Hello,

I am closing this item for now as to reduce the task list a little bit. When you want to proceed, just write a note in here and we will continue where we stopped.

This has to be delayed a day or so. Currently I am trying to debug why a couple of apps (including MplayerGS) produce a segmentation fault with the SVN version of GNUStep.

Sorry, I have been really busy completing a project for work. However, I am planning on working on it this weekend. I will submit it on Monday.

Thanks for you patience.

Sorry for the delay- I just got back from holidays. I will update the tarball with your recommendations and upload it ASAP.

Thanks.

Charles

I am reviewing your project -- sorry for the delay.
There are some inconsistencies:

  • The preferred copyright notice for GPLv3 has changed slightly --

  please see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html or the file COPYING
  in your tarball.

  • Please include a short README with a copyright notice in Resources

  for the images and the .gorm files.  See
  http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html
  for details.  (BTW, some of the images are executable -- perhaps a
  mistake.)

  • In MplayerGSInfo.plist the copyright year is 2003; since this is

  what the users will see in the Info dialog, please include all years
  as appropriate, separated by commas.  See the above URL for details.

Would you be willing to correct these small problems and give us the
URL to an updated tarball?

One minor recommendation:  Since the project is under GPL, "All rights
reserved." seems out of place and confusing.  According to the FSF
licensing team this is not a problem, but some distros (e.g. Debian)
sometimes reject packages because of this.  It would be nice to remove
them while updating the copyright/license notices.

Thanks.

P.S.  Unrelated to the project registration, but I find it worth
mentioning.  Your package does not work on gNewSense 2.0 -- it builds
fine but NSException is thrown when loading the .gorms.  IIRC this is
because they were edited with a modern version of Gorm which depends
on GNUstep GUI 0.14.  You might want to include (in README, for
example) the minimal Base/GUI versions required; this would be very
helpful to your users.
