Note: The bug "duplicate"d tracks the original submitters requests of upstream to make fedora specific changes to the upstream spec. Terje has since picked up this package, and the initial discussions and changes to the package are documented in the duplicated bug.
Re: SPEC: http://terjeros.fedorapeople.org/lshw/lshw.spec There is something a bit weird about the versions: the upstream Changelog log is calling this B.02.12, while the src and this spec, web site call it B.02.11.01. That's probably just an oversight.
yes, my mistake.
From:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageReviewProcess#head-f3a689ab03b01268036d...
"If the package is legally risky for whatever reason (known patent or copyright infringement, trademark concerns) close the bug WONTFIX and leave an appropriate comment (i.e. we don't ship mp3, so stop submitting it). Set the fedora-review flag to -, and have the review ticket block FE-Legal."
For an external trademarked logo, I believe you would have to get specific permission to use the logo in other settings/software. I don't think it would matter whether the image is an original from the owner of the trademark or recreated by an upstream project, it would still be content that can't be
included.
I'll ask on f-devel-l whether such logos would be permissible content.
Lyonel: if we aren't able to use other entities' trademarks, can lshw-gui operate if it can't find these images ? Would you be prepared to provide alternative non-trademarked content - eg an artistic rendering like the images of Apple boxes ?
well... there isn't much to do with USB/SCSI/firewire logos :-) (I don't think these ones can be problematic, AMD/Intel/PowerPC might be) in any case, lshw-gui can of course operate without the logos
I notice the the installed location is now /sbin. Is it the intent that gtk-lshw not be called through consolehelper, but lshw-gui is ? {I haven't experience in this area}.
* I think there is a mixup in the installation section: make install SBINDIR=/usr/sbin doesn't do anything. * shouldn't /usr/sbin be replaced by some %{value} (in .consolehelper)? * shouldn't /usr/bin be removed from .desktop launcher?
