Hi,

The relicensing of the documentation is fine, so I have approved your project.  You will receive an automated e-mail containing detailed information about the approval.

Also, please remember to update your COPYING file and add a copy of the GFDL to your works, as per my original comment.

Regards.

I talked to the two people who made significant
contributions to fastjar.texi.  They are willing
to relicense it to be GFDL provided that there
is no cover section and no invariant sections.
Does this meet with your approval?

Hi,

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.

Hi,

I'm afraid Savannah only accepts documentation licensed under the GFDL.

If it is possible for the documentation to be relicensed by the author (Matthias Klose) under the GFDL or dual licensed under the GPL and GFDL, then we would be able to accept the project.

Regards,

I don't own the manual in question.  The original author
explicitly did not put it under the GFDL, but rather the GPL:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-07/msg01283.html

If this is unacceptable, please let me know, and I will
find a different hosting service.  Thanks.

Hi,

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

For manuals, we allow only GNU FDL version X or later, or other licensing which is compatible with that. Would you agree to license your documentation under GNU FDL Version 1.2 or later?

In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the GFDL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements after the title page of each work.

In addition, please add a copy of the FDL (available from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html in various formats) as a section of your works.

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html#SEC4

More information on this policy is available at https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=4303

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

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

Please update the copy of the license (the 'COPYING' file) in your package.

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

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
The project account will remain inactive until a site admin approve or discard 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.nongnu.org/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=8422>


######### REGISTRATION DETAILS #########

Full Name:
----------
  fastjar

System Group Name:
-----------------
  fastjar

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software & documentation

License:
--------
  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  fastjar is a 'jar' utility.  jar is like tar, but uses
a zip format.

The sources to the version of fastjar we plan to import
are currently in the GCC svn repository.  See the
gcc/fastjar directory:

http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/fastjar/

We are moving this project out of the GCC repository
at the explicit request of the GCC SC and RMS.



Other Software Required:
------------------------
  The only dependency is zlib, but that is in all the distros
I know of.


Other Comments:
---------------
  It would help if this project's creation were expedited, so
that we can remove fastjar from the GCC svn repository more
quickly, without disrupting users too much
