Re: New pacman is coming...
what does this mean to the normal user?
He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot.

Re: New pacman is coming...
define normal.
a normal user that doesn't build packages shouldn't see a difference, a normal user that builds packages should now include a license field in their packages.

Re: New pacman is coming...
BSD is a special case and cannot be included in the 'common' licenses pkg.
I can't see why this is a special-case. Can someone learn'd elucidate for a simpleton?

Re: New pacman is coming...
because each one has its own copyright line. Each BSD package should have its unique license stored in /usr/share/licenses/$pkgname.
That explain it?

Re: New pacman is coming...
- just goes to show - you really can't trust people to read the docs. I'd be so ashamed if I'd said that

Re: New pacman is coming...
Ah, I didn't realise that the BSD license was like that.
All right Dibble, chill out. I know you're trying to leapfrog Dusty's post count, but still...

Re: New pacman is coming...
Oh, I'm chilled right out - 3 months ago I would have been spitting with fury...after all I did write that doc and spent ages trying to get it approved while being generally ignored.
No wonder it took so long to get a new documentor - you write docs, no one gives a shit and then no one reads them properly! I don't mean just you aroo, you probably have no idea how much hassle this issue causes in the AUR.
