[opendmarc-users] Packaging opendmarc for Debian/Ubuntu

[Scott Kitterman]

After delay for a variety of "I'm busy", technical, and process reasons, 
opendmarc is in Debian experimental (it is too late for it to be part of the 
next Debian release, Wheezy, but I'll prepare a backport for Wheezy once it's 
released, so Debian users should expect to have access to maintained packages 
for Wheezy and later releases.  The package should build on the current Debian 
release, Squeeze, but I haven't tested it and don't intend to support it.

It will shortly be in the Ubuntu development release (Raring Ringtail - Don't 
look at me, I don't make these things up).  I will backport it to the latest 
long term support release, 12.04.

Feedback for upstream on the packaging experience:

The package structure/tools are similar to opendkim, so dealt with the 
opendkim package, opendmarc was easy to understand and package.  There were, 
however, two issues:

1.  The tests require network access to run.  This is fine for me for local 
builds, but the official distro builders do not have network access, so any test 
that relies on network access will fail.

It would be nice if the tests could be made to work with just local data so I 
can run the tests on the official builds (Debian has over a dozen processing 
architectures and testing at build time is the only realistic way to catch run 
time portability issues - I have a long email to write to the opendkim list 
about that).

2.  The license for docs/draft-dmarc-base-00-02.txt is different than the rest 
of the package (for obvious reasons).  In order to distribute it, we need a 
copy of the license shipped in the source tarball.  I've manually fixed 1.0.1, 
but it would be nice if you could ship it in the docs directory in the future.  
I made a text version of the license which you may want to use (attached).

Thanks for opendmarc.

OWF_CLA_1-0_Copyright_Patent.pdf which has been added to the source
tarball for this package.

   Open Web Foundation

   Contributor License Agreement (CLA 1.0)
   (Patent and Copyright Grants)

   1. The Purpose of this Contributor License Agreement. This CLA sets forth
   the terms under which I will participate in and contribute to the
   development of the Specification.  Capitalized terms are defined in the
   CLA?s last section.

   2. Copyrights.

   2.1. Copyright Grant. I grant to you a perpetual (for the duration of the
   applicable copyright), worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free,
   copyright license, without any obligation for accounting to me, to
   reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform,
   sublicense, distribute, and implement any Contribution to the full extent
   of my copyright interest in the Contribution.

   2.2. Attribution. As a condition of the copyright grant, you must include
   an attribution to the Specification in any derivative work you make based
   on the Specification. That attribution must include, at minimum, the
   Specification name and version number.

   3. Patents.

   3.1. Patent Non-Assert.

   3.1.1. The Promise. I, on behalf of myself and my successors in interest
   and assigns, irrevocably promise not to assert my Granted Claims against
   you for your Permitted Uses, subject to the terms and conditions of
   Section 3.1. This is a personal promise directly from me to you, and you
   acknowledge as a condition of benefiting from it that no rights from me are
   received from suppliers, distributors, or otherwise in connection with this
   promise. This promise also applies to your Permitted Uses of any other
   specifications incorporating all required portions of the Specification.

   3.1.2. Termination.

   3.1.2.1. As a Result of Claims by You. All rights, grants, and
   promises made by me to you under this CLA are terminated if you
   file, maintain, or voluntarily participate in a lawsuit against me or
   any person or entity asserting that its Permitted Uses infringe any
   Granted Claims you would have had the right to enforce had you
   signed this CLA, unless that suit was in response to a
   corresponding suit first brought against you.

   3.1.2.2. As a Result of Claims by a Related Entity of Mine. If a
   Related Entity of mine files, maintains, or voluntarily participates in
   a lawsuit asserting that a Permitted Use infringes any Granted
   Claims it would have had the right to enforce had it signed this
   CLA, then I relinquish any rights, grants, and promises I have
   received for the Specification from other signatories of this CLA,
   unless a) my promise to you was terminated pursuant to section
   3.1.2.1, or b) that suit was in response to a corresponding suit first
   brought by you against the Related Entity.

   3.1.3. Additional Conditions. This promise is not an assurance (i) that any
   of my copyrights or issued patent claims cover an implementation of the
   Specification or are enforceable or (ii) that an implementation of the
   Specification would not infringe intellectual property rights of any third
   party. Notwithstanding the personal nature of my promise, this promise is
   intended to be binding on any future owner, assignee or exclusive
   licensee who has been given the right to enforce any Granted Claims
   against third parties.

   3.1.4. Bankruptcy. Solely for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11,
   United States Bankruptcy Code and any equivalent law in any foreign
   jurisdiction, this promise will be treated as if it were a license and you
   may elect to retain your rights under this promise if I (or any owner of
   any patents or patent applications referenced herein), as a debtor in
   possession, or a bankruptcy trustee, reject this non-assert.

   3.2. Patent License Commitment. In addition to rights granted in 3.1, on
   behalf of me and my successors in interest and assigns, I agree to grant to
   you a no charge, royalty free license to my Granted Claims on reasonable
   and non-discriminatory terms, where such license applies only to those
   Granted Claims infringed by the implementation of my Contribution(s) alone
   or by combination of my Contribution(s) with the Specification, solely for
   your Permitted Uses.

   4. No Other Rights. Except as specifically set forth in this CLA, no other
   express or implied patent, trademark, copyright, or other property rights
   are granted under this CLA, including by implication, waiver, or estoppel.

   5. Limited Opt-Out. I may withdraw my Contribution by providing written
   notice of that withdrawal within 45 days of submitting that Contribution.
   Notice of a Contribution withdrawal must be made, at minimum, in writing
   using the same communication mechanisms that were used to submit the
   corresponding Contribution and must include the exact material being
   withdrawn. Upon providing such valid notice, any obligations I incurred
   under this CLA for that particular identified Contribution will be null and
   void.

   6. Open Web Foundation Agreement ("OWFa") version 1.0 Execution. I
   acknowledge that the goal of this CLA is to develop a specification that
   will be subject to the OWFa version 1.0. While I have no legal obligation
   to execute the OWFa version 1.0 for any version of the specification being
   developed under this CLA, I agree that the selection and terms of the OWFa
   version 1.0 will not be subject to negotiation.

   7. Antitrust Compliance. I acknowledge that I may compete with other
   participants, that I am under no obligation to implement the Specification,
   that each participant is free to develop competing technologies and
   standards, and that each party is free to license its patent rights to
   third parties, including for the purpose of enabling competing technologies
   and standards.

   8. Non-Circumvention. I agree that I will not intentionally take or
   willfully assist any third party to take any action for the purpose of
   circumventing my obligations under this CLA.

   9. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimers. I represent and warrant
   that 1) I am legally entitled to grant the rights and promises set forth in
   this CLA and 2) I will not intentionally include any third party materials
   in any Contribution unless those materials are available under terms that
   do not conflict with this CLA. IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS MY CONTRIBUTIONS ARE
   PROVIDED "AS IS." The entire risk as to implementing or otherwise using the
   Contribution or the Specification is assumed by the implementer and user.
   Except as stated herein, I expressly disclaim any warranties (express,
   implied, or otherwise), including implied warranties of merchantability,
   non-infringement, fitness for a particular purpose, or title, related to
   the Contribution or the Specification. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE
   TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS OR ANY FORM OF INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
   INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER FROM ANY CAUSES OF
   ACTION OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THIS CLA, WHETHER BASED ON
   BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE,
   AND WHETHER OR NOT THE OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
   POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. All of my obligations under Section 3 regarding
   the transfer, successors in interest, or assignment of Granted Claims will
   be satisfied if I notify the transferee or assignee of any patent that I
   know contains Granted Claims of the obligations under Section 3. Nothing in
   this CLA requires me to undertake a patent search.

   10. Definitions.

   10.1. Bound Entities. ?Bound Entities? means the entity listed below and
   any entities that the Bound Entity Controls.

   10.2. CLA. ?CLA? means this document, which sets forth the rights, grants,
   promises, limitations, conditions, obligations, and disclaimers made
   available for my Contributions to the particular Specification.

   10.3. Contribution. ?Contribution? means any original work of authorship,
   including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that I
   intentionally submit for inclusion in the Specification, which is included
   in the Specification. For the purposes of this definition, ?submit? means
   any form of electronic, oral, or written communication for the purpose of
   discussing and improving the Specification, but excluding communication
   that I conspicuously designate in writing as not a contribution.

   10.4. Control. ?Control? means direct or indirect control of more than 50%
   of the voting power to elect directors of that corporation, or for any
   other entity, the power to direct management of such entity.

   10.5. Granted Claims. "Granted Claims" are those patent claims that I own
   or control, including those patent claims I acquire or control after the
   Date below, that are infringed by Permitted Uses. Granted Claims include
   only those patent claims that are infringed by the implementation of any
   portions of the Specification where the Specification describes the
   functionality causing the infringement in detail and does not merely
   reference the functionality causing the infringement. Granted Claims under
   this CLA exclude those patent claims that would be infringed by an
   implementation of the Specification if my Contribution to that
   Specification were removed.

   so long as all required portions of the Specification are implemented.
   Permitted Uses do not extend to any portion of an implementation that is
   not included in the Specification.

   10.8. Related Entities. ?Related Entities? means 1) any entity that
   Controls the Bound Entity (?Upstream Entity?), and 2) any other entity
   that is Controlled by an Upstream Entity that is not itself a Bound Entity.
