.flv file without corresponding source

[Zygmunt Krynicki]

The data/websites/Flash_Video.flv file has no source code.

Doing some archeology in lp:checkbox/legacy I found:

      checkbox: move current checkbox code into checkbox-old

      This patch cleans up the top-level directory of the project into dedicated
      sub-project directories. One for checkbox-old (the current checkbox and all the
      associated stuff), one for plainbox and another for checkbox-ng.

      There are some associated changes, such as updating the 'source' mode of
      checkbox provider in plainbox, and fixing paths in various test scripts that we
      have.

      Added sample data for firefox testing and sample webpages to test against with various embedded media. Moved firefox.txt tests into user_apps.txt.in and edited each to point to /data instead of pointing at outside sources. This was done to avoid failures when run inside a network without internet access while still testing the browser and default plugins. The ONLY changes made to the previously merged tests was to change the target from remote to local and edit the text accordingly.

This is kind of blocking our Debian packaging. I've added an override with this bug report as comment but I don't know if that will fly.

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

19:33 <@zyga> bladernr_: do you know if we still ship that flv on ubuntu?
19:35 < bladernr_> zyga: no, BUT here's the original found on archive.org: https://archive.org/details/UbuntuIsHumanity

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

This is apparently copied from http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/example-content

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

The copyright file there doesn't mention the .flv file though

[Jeff Lane  (bladernr)]

the flv file itself is a clip from /usr/share/example-content/Ubuntu_Free_Culture_Showcase/UbuntuIsHumanity.ogv

We (well cr3) created the .flv file to avoid putting the entire original ogv file into trunk.

the flv file is NOT a full copy of the video, but rather a short clip from it.

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

We don't have a way to fix this right now and it's not a critical problem by any chance. The lintian override in the source package refers to this bug so if anyone from the Debian community wants to reopen this then we'll leave this bug here for tracking purposes.
