What would you suggest? Installing the copying-file doesn't make much sense imho, cause it's basically just the gpl. Upstream seems pretty sleeping atm (hopefuly not completely dead), if you want it resolved consider patching dosemu to skip the license agreement, but I don't think it's a very important issue. Beside that, the "accept gpl"-thingy is also happening in OOo. > What would you suggest? Installing the copying-file doesn't make much sense > imho, cause it's basically just the gpl. If you don't want to install the COPYING file, you can modify the source to point to $PORTDIR/licenses/GPL-2, or somewhat simpler, install a COPYING symlink to $PORTDIR/licenses/GPL-2. > Upstream seems pretty sleeping atm (hopefuly not completely dead), if you want > it resolved consider patching dosemu to skip the license agreement, but I don't > think it's a very important issue. I can understand that, so just having COPYING installed (whether as a file or as a symlink) is good enough for me from Gentoo's side. > Beside that, the "accept gpl"-thingy is also happening in OOo. I don't use OOo, but if I did and noticed it, I'd consider it a bug with that too. :) installing copying now reopen. how is this exactly supposed to be working when you can set PORTAGE_COMPRESS to e.g. "xz" and it ends up as COPYING.xz, and by default, COPYING.bz2 ? dosemu knows howto read <random compression format>? 'doubts it :) dosemu didn't actually show the license to the user, it merely told the user to read it. If the file is installed in a format that the user can read, I don't see a problem. But it looks like dosemu has since been changed not to prompt for acceptance of the license, so this is fixed either way, and the ebuild can go back to not installing the file at all :) $ equery f dosemu | grep -i copying /usr/share/doc/dosemu-1.4.1_pre20130107-r3/COPYING.DOSEMU.bz2 /usr/share/doc/dosemu-1.4.1_pre20130107-r3/COPYING.bz2 |
$ dosemu Please enter the name of a directory which contains a bootable DOS [ENTER = the default /usr/share/dosemu/freedos] Going to install your private DOSEMU-freedos files into the directory /home/harald/dosemu Enter an empty string to confirm, a new path (the files will then be installed in a subdirectory named "dosemu" under that new path), or "none" (without the quotes) if you don't want a writable C-drive. Creating symbolic link for bootdirectory as /home/harald/.dosemu/drives/c DOSEMU will run on _this_ terminal. To exit you need to execute 'exitemu' from within DOS, because <Ctrl>-C and 'exit' won't work!

However, that second problem is probably one for the dosemu folks, not one for Gentoo to sort out.
