Post by Alfred M. SzmidtSavannah has a set of guidelines that are stricter than most other
hosting sites, if you cannot follow them that is fine, but then we
cannot host it on Savannah. These guidelines might change, so
sometimes maintainers will get asked to update their projects
accordindly. And sometimes issues are found post-fact, like in this
case.
well, when I call conflict and ask for moderation is not for not being
able to follow the GNU Savannah guidelines.
I'm glad to follow them, I encourage people at my surroundings to do
that saying that savannah is better than others because you are going to
learn how licensing software properly.
What I find difficult is following Ineiev's indications:
(obviously my point of view)
- use vague expresions as "many files has..." "some files has..." "Yes,
the copyright notices are OK (where they are present)" ...
- he sais "all are many" so when he sais many files, it can be ALL
files...
- he sais
Post by Alfred M. SzmidtBy the way, since you mentioned your earlier projects, I suggest that you should also check them and bring in compliance if needed.
But When I talked about my first projects? it was asking for help and
moderation, not in the task!
He has afterwards opened a task, and place a message in the submission
task saying: "This task depends on sr #109527."
Well, the only connection between the submission task and my first
project is me, so I feel obviously it has become personal.
Post by Alfred M. SzmidtSome files in your tarball still lack notices. If you are not willing or unable to follow Savannah policies, we'd better not register your package."
when I'm trying to follow guidelines, every criptic Ineiev's message is
answered the best I can with a source code fix.
Why this kind of menace?
So No, I don't feel he is doing a moderation work and I ask for help.
Post by Alfred M. Szmidtit seems it will never end and it's PROPAGATING to other project I
have https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/index.php?109527
The request is very simple, and it is applied for all projects on
Savannah. It should be very easy for you, familiar with the project,
to check that _all_ files carry proper license notices. The Savannah
reviewers don't go through every file, they only do a spot check that
things are looking good, so asking for the list of files is doing the
job that you as the maintainer of a project are responsible for.
well, the task doesn't say:
"check that all files carry proper license notices"
or easier " there are new files where you have forgotten the license
notice"
Post by Alfred M. SzmidtCarefully read Savannah hosting requirements. Evaluate Maimonides against them. Summarize the work done and the results for each criterion.
So, let me be didactic.
Carefully read Savannah hosting requirements. Visit your first Savannah project and evaluate it against them. Summarize the work done and the results for each criterion.
well, some kind of paternalist strange way of didactics. :-/
happy hacking!
