Source: libstroke
Version: 0.5.1-7
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 12.5

The Debian policy manual says:

"In addition, the copyright file must say where the upstream sources
(if any) were obtained, and should name the original authors."

but the libstroke copyright file just says:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the debian package of libstroke. The gEDA sources were downloaded
from http://www.etla.net/. The package was created by Hamish
Moffatt, March 1, 1999.

This software is released under the GNU General Public License,
version 2; please see /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL on your Debian
system. libgeda is released under the GNU Library General Public License
(LGPL), /usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, the URL is incorrect (http://www.etla.net/ is an almost empty
web page with no links, without any mention of libstroke). Moreover,
the original authors are not named.

Concerning the URL, it might be changed to:

  http://etla.net/libstroke/

but this page is obsolete (in particular, the contact link leads to
a 403 Forbidden error).

Now, this library is dead upstream (latest version in 2001, with an
autoconf incompatibility since 2002, affecting the build of other
software, still not fixed). Perhaps it would be better to remove it
from Debian, and make packages no longer depend on libstroke.
