The ...time that you will wait for the rpm, you can use our 3rd party package:
ftp://download.asso-linux-online.fr/download/packages-mlo/Mageia/3/x86_64/core/curlew-0.1.20.3-0.1.mga3.noarch.rpm

Please stop that.. suggesting third party repos/packages will most likely break upgrades. If that third party group can package it then why not package it officially in Mageia?

Hi,


Given the license of soft curlew, it was decided to not import it into the Mageia distribution.

See the license (It is a religious license):

http://ojuba.org/wiki/waqf/license

I am the first disappointed because I wanted to import it on Mageia, sorry.

I think we can close this bug.
