Ralf,
Thank you so much for your observations. The tarball is just an svn checkout,
no repackaging.
Then let me rephrase it: Your tarballs violate the GPLv2.
The files you have mentioned are included by the upstream.
Right, but it's you who is tarring up their sources.
Anyway I will check it and discuss with them, also will compare with
the
latest SVN.
There actually are several issues at once:
- Them shipping Apache-v2-licensed works (android) bundled with GPLv2 licenced
works violates the GPLv2.
- Them bundling fonts and android code is a mistake.
Hope you have gone through my previous comments and change-logs, the
reason
behind the SVN version:
- The stable branch is not that much "stable" with all supported Fedora
versions like 13/14/15, specifically qt breaks.
- The bug fixes are been made to SVN and not porting properly back to the
stable release.
- Navit upstream also recommend to use the SVN version
- Since this project is very rapidly evolving users are very keen to test the
latest features and enhancements.
Conclusion: Will Switch back to stable after 1.0 release.
My conclusion: ATM, this
package is too immature for inclusion into a distro.
Maps are not on a separate package now, because:
- For quick testing, navit is very rapidly evolving.
Seems as if we are facing a
miscommunication:
I want you to package them as a noarch _subpackage_ of navit.
(With my FPC head on) You currently are shipping a big, optional data file as
part of an application package.
- People expect to see "some" maps quickly after the
installation
Yes, the way upstream currently is shipping maps is not really useful.
They
need to do something about it.
- The maps directory contains the POI icons as well, in different
formats -
xpm, svg, png etc, need to differentiate and repack all of them properly
Again, I
am talking about the actual map file.
Conclusion: Up to 1.0 we will keep this in the same package
Under these circumstances, you can consider this review failed.
