Upstream: "I don't have strong feelings about what is right. I have been trying to following GNU conventions in the Makefile, but the Java support is homegrown rather than automake-based. .so files are installed as versioned files, with symlinks. It seems reasonable to do something similar for .jar files; they're conceptually very similar. If the packaging guidelines say that .so and .jar files should be treated differently in this respect, I'd curious to know the reason for the seeming inconsistency. Maintaining binary compatibility between Kawa has not so far been a priority, which is why leaving the version number in the filename seems reasonable. I don't know if that qualifies for the "compatibility" exception. But if it is a problem I can modify the "install-jar" rule in the top-level Makefile.am. Possibly make it conditional." This is not an upstream issue but a packaging one. There's no reason why upstream should change to unversioned just because it doesn't make sense in Fedora.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. I tried to fix it, but app can't launch .

Package kawa seems to contain versioned jar files in %{_javadir} (/usr/share/java). Such versioned files cause problems for automatic requires generation and violate packaging guidelines[1]. List of subpackages and contained versioned jars kawa: /usr/share/java/kawa-1.11.jar There are cases where this can be a false positive. Most likely if: * your package is compatibility version and contains only versioned jars * your package has version in the name of jars that are part of package name Thank you, [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java#Filenames
