Hi,

We did not get a response from you, so we deleted your project from the pending queue.

If you would still like to have your project hosted at Savannah, please register it again.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgment of your earlier registration will direct you to the proper location where you can re-register your project.

Regards.

Hi Andrew,

If everything works if you take out generics, then please take them out and also verify that everything is working in a Free Software Java environment.


Also, Sun Java (all current versions 1.4-1.6) has not been released under the terms of the GPL yet. A release under the terms of the GPLv2 is planned for Java 1.7. Please see http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/JavaIssues for more information on this topic.


Please note that we do not allow to host your project on Savannah and SourceForge at the same time, if Savannah is just a project mirror.
Your project development should happen primarily on Savannah.

Let me know once you have fixed the licensing problems in your project and where to obtain an updated tarball so I can re-evaluate the project.

Regards,

Stephan

The current release runs fine on GCJ if i just take out generics.
 I thought that my submission had just fallen through the cracks earlier,
because of the delay, so i made a sourceforge.
I will put the licenses on it, and make it GCJ compatible before I put up the server though :).
I thought that sun java WAS GPL now, someone told me, was that wrong?
The project name on sourceforge is figs, ill switch to savahah once i add the license info.
Thanks for your time :)

Hi,
 
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah. While doing so I have noticed a few problems which are described below.

First of all I would like to let you know that I am sorry for the huge delay you have been facing. If you do not want your project to be hosted at Savannah anymore, please let me know.


Secondly, you must determine whether your project can run on a Free Software Java suite (see http://www.gnu.org/software/java/ for more information).

We recommend you to test your project using GCJ and GNU Classpath, and ensure that your Java code runs on this Free Software Java suite.

GCJ is the GNU Compiler for Java, part of the GCC (GNU Compiler Collection).  The Classpath project aims to develop a free and portable implementation of the Java API (the classes in the 'java' package).

More information is available at http://gcc.gnu.org/ and http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/ .

Also, some additional information, especially regarding the fact that neither Java 1.4, 1.5 nor 1.6 have been released under the GNU GPL, is available at http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/JavaIssues.

Please provide us with more information about this point.


Additionally, In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the GNU GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long.

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.

If some of your files cannot carry such notices (e.g. binary files), then you can add a README file in the same directory containing the copyright and license notices. Check http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for further information.

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.


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,

Stephan

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):



Registration Details


  • Name: FIGS
  • System Name:  figs
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License V2 or later





Description:

FIGS (Free Intellectual Games Server)
Current code: http://www.mediafire.com/?0gn4vfjjynt
   The aim of this project (long term) is to make a cross-platform FOSS stable server that it is easy to add games to (with a focus on turn based, full information, little-no luck, strategy games), and a graphical client for it.  It will be released under the GPL, and hopefully recognized by GNU.  Both the server (and my client) will be written in java.  Currently I have 1.  A relatively simple multi-threaded server that allows users to log on, chat, seek games, and play many variants of chess; a client that uses AWT to communicate with the players; And an abstracted model of many chess variants (18).  My development plan is as follows:
1.  Attempt to debug some graphical glitches associated with AWT in the client, and add functionality for the rest of the chess games (ex: the four player ones).
2.  Add a user profile and rating system using MYSQL, and make a simple web page using PHP for user registration.
3.  Add support for go, and variants thereof.
4.  Clean up and document my code, and debug enough for a 1.0 release.
5.  Start up the server! (I already have a host)
6.  Start work on an API for users to add new games, continue other server development.

I am currently the only developer, with some help from KD19 making the code compatible with GCJ.  I am not actively seeking other people to help on the project yet, but if some wish to I would not be averse to it at all :).


Other Software Required:

EITHER:
Sun Java 1.4-1.6 (now GPL :) )
OR
GCJ (Note uses AWT, but my friend said worked fine on it)

FUTURE:
Will require MYSQL for player database, and java libraries for that.


Other Comments:

KD19 may have already submitted something related to this, if so please use this submission instead please.
