Please provide a copy of the license with the source

i forgot the link of the package review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=636819

As the main author of current gnome-exe-thumbnailer, I didn't thought about the licence yet, but I supposed it should be GPLv3 all the time. Only a few lines of original code which I found somewhere on ubuntuforums.org (specifically the main part of that awk voodoo) now remains in 0.6-0ubuntu1.

Scott Ritchie is reviewing the brand new, yet unreleased version at this moment, which came with lot of bugfixes and new features as "Vista" icons support and basic .msi files thumbnailing with version number label from extended file properties (more reliable version number from ProductVersion MSI property will came in next version).

I will ask Scott (I suppose he would be reading this anyway) to hold the release for a moment and include the proper license. If You please could wait for that, You would get the license with that release.

Gnome-exe-thumbnailer is my first project that gets packaged, so I'm not too much experienced with things like that yet.

Thanks for Your understanding

Jan

I just checked the package and found /usr/share/doc/gnome-exe-thumbnailer/copyright. So the license exits and is LGPL 2.1 (I'm pretty fine with that). Can this be used for packaging in Fedora?

I mean exists, not exits. Still there is a good reason to wait for new version though.

a copy of the license itself should be included with the source code, not just it's name.

as mentioned in the copyright file:
"You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License
    along with this program."

thank you for your help, i will wait for the new release.

I suppose this is fixed in maverick.

Ah, maybe not, since the changelog for this is only in the lucid backport.

Argh, too early, sorry. Comment 6 shows that it's fixed in maverick.

Accepted gnome-exe-thumbnailer into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

SRU verification for Lucid:
I have reproduced the problem with gnome-exe-thumbnailer 0.2 in lucid and have verified that the version of gnome-exe-thumbnailer 0.7-0ubuntu1~lucid1 in -proposed fixes the issue. The License file LGPL 2.1 is included in the sources og g-e-t 0.7.

Marking as verification-done
