Hi,

I have approved your project as non-GNU. You will receive an automated e-mail containing detailed information about the approval. If you would like to offer your project to the GNU project, please contact the GNU Eval team, following the instructions at http://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html .

Hello.
The source code, with your copyright notice above, looks fine, but please include also a line (at first) which says:
"<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>"

Can you mail the updated file again? Thanks.

Regards,

Sebastian Wieseler <kickino>

Hello.

In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of ``shuffle.c''.

In addition please include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL, available from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt, into a file named "COPYING".

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.
To learn why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code, for example,
see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude.

Can you please mail the updated ``shuffle.c'' or (better) a tarball to me or attach this file on the tracker item?

Regards,

Sebastian Wieseler <kickino>

Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

Can you please mail ``shuffle.c'' to me or attach this file on the tracker item?

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to catch potential legal issues early.

For example, to release your program properly under the GPL you must include a copyright notice and
permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every file of source code.  This is explained in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help catch potential omissions such as these.

Regards,

Description:
------------
  I am proposing the addition of "shuffle", a program which randomizes the contents of files.  It is a potential canidate for addition to coreutils. I have no URL for code, which is why I'd like to host it on savannah; the code is contain in  a single file, shuffle.c, with the following incudes:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <libgen.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <getopt.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>



Other Software Required:
------------------------
  GNU libc


Other Comments:
---------------
  I would like to use Savannah as a place to review the suitability of shuffle for addition to coreutils. Some discussion has taken place on the bug tracking list already. Even if shuffle does not become a part, I think there is merit to having it as a separate project, as it is relatively new functionality.
