Hi,

I approved your project.

Note that very small files (< 10 lines) do not need, or even cannot be copyrighted.
If you want to cover them with the GFDL, you need to add the full text of the GFDL as a section of the document. Which is why http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices.html recommends an all-permissive license for small works :)

I have published a new version (0.0.6)
I hope it has better GPL compliance.

You can download it from:
http://www.sf.net/projects/copyblock

I have also attached the source tarball of this version.

Hi,

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


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 file of source code.

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.

Description:
------------
  copyblock is a very simple command line tool which can work in 2 ways.

1) it reads from a regular file or a block device and writes to stdout, it can detect zeroed areas and write sparse files, maximum read size can be specified (useful when reading block devices containing iso filesystem)

2) it reads from stdin and write to a block device or regular file, sync write can be forced (useful when writing into slow devices and wanting to have good progress and eta)

In both modes "copyblock" writes to stderr info about progress and estimated time to complete.

Files and block devices larger then 4GB are supported.

I have tested it on Linux (i386 and x86_64) and on NetBSD (i386)
