The *blacklist.txt files consist of lines in the following format:
original-package![libre-replacement]![ref]![ref-id]!reason-tag!short-description
where field values within [] are optional.
Fields Semantics:
* 'original-package' is the name of the binary package from Arch
* 'libre-replacement' is the name of the binary package that provides
and replaces the 'original-package', or empty if there is no
compatible replacement. The replacement must be compatible for use
by humans and scripts, e.g. fastjar is not a replacement for zip
although both solve the same problem. Packages in
your-freedom_emu-blacklist.txt are not meant to have a replacement.
* 'ref' is one of the keys in the first column in following table:
debian : http://bugs.debian.org/
fedora : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=
fsf : http://libreplanet.org/wiki/List_of_software_that_does_not_respect_the_Free_System_Distribution_Guidelines#
parabola : https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/
savannah : https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?
The URL in the second column in above table, when concatenated with
the value of the 'ref-id' field should form a valid URL pointing to an issue
reporting/describing the reason for the package being blacklisted.
We should prefer FSF refs, since they are easily available for other
distros. Hopefully some lines will move from parabola:X to fsf:Y with
the LibrePlanet wiki linking to the X issue on labs.parabola.nu.
NOTE: An empty 'ref' field is deprecated, and should become an error eventually.
* 'ref-id' refers to a reported bug on the tracker indicated in the 'ref' column
The URL in the second column in 'ref' table, when concatenated with
the value of this 'ref-id' field should form a valid URL pointing to an issue
reporting/describing the reason for the package being blacklisted.
NOTE: An empty 'ref-id' field is deprecated, and should become an error eventually.
* 'reason-tag' broadly categorizes the reason why the 'original-package' is blacklisted.
The primary use for these, is to identify issues that are relevant to all FSDG distros,
and may deserve discussion on the gnu-linux-libre mailing list. Other tags indicate
subtle problems introduced by Arch (e.g. not including required license text, adding
an avoidable dependency on a non-free package), or just branding or technical issues
which are peculiar to Parabola (e.g. carrying a custom pacman).
The acceptable reason tags are:
[nonfree]·······This package is completely non-free software; and can not be
liberated due to licensing, or lack of source code.
[semifree]······This package is mostly free, but contains some non-free software,
fonts, artwork, or documentation; and is a candidate for a
liberation recipe.
[uses-nonfree]··This package requires, recommends, or otherwise integrates, indexes,
or actively assists with downloading other non-free software.
[branding]······This package has branding items which needs adjusted for some reason
(e.g. it refers to "Arch" instead of "Parabola" in ways that could be
inappropriate for a derivative to present as it's own, refers to the
"Linux" operating system rather than "GNU/Linux", or has conditions
on the use of it's trademarks; which parabola can not meet).
[technical]·····This package cannot be imported from Arch because of
technical reasons, rather than freedom reasons; but
NOT related to freedom of privacy issues in the
package. This usually comes down to two things: it
must be recompiled against our version of a dependency
package, or it must be compiled from source, as we are
stricter about that than Arch is.
If this tag is present, then the 'libre-replacement'
column should always match the 'original-package' column.
[FIXME-package] This package has a free replacement, or could be built
in a way that is acceptable, but no one has done so yet.
NOTE: This tag is deprecated.
All entries should have a libre replacement, if possible.
[FIXME-description] Someone needs to provide a brief descriptive text.
NOTE: This tag is deprecated.
All entries should have a short-description.
NOTE: An empty 'reason-tag' field is deprecated, and should become an error eventually.
* 'short-description' breifly explains why the package is blacklisted.
NOTE: An empty 'short-description' field is deprecated,
and should become an error eventually.
