#1215 Source code bundling exception for cinnamon
Closed None Opened 10 years ago by misc.

All details are on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868492

Cinnamon do bundle the whole source code of alacarte, a gnome menu editor in python. There is potentially forked code. I guess we cannot convince upstream to drop that fork, but still, the policy requires to have FESCO approval for that.

The current cinnamon maintener seemed to express a lack of interest into fixing the issue and asked me to open a ticket to FESCO after confirming it was still a issue due to EOL message :

{{{
13:01:10| leigh123linux> misc: hi, if this issue bothers you that much please file a ticket at fesco are any other interested party https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868492
}}}

So here it is.


Clem has just listed this in his roadmap

{{{
+ cinnamon: consider using "XDG_MENU_PREFIX=cinnamon- alacarte" instead of cme
- coordinate with upstream to get cme improvements into alacarte
}}}
