------- Additional Comments From kevin(a)tigcc.ticalc.org 2007-09-18 07:36 EST -------
i've just sorted out the confusion created by an earlier
re-licensing
of fancybox as lppl, and the situation (on ctan) is now completely
clear -- only one copy, lppl, catalogued as lppl.
As far as I can tell, this means it should be safe to get this file back in (in
its LPPL version) if it really has been removed. spot?
i've approached the ams about it, and they say there's an
upcoming
release that will have a revised (free) licence statement. the
release is scheduled for 2007-10-01; if it arrives (fingers firmly
crossed) it will be on ctan by 2007-10-02 (uk time), and probably in
the tex-live repository later that day (california time ;-).
Sounds good (except for the wait).
Unfortunately, I don't know who the upstream contact spot (Tom Callaway) spoke
to was, I only know what spot posted to this bug and to the mailing lists.
As for the tarballs, the current specfile has this to say:
# Source0 comes as a result from scripts that look for files in teTeX and
assigns appropriate
# TeXLive styles to it so that no style present in teTeX will be missing in
TeXLive.
# it contains expanded packages from
ftp://tug.org/texlive/Contents/inst/archive/
# Scripts that are used for that are available at
http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/files/texlive/scripts/
Source0: texlive.texmf-%{version}.tar.bz2
# Source1 is
http://www.tug.org/texlive/Contents/inst/archive/texmf-var.zip
Source1: texlive.texmf-var-%{version}.zip
so the canonical sources for the current tarball are the packages in archive/.
Since the Fedora tarball is recomposed anyway, I guess this means Jindrich Novy
can/should also take care of the updating, right?
