no gendaylit ???

Dear all,

my operating system is Ubuntu8.04, and install radiance use
apt-get install radiance and apt-get install radiance-materials
I think the installed radiance should be 3.8version.
Most radiance commands work well, but I can't find "gendaylit"? and the
feedback information in command shell is"sh: no gendaylit found", then I
search the "gendaylit" in the "usr" folder, find nothing. could anybody tell
why that?

thank you in advance,
ragards,
ZZ

Hi,

apt-get install radiance and apt-get install radiance-materials
I think the installed radiance should be 3.8version.

unfortunately it's not possible to distribute gendaylit via Debian and
Ubuntu as the license is not free:

* You may not include this software in a program or other software product
* without supplying the source, or without informing the end-user that the
* source is available for no extra charge.

* Don't even think of selling this software to other people, or
* distributing it commercially, that is strict and explicit no.
* This software is _not_ public domain, but copyrighted as
* noted in the copyright file.

If somebody manages to talk copyright owners into publishing it under a
proper license, I wouldn't mind to package it for debian.

Cheers,

Bernd

Didn't Debian have provisions for installing non-free software? Or have those been removed?

non-free is not part of Debian officially. While I'd probably package
something for non-free if somebody would ask me to do it, I prefer to
stick with free software.
