[Luke Yelavich (themuso)]

Ok, I've done some inspection, and I've got things as good as I can packaging wise. Unfortunately, there is a large amount of Canonical code that has no copyright assigned to it, mostly in the qml code.

I will dig around on LP to see if I can determine who originally wrote the code for sed files, and it may be covered in debian/copyright already, but if I were an archive admin, I wouldn't allow this in as things stand.

Files are:
src/app/fileio.cpp
src/app/fileio.h
src/app/qml/AlternateActionPopover.qml
src/app/qml/CircularTransparentButton.qml
src/app/qml/ExpandableButton.qml

Please note that all contributors signed the contributor license agreement, so we can probably put these files under the same umbrella as the rest in debian/copyright (or add the copyright header in the source files directly).

The authors themselves should be all traceable from the bzr log.

[Luke Yelavich (themuso)]

The trunk branch is a reboot, and doesn't seem to have any history prior to 2014... There are some branches on lp from 2013, so I will dig around those to see if I can find the original committer of the various files.

Thanks for the pointers.

Built the above branch in my yakkety ppa and tested on a clean yakkety daily machine.

Do we have an FFE somewhere for this? I can upload, but want to be sure we have the paperwork in place.

[Will Cooke (willcooke)]

@ Luke - FFe here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1626457
Please go ahead and upload.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

In the future, please make bugs like this the same as the FFE -- it's very confusing to have two bug reports for the same issue.
