Hello. :-)

It is GPL conform to request a license/copyright notice in each file and there is no problem for us to put trivial scripts into the public domain (maybe you should make a short notice there that it was released under the Public Domain - for the files >10 lines).

Beside that, the tarball looks all right.
So I have approved your project.  You will receive an automated e-mail containing detailed information about the approval.

Regards.

Hi!

Hey. You eat GNUs. Too bad I'm a veggie. Maybe someday in the future I will be prepared to become a GNU eater :-)

Anyway the I-hope-to-be-fixed sources are available from:

http://zonk.sdf-eu.org/centrum-status_0.5-2.tar.gz

I have a question about a 10 line limit. I've just guessed it's not a hard limit so I didn't put a copyright notice in trivial scripts which has a few lines above 10 and could be easily reduced to have exactly 10 lines (formatting, put all assigments on one line, etc...). Hope it's ok.

And one more, please :-) There is written in GPL that it is sufficient to put a copyright line and a pointer to where the full copyright notice could be found. So I believe it's a Savannah policy to have it in each file? I don't mind. I'm just curious. Better safe than sorry :-)

Also I haven't written a documentation yet. Just an company-internal version which won't be published. So I just copyrighted an empty index.html file in doc/ and put FDL in doc/COPYING and hope there will be time to fill it with some information. Is it OK?

Thanks for your time.

Have an astonishing fortnight.

Arne

Hello.

Simply... we only eat GNUs :-)


We postpone you a little while... look forward to your source code.
Have a nice week.

Sorry for the latency. I'm changing jobs right now and I'm a bit short of free time. I believe it will get better soon.

The sources are nearly finished. I'll have them sent before the weekend ends.

Thanks a lot for the pointers about how to release my project. They were very helpful. And about references to readme etc. I unfortunately and headlessly copied it from another GPL'ed project which isn't so GPL'ed as I see now.

I'll post a new URL as I said.

Thank you and best regards.

PS.: how do you eat if you don't bite? :-)

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.

Hello.

At first, statements like "Questions about licensing to ../README" are invalid. You had to include the full licensing stuff (containing the permission-to-copy statements) INTO your source files!


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 every file of source code.

In addition, if you haven't already, 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.


But please notice that only a file above 10 lines need copyright and license notices!


At second, in order to release your project^Wdocumentation properly and unambiguously under the FDL,
please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements after the title page of each work.

In addition, if you haven't already, 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 , and as plain text in a file named 'COPYING' (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt).

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

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto.html also covers additional points,
including a smaller notice that you can use in auxiliary files.

Regards,

Sebastian Wieseler <kickino>

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

Please include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the source code or attach the source code to this tracker item.
The description you gave when registering will not be read by the general public.

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,

Sebastian Wieseler <kickino>

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/siteadmin/groupedit.php?group_id=8510>


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

Full Name:
----------
  remstats-ng

System Group Name:
-----------------
  remstats-ng

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

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

Description:
------------
  A fork of an already dead project Remstats in Python.

See http://remstats.sourceforge.net/release/index.html

I work in NetCentrum ltd. http://centrum.cz/. We use Remstats as our performance monitoring system. It works nicely except performance data collectors were obsolete for the current kernels. I've written a new remstats status server which we now intend to release it as a free software and keep maintaining it. It is compatible and works perfectly with remstats, however as the project is unmaintained, we intend to write remstats-ng which will be used together with this status server for the presentation of data. The tests that are implemented include: CPU (% in idle, system, ...), LOAD, UPTIME, NFSD, NFS, MYSQL, APACHE, MEMINFO, DISKSTATS and a few minor ones.

        Now only centrum-status-server is available together with configuration of remstats for the data being monitored. This could be used, as I said, together with the original Remstats. And the rest is in the planning phase.

        Project is already packaged in debian packages. And works for the network of approximately 120 hosts.

The whole graphing is build upon RRDTool.
