From 4ec21777230e64d116a3f8afe30301c0941e249d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Patrick=20L=C3=BChne?= Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2022 18:01:29 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Fix license identifier in Debian packaging MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This fixes an issue with Debian packaging, where the license identifier “mit” isn’t accepted anymore. This replaces it with “expat,” which refers to the exact same license, the different name only considered necessary to clearly identify this license. Some argue that the term “MIT License” is ambiguous, as it may refer to two different versions of the license text. (Both of them only have a very subtle difference though, where X Consortium trademarks may be mentioned or not.) However, the Debian folks apparently now dropped the “mit” identifier entirely, forcing users to choose the more specific identifier “expat” instead or “custom” if it doesn’t fit. --- updater/packaging/debian/Makefile | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/updater/packaging/debian/Makefile b/updater/packaging/debian/Makefile index a8e8eb95..965dc494 100755 --- a/updater/packaging/debian/Makefile +++ b/updater/packaging/debian/Makefile @@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ all: clean cd $(BUILDDIR) && \ export DEBEMAIL=$(EMAIL) && \ export DEBFULLNAME=$(MAINTAINER) && \ - python /usr/bin/dh_make -p $(PKGNAME)_$(PKGVERSION) -i --native -c mit -y && \ + python /usr/bin/dh_make -p $(PKGNAME)_$(PKGVERSION) -i --native -c expat -y && \ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -d -us -uc mkdir -p $(PKGDIR) mv $(BUILDDIR)/../*.deb $(PKGDIR)/
