Description Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2011-06-28 02:43:12 UTC
./dev-util/deskzilla/files/deskzilla_gentoo.license

Binary files should be distributed via distfiles. CVS (and in the
future, git) don't handle binary files well.

What the heck is this file anyway. file doesn't know, and less can't make any sense of it.
Comment 2 Serkan Kaba (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-10-02 20:09:40 UTC
Open source project license file to use it fully featured.
Comment 3 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2014-02-14 10:20:59 UTC
Ping. Any chance that this will be resolved? Should be easy to move the file to Gentoo mirrors.
Comment 4 Johann Schmitz (ercpe) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-03-01 16:15:50 UTC
Placed license on dev.gentoo.org, will update the ebuild once it's replicated.

Just fyi, if you drop it in your homedir and update the ebuild it automatically replicates and you can avoid the really icky manual file mirroring process.  Plus if you ever accidentally remove the ebuilds that point to the file, the file will be removed from the mirrors with no backup... if you have it in your homedir, you don't lose it accidentally.

+  02 Mar 2014; Johann Schmitz <ercpe@gentoo.org> +deskzilla-1.7.1-r1.ebuild,
+  -deskzilla-1.6.1.ebuild, -deskzilla-1.7.1.ebuild,
+  -files/deskzilla_gentoo.license:
+  Moved gentoo license from FILESDIR to mirror system (bug #373271)  Dropped
+  1.6.1 because the distfile isn't available on upstream servers
