Hi Uwe Mayer,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.
Our policy doesn't accept names with 'Linux' in the name, because this
will produce some confusions in the user, maybe you could change it
for another one, if you do not want to change we will have to reject
your project.
I reviewed the source code that you submitted and you have the
Copyright and License notices missing in all the .ui files and in the
.mng file, consider to fix this. If you cannot include a proper
Copyright and License notice inside of any file, consider to create a
file called 'LICENSE.kind-FILES', and put here the proper Copyright
and License notices for those files.
If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide
us with an URL to an updated tarball of your project. Upon review, we
will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.
Regards,

###### ORIGINAL SUBMISSION DETAILS ######
System Group Name:

lmc
Full Name:
----------
Linux Movie Catalogue
Type:

non-GNU
License:

GNU General Public License V2 or later
Other License:

Description:
------------
The project I'd like to publish is called LMC (GNU/Linux Movie Catalogue)
and is primarily a port of the Windows program AMC (Ant Movie Catalog) by
Antoine Potten, released Open Source under the GPL v2.
AMC:
http://www.antp.be/software/moviecatalog
"primarily", because I intend to change a few things or add some features.
LMC is a graphical tool written mainly in Python and Qt (using PyQt) which
manages a collection of movie CDs/DVDs to store media properties as well as
title information. To do that it relies on backends like trancode (tcprobe)
to scan movie files or scripts (currently only one in Perl) which query movie
databases on the internet for title information /picture, etc.
The project uses autoconf and automake to build the system.
You can download a working copy of LMC from:
http://www.master-ai.uni-karlsruhe.de/~merkosh/lmc-0.2.tar.gz
The basic things are working, i.e. saving, loading, adding records, removing,
query IMDB, scan file with tcprobe, so it can be used, but not all intended
features are yet implemented.
Other Software Required:
------------------------
None known.
I might tackle porting the "Pascal Script" scripts used by AMC to download
information from online databases, using Free Pascal or Kylix, or whatever
works and is available on my Debian ;).
Other Comments:
---------------
I am aware that there is a similar project, XAMC
(http://home.gna.org/xamc/), which is also hosted by Gna!. LMC and XAMC were
developed independently from eachother and do not share a commen line of
code. However, I was inspired by XAMC to take up work on LMC again and
release it. Bevore that I tried to communicate with the author of XAMC, but
it seems the project is not under construction any more and my version was
already farther than the one for download for XAMC.
Also: I applied at Gna! for hosting this project. However, there is a problem
with LMC containing "Linux" in the program name, which might lead to confusion
about the GNU/Linux operating system. I would rather not having to find
another name, if Savannah's hosting policy allows that.
Last, the tar-ball of LMC v0.2 yet contains one animated gif. This will be
replaced by an animated .mng in case the project name does not pose a
problem.

The current version of lmc has advanced from release 0.2 to 0.3.1. The tar-gz
ball is attached below.
The issue with the containing .gif has been settled, an animated .mng is now
used instead.
