Bug Description

Binary package hint: apache2

Ubuntu (Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu) desktop users are using OpenOffice.org or Koffice for creating office documents, which means they will be generating a lot of files in the OpenDocument Format. Ubuntu's webservers, in this case Apache2 (in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf), should be configured to identify these formats at least generally.

Most general suggestion (one icon for all types):
    AddIcon /icons/odf.gif .odt .ods .odp .odg .odc .odf .odb .odi .odm .ott .ots .otp .otg .otc .otf .oti

One icon each for data and templates:
     AddIcon /icons/opendocumentfile.gif .odt .ods .odp .odg .odc .odf .odb .odi .odm
     AddIcon /icons/opendocumenttemplate.gif .ott .ots .otp .otg .otc .otf .oti

Very specific identification, one for each MIME-type:
     AddIcon /icons/odf_text.gif .odt
     AddIcon /icons/odf_spreadsheet.gif .ods
     AddIcon /icons/odf_presentation.gif .odp
     AddIcon /icons/odf_drawing.gif .odg
     AddIcon /icons/odf_chart.gif .odc
     AddIcon /icons/odf_formula.gif .odf
     AddIcon /icons/odf_database.gif .odb
     AddIcon /icons/odf_image.gif .odi
     AddIcon /icons/odf_masterdocument.gif .odm

     AddIcon /icons/odf_text_template.gif .ott
     AddIcon /icons/odf_spreadsheet_template.gif .ots
     AddIcon /icons/odf_presentation_template.gif .otp
     AddIcon /icons/odf_drawing_template.gif .otg
     AddIcon /icons/odf_chart_template.gif .otc
     AddIcon /icons/odf_formula_template.gif .otf
     AddIcon /icons/odf_image_template.gif .oti
     AddIcon /icons/odf_web_page_template.gif .oth

OpenDocument's MIME-types are already registered in /etc/mime.types which Apache2 reads.

At this point it doesn't matter so much which icons are used, it is enough to have any kind of identifying icon (that fits in with the system's themes) for the documents. If a starting suggestion is needed, then the following images and masks might be useful in creating the icon(s):
 http://www.catnip.co.uk/opendocument/odf-master.xcf
 http://www.catnip.co.uk/opendocument/graphics/odf_master.svg
 http://www.catnip.co.uk/opendocument/graphics/odf_master_color.svg

Please add an icon or icons indicating files found in the OpenDocument format.

A sample image:
 http://www.catnip.co.uk/opendocument/graphics/odf5odt-16x16.png

One quick way would be to make one icon, or maybe two (one for documents, one
for templates).

Images and masks which might be useful in creating the icon(s):
 http://www.catnip.co.uk/opendocument/odf-master.xcf
 http://www.catnip.co.uk/opendocument/graphics/odf_master.svg
 http://www.catnip.co.uk/opendocument/graphics/odf_master_color.svg

Many applications now support OpenDocument fully or on the way to full support:
     http://opendocumentfellowship.org/applications
Distros like Ubuntu now include documents in that format.
The EU and many member states are now moving to using the format.

There are also two ODF icon sets available at:
[http://www.catnip.co.uk/opendocument/icons/#apache]

These sets are in 20x22 size and 16x16 size to match the icons included with Apache in:
/usr/share/apache2/icons/
The project is welcome to use these to identify ODF files if it wishes.

It would be sufficient to have one icon for documents and another for document
templates.

However, keep in mind that IANA recognizes the individual formats and that
Apache already acknowledges many others.

This is great.

Is there a short recipe for applying debdiffs? Looking at the manpage, there appears to be a reference to debpatch {sic}. Presumably, debdiff is an analog of diff, and there must then be a corresponding debpatch, right?

 http://www.fifi.org/cgi-bin/man2html/usr/share/man/man1/debdiff.1.gz

Or is it more appropriate to wait for the new packages?

Your last debdiff looks better. Good work !

There are still some modification needed:
  * The Maintainer field needs to be updated. See
    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField.
  * There is a small typo in the changelog (around the breezy line). It
    should not be there.

Thanks for the debdiff. Things are improving every time.

There are still a couple of changes that are needed:
 * You've used the MOTU as the Maintainer. However, since apache2 is
   main, it should Ubuntu Core Developers.
 * The package doesn't build. It seems that there is an error around the
   chmod call in the rules file.

I'm afraid the license you've suggested is not acceptable for inclusion in Ubuntu.
If you could accept relicensing the icons under the apache license, we could even send them upstream and get them included in Apache. If that's not acceptable, please relicense them in a way that doesn't restrict their use to a specific purpose and make sure that you explicitly allow redistribution in both modified and un-modified form. That's the minimal requirements for us.

Thanks for your work so far!

That is not a problem - I've already forwarded the Apache size icons to the
Apache httpd project under their licence and completed the paperwork
required. What do you need from me for Ubuntu?

Regards,

Pete.

I'd argue it's against point 5 and/or 6 of DFSG:

http://www.debian.org/social_contract

You can't restrict the purpose for which it's used. By your license,
ihateopendoc.org (if there is such a thing) couldn't use the icons and that's
a restriction on the type of use.

The simplest thing to do is just to license it under the Apache Software
Foundation license. Then there's no possible issue.

Also, your web page should say the icons are copyright you and not trademark
unless you've actually registered trademarks and are legally entitled to the
mark.

Pete Harlow (peter-harlow) wrote :

The icons which are in the Apache sizes (20x22 and 16x16) are, as far as I
am concerned, under the Apache licence. I have submitted these to the Apache
project, and I have a CLA on file with the Apache Foundation. I'll modify
the web page to this effect later.

The trademark on my web page arose when I originally produced the icons in
discussion with the Opendocument Fellowship. During these discussions (which
should all be in the Opendocument Fellowship email archives) it was felt
that icons could not be copyrighted and should be trademarked instead.
Anyone can declare something as trademarked, in a similar way to claiming
copyright apparently - this is a different thing to a registered trademark I
am told.

Hope this helps.

I'm overall happy with this now. After the alpha release, I'll do a
quick test of it and if it goes as expected (it looks reasonable), I'll
upload then.

Please help us to refine our list of open and current defects; this is a mass update of old and inactive Bugzilla reports which reflect user error, already resolved defects, and still-existing defects in httpd.

As repeatedly announced, the Apache HTTP Server Project has discontinued all development and patch review of the 2.2.x series of releases. The final release 2.2.34 was published in July 2017, and no further evaluation of bug reports or security risks will be considered or published for 2.2.x releases. All reports older than 2.4.x have been updated to status RESOLVED/LATER; no further action is expected unless the report still applies to a current version of httpd.

If your report represented a question or confusion about how to use an httpd feature, an unexpected server behavior, problems building or installing httpd, or working with an external component (a third party module, browser etc.) we ask you to start by bringing your question to the User Support and Discussion mailing list, see [https://httpd.apache.org/lists.html#http-users] for details. Include a link to this Bugzilla report for completeness with your question.

If your report was clearly a defect in httpd or a feature request, we ask that you retest using a modern httpd release (2.4.33 or later) released in the past year. If it can be reproduced, please reopen this bug and change the Version field above to the httpd version you have reconfirmed with.

Your help in identifying defects or enhancements still applicable to the current httpd server software release is greatly appreciated.
