#41363 closed enhancement (fixed)

itstool: installs_libs no?

Reported by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt) Owned by: dbevans (David B. Evans)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.2.1
Keywords: Cc: cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)
Port: itstool

Description

Should itstool be marked installs_libs no? Would that be accurate? It's supported_archs noarch so I know it doesn't install any compiled libraries; it installs .its files, and I don't know if those are considered libraries or not.

Currently, some ports using itstool are not distributable, e.g.:

$ ./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v gdm
"gdm" is not distributable because its license "GPL-2" conflicts with license "GPL-3+" of dependency "itstool"

If it is accurate that itstool does not install libraries, then it should be so marked to get closer to distributability.

I think you are right here. The .its files that are installed with this port constitute the set of "built-in" rules that determine how various documents will be processed. AFAICT, they do not add any content to the processed files and can be added to, replaced or disabled by command line arguments.
