| ljagielski1 | Hi, can anyone tell me whether multiverse is the right place for closed-source packages supported by third-party company like Opera Browser? | 07:42 |
| ljagielski1 | What I'm trying to find out is if this submitting such packages is feasible and if not, then if there is some more suitable place for that in Ubuntu | 07:44 |
| Rhonda | Doesn't opera offer their own repository for their package? | 07:46 |
| ljagielski1 | Rhonda: yes it does, but if it's possible to make it easie | 07:47 |
| ljagielski1 | sorry, if it's possible to have it in Ubuntu, then why not try | 07:48 |
| geser | ljagielski1: if they are freely redistributable they might fit into multiverse | 08:02 |
| Rhonda | I think that was the issue with respect to opera. They want to track the download amount and that means they don't allow redistribution | 08:04 |
| Rhonda | But my memory could be flawed. | 08:05 |
| ljagielski1 | geser,Rhonda: I think so, because repackaging that is done for other distros doesn't break agreement imo | 08:05 |
| Rhonda | Is there really a repackaging done, or do they just ship a download script which then does the repackaging for you? | 08:06 |
| Rhonda | i.e., do they ship the opera binary itself, or do they download it on installation of their repackaging package? | 08:07 |
| ljagielski1 | Rhonda: this doesn't look like download script https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Aruario%3Aopera&package=opera-stable | 08:11 |
| ljagielski1 | Rhonda: http://pastie.org/10189960 this is part of copyright with interesting lines | 08:15 |
| Rhonda | Ubuntu does also produce an embedded OS, not? | 08:18 |
| ljagielski1 | Probably this is in the copyright, not to cannibalize Opera embedded OS products | 08:24 |
| geser | you mean Ubuntu Phone and Snappy Ubuntu Core? | 08:24 |
| geser | I don't know if the repositories are split or shared and how the licenses applies if the repositories are shared with Ubuntu (desktop OS) | 08:25 |
| ljagielski1 | so filing a bug in Launchpad with needs-packaging is a good starting point? | 09:02 |
