[debian-mysql] mysql-workbench-gpl_5.2.31a-1_amd64.changes REJECTED

[Alexander Reichle-Schmehl]

Hi maintainer(s)!

I'm sorry, but I have to reject your package.  Our tireless ftp-trainee
found quite some remarks:

Several Win32 binaries come without source:
  ext/cppconn/win/registration/mysql_ca.dll
  frontend/windows/MySQLWorkbench/Dependencies/DockPanel/*.dll

Most other files are (C) Oracle and/or its affiliates although several files
are (still) copyright Sun Microsystems Inc. or MySQL AB.  These often just
state "All rights reserved" and do not included the usual GPL notice.

Several files are not included in the copyright information:
  images/*:
    readme states CC-BY-3.0. Trademark restrictions might apply to selected
    images.
  library/tinyxml/*, library/vsqlite++/*, res/fonts/*, ext/python/pexpect/*:
    See source files.
  frontend/windows/ScintillaNET/FlagsDesigner.cs:
    (C) G Himangi; license unknown
  res/scripts/*:
    Several files are released under the LGPL.
  ext/scintilla/cocoa/*:
    LGPL-2.1+ as an alternative to the Scintilla license.
  ext/scintilla/lexers/*:
    Additional copyright holders that are not mentioned in debian/copyright.

yassl (in ext/yassl) seems to be GPL-2+ (not just GPL-2) plus FOSS exceptions.

The years of copyright for Google CTemplate also include 2006-2009.

MySQL Connector/Python is released under the same terms as the C++ Connector.

Several C# source files state "This code was generated by a tool." I'm not sure
how they can be regenerated.

library/forms/swig includes files generated by swig, but these are not
regenerated during build (the package does not build-depend on swig). It would
be nice to have them built from the real source.

Why is the architecture limited to i386 and amd64? All dependencies seem to be
available for other architectures as well.

Please consider moving arch independent files to an additional package.  The
databse included in /usr/share/mysql-workbench/modules/data/DocLibrary alone is
8 MB large.



Note: ext/cppconn/win/Bitmaps/InstConfIcon.exe is identified as "MS Windows
icon resource - [...]" same as the *.ico files. I assume GIMP or some other
program can be used to edit it, but have not verified it.



Best regards,
  Alexander, ftp-assistant
