Spec URL:

SRPM URL:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/temp/shared-color-profiles-0.0.1-0.8.20091208git.src.rpm
Description:

The shared-color-profiles package contains various profiles which are useful
for
programs that are color management aware.
This package only contains the free profiles that can be safely distributed
with Fedora.

*** BIG FAT LEGAL NOTE ***
The SRPM ships with a lot of ICC profiles that we cannot use in Fedora[1] and
therefore I'm only installing the profiles found in ArgyllCMS which are in the
public domain. Other profiles will be added to the Fedora package in the future
only if they are free software, ack'd by redhat-legal. I expect the number of
manufacturers to relicence their profiles to CC-BY-ND or CC-BY-SA to be small,
but still significant.

The configure script defaults to only including the free profiles, not all of
them. I guess someone could take the srpm and build it in rpmfusion with
--enable-adobe --disable-argyll as shared-color-profiles-bad and it should
coinstall nicely. This means that the noarch file is only a few kb in size, but
the srpm is massive (13Mb). Worry not.

*** BIG FAT LEGAL NOTE ***

I want to make shared-color-profiles a hard dep on gnome-color-manager, as the
next version will have UI that defaults to either the Adobe compatible gamut or
the sRGB compatible gamut. This is required to make the UI feature compatible
with what there is in OSX and Windows 7. The fact that the
shared-color-profiles size is small also doesn't pose any issues if g-c-m is
installed on the LiveCD by default.

As an aside, if we ever hear back from the official ICC guys and fedora-legal
give us the okay, we can use the official ICC profile, rather than the public
domain one. Until then we're shipping the latter as it's 99% the same thing.
