[Pkg-ltsp-devel] ltspfs packages and copyright problems

[Vagrant Cascadian]

ok, there's a few copyright problems with ltspfs, but i think it's
solveable, though possibly a lot of work.

several of the upstream stuff in ltspfs src/*.c either contain
references to *files* that don't exist ("Copying" and "GPL"), and others
contain no licensing headers at all, or a copyright header but no
license header. i think we can fix these easily by talking with scotty.

then, there's really complicated copyright notices for all the
autoconf stuff included with ltspfs. i'm a little overwhelmed at how to
properly document it all in debian/copyright. i also suspect that some
of them are autogenerated files- i don't know what all we really need in
the source tarball:

egrep -i copyright * | cut -d : -f 1 | sort -u

COPYING
INSTALL
Makefile.in
aclocal.m4
compile
config.guess
config.sub
configure
depcomp
install-sh
missing

are all of these files necessary? how best to prepare the copyright
files? aclocal.m4 is partiucularily ugly, containing about 19 copyright
entries(though most are identical, just with different years).

and then, of course, the .postinst scripts modify configuration files :(

grrr.

live well,
