Hi,

We are not interested in registering Alignak. We only wanted to register to use mailing list but we found something fitting our needs in a better way.

Regards

Hello,

Are you still interested in the submission of project 'Alignak' ?

If within two weeks there is no reply, this submission request
will be closed. You will still be able to register the project
again once you have the time to
deal with the registration issues.

Regards,
- Assaf

Hello,

As I explained before, to comply with GNU Savannah's hosting requirements,
EACH file must have a clear copyright statement and license information.

If you had created a new package all by yourself (i.e. wrote ALL files by yourself from scratch),
then adding mentioning the copyright and licenses for all files in a README file
would be been somewhat acceptable (though still highly discouraged).

But you are forking an existing package written by others.
So for example, the files I've listed before:
   libexec/external_mapping.py

Contains a AGPLv3 license notice, and a mention that "this file is part of Shinken".
But who is the copyright owner of this file?
I would assume that perhaps it is the "shinkin" project authors - but there is no way to know.

That is why, especially with a project is written by multiple parties, it is required that each file is clearly licensed and copyrighted.

PLEASE,
ensure all files have clear copyright statements and licensing information - either by your or by the upstream project.

Regarding the usage of "Linux":
In the files that I've listed (and perhaps in others), the term "Linux" is used in comments.
Those could and should be changed without affecting program execution.

Regarding excluding files:
If you intend to later add these files to Savannah (e.g. using git), then these files should not be excluded.

To continue with project evaluation,
please upload an updated archive (i.e. a tarball, containing all files, updated and not-updated) using the savannah web interface.

regards,

Any news about this?

Hi,

As you mentionned before I added a note in the README to specify the licence in file without it. Is it not enough?

My note is :

"Alignak is licensed under the Gnu Affero General Public Licence version 3 (AGPLv3). Unless specified by another header, this licence apply to all files in this repository"

For the linux vs GNU/Linux,
As far as I can see those are "variables" in configuration files and or in tests files.

I can just reupload the tarball without the /test directory, which is basically useless for Savannah (as I won't run tests from this source)

Is this good for you?

I'll reupload the file without test and small fixes if so. (https://github.com/Alignak-monitoring/alignak/compare/Enh_linuxvsgnulinux?expand=1)

Thanks !

Hello,

Thank you for the update.

There are still some source code files without a clear copyright statement or license notice (or both). Few examples are:
  install_hooks.py
  libexec/notify_by_xmpp.py
  manpages/generate_manpages.py
  setup.py
  test/alignak_tst_utils.py
  test/test_all_setup.sh
  test/test_http_client.py
  test/test_module_backcompatible.py
  libexec/external_mapping.py
  libexec/service_dependency_mapping.py
  libexec/link_xen_host_vm.py
  contrib/clients/TSCA/python/PythonClient.py
  alignak/bin/_deprecated_VERSION.py
  alignak/webui/bottlewebui.py
  test/test_deprecated_version.py

There could be others. Please ensure ALL source code files have a clear copyright and license information.

Regarding "linux" vs GNU/Linux:
All instances that refer to running under the GNU/Linux operating system should say "GNU/Linux". Instances that refer to kernel-specific function (e.g. a system-call) should say "Linux".

Few examples:

In 'etc/sample/hosts/srv-postgresql.cfg', the comment is "# This is a sample host for a postgresql server running under linux," - when the intention is that it runs under GNU/Linux operating system (unless it's a non-gnu but still linux-based system).
This repeats in many other CFG files.

In 'test/test_service_tpl_on_host_tpl.py', the comment says "The linux and http service should exist on the linux host" - since other comments near that line refer to "windows", I assume that "linux" here refer to the entire operating system which should be GNU/Linux, and not to the "Linux" kernel.

Hi there,

Since I did not have any feedback I'm uploading a new tarball

(file #34403)

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback. I attached a draft of file to specify the Licence in the whole project.

Tell me if this is fine for you so that I can integrate it upstream.

Moreover, can you point me some file with linux in it?
My grep mostly give me test files or etc files.
I've found only one or two occurences of linux that are worth correcting IMO (logging event and comments in python file)
Do we agree that there are not many occurences of Linux that need to be replaced by gnu/Linux ?

For multisite.mk I removed a lot of file in contrib because this directory is mostly a trash / draft place. It's on the Roadmap to clean this properly.

Let me know if you are OK with the file so that I can merge it in the develop branch (the one you looked at it)

Thanks,

PS : There is no official release of this project for now. I was planning to update tarball at every release on Savannah.

Hello,

Thank you for submitting a new project to host on GNU Savannah.

The project type "non-gnu" is correct: using GPL/AGPL license does not make an official GNU package.

project hosted on savannah must comply with the hosting requirements:
http://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php
http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/HowToGetYourProjectApprovedQuickly

Please add copyright statement and license notice to all files.
There are several python files and many cfg files which do not have one or the other (or both).
For non-source code files - if you can not embed a copyright and license information in the files, please add a README file with explicit information about the files.

Several files mention "Linux".
Linux is a Kernel, not a whole operating system. Please update the files and use the correct term GNU/Linux if the context is operating system and not Kernel-specific topic.
See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html and https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html .

The file 'contrib/install.d/multisite.mk' mentions "Open Source Components".
Please use "Free Software" to refer to software which respects Your Freedom.
For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html and https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html .


Please upload an updated archive to continue the submission process.

regards,
- assaf

I think I made a mistake in the Type of project : it's a Gnu software as it is AGPL Licence.

==========

Je pense avoir fait une erreur sur le type de projet : c'est un logiciel GNU comme c'est une licence AGPL
