https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/docbook-utils-commits - discussion/user/bug-report/patch mailing list - https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/docbook-utils-discuss - project pages and Trac ticketing instance - https://fedorahosted.org/docbook-utils/ For git commit group membership is the Fedora account needed.
