Re: debcheckroot v1.0 released

Show all headers | View raw

   Well; you are right Patrick; perhaps I should do something to awake 
debcheckroot from its slumber! If I am not the one who can build a 
respective infrastructure around the project (i.e. checksums for all 
Debian packages) and develop the code forth then someone else would do 
it as there seems to be sufficient interest in the project.

   The first step towards doing so would be to give debcheckroot a 
correct license. I have been thinking of C-FSL-v0.9->1.0, a license we 
would have to discuss on debian-legal, first. I would really like to 
have a universal license that fits all of my projects, first. If there 
should in deed be a non-refittable problem with it I am ready to retract 
it in favour of a BSD-like license (however for debcheckroot, only).

   That would be a good starting point. Nonetheless I would like to keep 
the git repository hosted somewhere on my own page (currently: 
https://www.elstel.org/debcheckroot) as it already is in support of 
DNSSEC/DANE. Furthermore someone would have to assist me in setting up 
write access for such a git-repository (up to now I have only been using 
git offline). Perhaps something to discuss on another debian mailing list.

... that was already done some time ago; though the license had hampered 
approval of the package.

Thx for the reference; I will look for them as soon as the licensing and 
the issue about a secure git repository would be resolved.
