As I have no time to update all the files, I made a records-1.5.1 "redux" without the documentation. I also removed all the autoconf stuff.

Please ack.

Hi again, Xavier,

I saw a mail from you at the mailing list, where you were answering the original author. Does this mean he agreed? If so please attach an fixed tarball.

Please always use the item tracker webinterface on Savannah for writing us, because it is hard to keep track of the messages otherwise.

Hi Xavier,

we can't appprove the project as it is now.
You will need to ask the original developer whether he permits to make the necessary changes. If he doesn't, you will have to replace the blocking parts by works you wrote alone.

The two parts in particular are:

---
Permission is granted to copy and distribute modified versions of
this manual under the conditions for verbatim copying, provided that the entire resulting derived work is distributed under the terms of a permission notice identical to this one, and provided that the privacy of any reader of the resulting derived work is respected. In particular is it strictly forbidden to make this documentation available on a World Wide Web server which deals cookies. However, keeping access statistics is allowed.
---

This condition is too stringent to qualify as a free software documentation.

A couple of files just have a "This file is under the Gnu Public License." line. This is delicate because it is ambiguous (which version, 1,2 or 3?) Remember that the "or any later" phrase is necessary, too.

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):



Registration Details


  • Name: records
  • System Name:  records
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License v2 or later





Description:

Records mode allows (X)Emacs users to keep an online personal journal. Records indexes your personal journal by subject and date, understands web compatible links to a variety of documents, keeps track of TODO lists and operates as an editor and a browser.


Other Software Required:

emacs, GNU GPL, http://gnu.org/software/emacs


Other Comments:

Current maintainers gave up and I have been pronounced as the new maintainer.

records is currently hosted on sf.net but I do not like that; so my first act as the new maintainer is to register the project here.


Tarball URL:
