Hi,

I have approved your project as non-GNU. You will receive an automated e-mail containing detailed information about the approval. If you want your project to be evaluated for inclusion in the GNU project, please contact the GNU Eval team, following the instructions at http://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html .

Regards.

Hi,

The tarball is 404. Can you reupload it, to your website or to this tracker (if < 500k)?

I've changed f(Dark Angel) to my real name in all source files
Copyright notes are added to the missinbg places, and address infos are corrected.

gens-debug is an abondoned project, and will not take place in freeconsole any more. libgen-test will be re-written, and sega_logo.S will be removed in the version that will be uploaded to Savannah.

Also, COPYING files are up-to-date.

you can get the updated tarball at http://openconsole.net/tmp/freeconsole.tar.bz2

I hope everything's ok now :)

Hello,

Your copyright notices contain "f(Dark Angel)". You should use your real name instead. Do not forget to add Copyright or (C) when mentioning the fact you are the author in source files (eg in lzss, libgen_skel).

Also, please add copyright and license notices to the pieces of documentation, such as man pages (we recommend the GNU FDL for this kind of work), as well as in .ld files and other places where they are missing (gens_debug, libgen_src).


The license of sega_logo.S in libgen-s is problematic because it cannot be used for commercial purposes (as far as I understood). Please remove this file - or at least do not depend or it nor upload it at Savannah.


Last, the address of the FSF has changed, and is now:

  51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA

Please update your license notices.

Please update the copy of the license (usually, the 'COPYING' file) in your package as well.

Updated versions of the GPL, LGPL and GFDL can also be found at:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.txt
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt

You can find some background and a possible migration script at https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=3766


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.

If you provide a single tarball this will speed up the process ;)

Regards.

That's ok, i'll have to move the project to freeconsole.org then.

> Please include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the latest source code.


Gladly. Source code packages are already available at the current site openconsole.net however.
Here's the list of the current packages (source code packages are avaliable at bottom of each page, as attachments):

Hi,

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


Savannah's mission is to host free software projects, and we want the public to think of them as free software projects.  A project name that says "open" will tend to lead people to think of the project as "open source" instead of "free software".

We would be glad if you accept to use "free" instead of "open" in your project name.


Please include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the latest source code.  The description you gave when registering will not be read by the general public.  If you are still concerned with privacy, however, you can forward the code to me by email.

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.

PS: I removed project demi from Savannah.

Description:
------------
  Open Console is a project dedicated to spread the word freedom to the console development communities. Major purpose of the project is:

-supply standard libraries
-startup (crt0.s) files & linker scripts for gcc
-binutils & gcc build scripts
-utilities for image/tile/map editing, data compression, file conversion, interactive disassembly, cpu simulation...
-documentation

The project is at crawling stage (http://openconsole.net), but it already has some stable releases (heavily targetting Sega Genesis at this stage). I'm eager move source trees (to cvs) & file releases under savannah.


Other Software Required:
------------------------



Other Comments:
---------------
  As a note to savannah hackers: i have registered a project called Demi, however, due to personal life issues + other on going projects (especially libgen http://openconsole.net/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=ProjectsSEGAGenesisLibGen), i'm apologitically saying that i couldn't have spent enough time for Demi to make stable release, therefore, haven't committed any files. I'd like the project Demi to be removed, because i'm planning to merge the project source tree under openconsole.

Regards.
