First, sorry for the delay.

I fixed the copyright notices and license texts according
to the example. Also, the utilities now show a short copyright
notice when run with the -V (version) option.

The current tarball is in:
http://users.actcom.co.il/~oron/oron/docs/linkloop-0.0.3.tar.gz
And its GPG signature is in:
http://users.actcom.co.il/~oron/oron/docs/linkloop-0.0.3.tar.gz.sig

Thank you and I hope I haven't messed anything this time,

Oron Peled

Hi Oron,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within one week I still do not get a reply, I will remove your project. You will still be able to register it again once you have the time to deal with the registration issues.

Are you still willing to host your project at Savannah? If not, please tell us - we don't bite, and it will make us gain time.

Regards,

Stephan

Hello Oron,

First of all I would like to tell you that I am sorry for the delay.

While evaluating your project I have noticed a few problems which are described below.

The address of the FSF has changed, and is now:

  51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA

Please update your license notices.

Please update the copy of the license (usually, the 'COPYING' file) in your package as well.

Updated versions of the GPL, LGPL and GFDL can also be found at:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt

You can find some background and a possible migration script at https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=3766


Also, you added the license notices, but did not add appropriate copyright notices.

Please check http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for more information, and update your files.

We also recommend using the license notices mentioned at http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices.html#License-Notices.


If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide us with an URL to an updated tarball of your project.  Upon review, we will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.

To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the tracker's web interface following the link below. Do not reply directly, the registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we will not receive such replies.

Regards,

A new project has been registered at Savannah
This project account will remain inactive until a site admin approves or discards the registration.


Registration Administration


While this item will be useful to track the registration process, approving or discarding the registration must be done using the specific "Group Administration" page, accessible only to site administrators, effectively logged as site administrators (superuser):

  <https://savannah.gnu.org/siteadmin/groupedit.php?group_id=8943>


Registration Details


  • Name: Linkloop
  • System Name:  linkloop
  • Type: non-GNU software &amp; documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License V2 or later





Description: This program is similar to ping(1), but tests connectivity at the
link layer (layer-2) instead of the network layer (layer-3).

HPUX has linkloop support for ages, and lately I googled a little
and found that link-layer connectivity loopback testing is part
of the IEEE 802.2LLC standard.

So I went and written:
        - linkloop for GNU/Linux.
        - linkloop_reply as a user space reply program. Used for
          testing against GNU/Linux until the Linux kernel has native
          support for this protocol (in my TODO :-)
        - lanscan is a small utility to show local interfaces
          with their mac addresses. Yes I know 'ip link' gives
          the same information, I just wanted to play with some
          ioctls :-)

To get me started I grabbed some examples from spak
   http://www.xenos.net/software/spak/
   http://fresh.t-systems-sfr.com/linux/src/spak-0.6b.tar.gz/
(Which is GPL'ed).

It was tested against HPUX-11.0 and GNU/Linux (when running linkloop_reply)
both ways.

My linkloop accepts MAC address in:
        - HPUX notation (0x......)
        - Colon separated (00:BC:.....)
        - A name from /etc/ethers


Other Software Required: None.
