Description Kent Perrier 2020-04-20 20:28:22 UTC

Description of problem:

Customer would like Red Hat to package and provide the Tesseract libraries and application with RHEL. Searching the RHEL packages for tesseract does not return anything

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Tesseract 4 https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract

How reproducible:

searching the modules and packages for RHEL 8 for tesseract on the portal does not return anything.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the download page for RHEL 8 in the portal
2. select modules or packages (both return the same results)
3. search for either libtesseract or tesseract


Actual results:

nothing is returned

Expected results:

packages for libtesseract and the tesseract cli tool should be listed

I tested tesseract 4.1.1-2.el8 using our (RHEL Desktop QE) new set of autotests.
See the results:

- https://desktopqe-jenkins.rhev-ci-vms.eng.rdu2.redhat.com/job/beaker-tesseract-develop/17/
- https://desktopqe-jenkins.rhev-ci-vms.eng.rdu2.redhat.com/job/beaker-tesseract-develop/18/
- https://desktopqe-jenkins.rhev-ci-vms.eng.rdu2.redhat.com/job/beaker-tesseract-develop/20/
- https://desktopqe-jenkins.rhev-ci-vms.eng.rdu2.redhat.com/job/beaker-tesseract-develop/22/
- https://desktopqe-jenkins.rhev-ci-vms.eng.rdu2.redhat.com/job/beaker-tesseract-develop/23/
- https://desktopqe-jenkins.rhev-ci-vms.eng.rdu2.redhat.com/job/beaker-tesseract-develop/25/

In short, all tests passed.
Basic functionality of tesseract is verified.
