Hi again,

There are some minor issues pending:

  • The main package states the license to be LGPLv3; however debian/copyright states that the license is GPLv2.
  • The information in the README and the description is not too complete. Apparently safeheap will only run on GNU/Linux but it is not stated anywhere.


The first issue should be fixed (the second is just a suggestion), but it can be done from within Savannah. So I am approving the submission. I am leaving this task open so you can tell us when it's ready and we can do a final review in the revision control system of your choice.

Welcome aboard!




I've approved your project--welcome on board! :-)

You'll receive a mail notification with further instructions shortly.

Happy hacking!

Hi Ravi,

I am reviewing your submission on behalf of Savannah; please excuse the delay. I have found a few issues with the package as submitted:

  • Many code files do not have a license header. As a rule of thumb, any file over 10 lines should have an explicit header.
  • Some text files (README, ChangeLog) do not have a header either. In this case it is often better to place the license text at the bottom.
  • The top directory should contain the project Unix name and a version number, e.g. safeheap-0.19. This is just a recommendation and not a requirement, though; but it helps to know which version users have downloaded.
  • You include two licenses with the project: GPLv3 and LGPLv3. I am not sure why the former is there since the project files seem to be under LGPLv3. It would help to remove one, or to clarify the global license in the README.


Please provide an updated tarball so we can continue the review process. Thanks!
