I don't like at all this dirty hack :
echo "include COPYING" >> MANIFEST.in
Packager including a license is totally wrong, you don't have right to do that.
If you want a source archive to bundle a license, you can send a patch upstream
asking to do that. But you are not allowed to do that yourself.
I totally agree with you on this. However, we had an almost identical situation
with the reviews of globus packages, where there was a LICENSE file in the root
of the tree and globus-* packages are made from the subbranches.
I defended to *not* include the license file but it was decided to manually
copy the LICENSE file (which is ASLv2) to each subbranch. For instance, see the
source extraction guide in
http://www.grid.tsl.uu.se/repos/globus/info/new/globus-ftp-control.spec
from
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=478922
The decision was made in the FPC mailing list
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2009-April/msg00042.html
I used
echo "include COPYING" >> MANIFEST.in
for consistency with that decision. I would gladly remove it if there was no
such decision.
What do you say about this?
