More information about the no bundled libraries policy is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries I saw some discussion of lzma-sdk on -devel. Where are we on this? This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle. Changing version to '13'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Ping? 3.05 is out, and I'd like to put it in rawhide, but I'd like to fix this at the same time. . . (In reply to comment #4) > Ping? 3.05 is out, and I'd like to put it in rawhide, but I'd like to fix this > at the same time. . . I can't see any chance to package lzma SDK as share libs. So In my point of view, it's acceptable to use bundled lzma SDK as a workaround until we find a way to package it as a static libs. lzma compression is quite important to upx. Jon, can upx 3.05 compile with latest lzma SDK(9.12)? (In reply to comment #4) > Ping? 3.05 is out, and I'd like to put it in rawhide, but I'd like to fix this > at the same time. . . Also F13 final freeze is coming soon, I suggest you to push upx 3.05 to F13 update-tesing ASAP. Toshio, what do you think the odds are of FESCO approving an exception? Would a Review Request for the lzma-SDK help? (In reply to comment #7) > Toshio, what do you think the odds are of FESCO approving an exception? Would > a Review Request for the lzma-SDK help? This guideline may help packaging lzma-sdk as a static library. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ajax/Static_Library_PICness_Guidelines But bundling lzma-sdk seems harmless and also bundling some code from other project is common in fedora packages even on some critical path packages. I'll make sure to bring that up in the FPC meeting tomorrow. Submitted lzma-sdk review. . . Jon, any updates on this? Awaiting word from Spot re Comment #40 of BZ 596461. Has Spot responded yet? Added spot to CC list. Legal issues on BZ 596461 are resolved. *** Bug 662732 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Any progress? Still working on the lzma-sdk review, hoping to finish it up shortly. Is there an update? See lzma-sdk review. This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Still valid, bumped to rawhide, anyone is welcome to do the review. :) In 596461, Jason is set to review once you approve the changes Spot had made. Approved by Jon in 596461 - asked Jason to review Fixed in rawhide. |
