May 17th 2010 in GNU Savannah task #10380: "Submission of
gnuprologjava".
Hi all.
>Let's not compound the mistake by denying a GNU project access to
>savannah, please.
For what I understand of
https://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php all projects wich
want to be hosted in Savannah must comply with those requirements:
both the GNU and the non-GNU projects.
>This is not right. Although admittedly it was a mistake,
>gnuprologjava was accepted as an official GNU project many years
>ago. Pavan, the new maintainer, is now doing the right thing for GNU
>by trying to move development off sourceforge and onto savannah, and
>eliminate the JDK dependency -- or perhaps he has already done
>so. (Have you, Pavan?)
Karl: I'ts fine if gnuprologjava runs on a fully free. I wouldn't
have rejected the project if this information were included in the
submission form, but it didn't; instead Pavan wrote "It was initially
developed using JDk 1.2" but nothing about another, free
implementation (I.e: "But now it's developed on IcedTea"). Based on
this project description, I rejected the submission because the Sun
JDK 1.2 isn't fully free (Nor are the current versions AFIK). I
appreciate your opinion as a longstanding free software volunteer;
please tellme what do you think I should do when the description says
it run on a propietary platform but not on a free one.
Pavan: If you develop and test gnuprologjava in a free software Java
implementation and it don't requires propietary software free feel to
resubmit the project, but this time please don't forget to say what
free implementations can run it ;-).
