Hello,
I'm working on packaging various docbook-utils for the Yocto Project - a
framework for creating custom embedded Linux distributions. As part of
our packaging process, we try to identify the license the package is
released under, and keep track of a hash of the license information.
Most commonly we use the COPYING file included with the sources.
In the case of sgml-common-0.6.3.tgz, the COPYING file is a symlink to
/usr/share/automake/COPYING (likewise for the INSTALL document). I could
not find anything else in the tarball that would serve to represent its
software license.
I realize this tarball was created way back in 2001, but if there is a
future version of it, including a real text file would be quite helpful.
Thanks,
Scott Garman

Scott,
I would be willing to restart managing the source code for this package, but I don't even have the account password at RedHat/SourceWare.org anymore, and I haven't been able to contact any admin there.
I know that sounds pretty stupid.

I'll arrange new sgml-common project pages on fedorahosted.org (this or
next week) ...

1) What about the docbook-utils project ?
it was a part of docbook-tools . Perhaps it was too ambitious to put everything under the roof of the docbook-tools. But I keep receiving some feedback about the docbook-utils scripts.
2) Ovasik, if you're at redhat, could you possibly retrieve my old password at docbook-tools project?

That would be great. I really appreciate your efforts.

I could request hosting for docbook-utils as well ... there are some
patches in Fedora which could be merged with yours and we could make new
release...

I would prefer moving it to fedorahosted - we could have ticketing trac
instance there and it is "more open" - you only need Fedora account and
it is easy to get one.

Fine with me. Who would take care of moving the "latest" source code there ?

I'll request the project hosting and Trac instance.
Once the ticket will be resolved, I could import docbook-utils-0.6.14
tarball content. Or do you have some different (or more recent)
docbook-utils source code version to upload into git (so we could start
with that one) ?
Greetings,
Ondrej

All I got is what I retrieved via anonymous CVS.
$ grep AUTOMAKE configure.in
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(docbook-utils, 0.6.14)
So I suppose I have nothing more recent than you. Go ahead.
