2In order to santize e2fsprogs to be DFSG free, the file
3draft-leach-uuids-guids-01.txt has been removed.  It can be obtained
4by downloading e2fsprogs from the upstream sources.  It may also be
5available from other sites on the network, if you do a quick web
6search for the string "draft-leach-uuids-guids-01".

8Note that debian/rules is set up to include the file on Ubuntu
9systems, so for people trying to build e2fsprogs on Ubuntu systems,
10they should start from the upstream sources, and not the
11Debian-expurgated sources found in the Debian repository.  (n.b., for
12WIP releases the command "./util/gen-tarball ubuntu" will help create
13tar file which is appropriately named to make life easier for
14dpkg-buildpackage.)  Since Ubuntu doesn't have the DFSG restrictions,
15the documentation which has been removed for Debian's DFSG license
16purity shouldn't be denied to Ubuntu users.
