Description

IMHO, it shouldn't be moved to Extras (where I believe the license would be just as unacceptable, it is neither FSF- nor OSI-approved and doesn't fit either's definition of Free Software resp. Open Source), but reverted to lesstif (which should be in Extras, not Core, but that's unrelated to licensing). Why was the switch from lesstif to OpenMotif (towards the end of RHL time) made in the first place? In Ubuntu, ddd depends on lesstif2, not openmotif. I don't know about mesa-libGLw, but xpdf can be dropped if it can't be compiled with lesstif. FYI, see also Bugzilla Bug #203274 รข Review Request: lesstif - OSF/Motif(R) library clone I have filled Bug #203993 against openmotif to have parallel, that could be relevant here. Should this bug really block FC6? It seems rather short to me, I believe it would better fit in the FC7 time frame. It would be nice to have parallel installable packages ready when FC7 begins and rebuild everything/move to extras such that we have switched and put openmotif in a repo where it can be easily used by those who want it when FC7 gors out. This has been whacked. |
