Description James Rowe 2005-04-18 10:42:30 UTC
x11-libs/fltk's LICENSE reads "FLTK GPL-2" where as the source 
distribution specifies FLTK and LGPL-2.  Technically not a big problem,
well not as much as if it had been the other way around(and you blindly 
trusted the ebuild), which is why I'm marking it as cosmetic.

  The attached patch changes this.

  While somebody is touching the ebuild perhaps they can remove the
installation of the nasty cat docs too?  Equally trivial patch attached.

New version is in bugzilla - post there. See bug 72556
Comment 5 James Rowe 2005-04-23 05:55:44 UTC
  Taking comment #4 in to consideration, I'm personally not willing to mark
this resolved this and add to bug #72556 for the license problem.  The license 
is broken in portage /now/, and that bug appears to be completely stagnant.
Comment 6 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-17 05:38:38 UTC
fixed 
Comment 7 James Rowe 2005-07-09 13:37:07 UTC
  For some reason both of the previously applied fixes[1][2] from this bug for 
fltk-1.1.4 failed to propogate to the 1.1.6 ebuild.

(Hopefully it isn't policy to create a new bug for things like this, I can't
really seem to find any examples either way)

fixed... as for policy, it really doesn't matter as long as the job is done :-)

  Thanks.  And I agree, but if policy does exist I don't want to willingly 
violate it.
