You are using a snapshot release.  Isn't the date missing in the release tag and the changelog entries?

Comment 4 Fabian Affolter 2011-01-04 17:07:57 UTC
I'm unsure about the name of this package. It's an application that is written in Python and they call most parts just orange.

Comment 5 Howard Ning 2011-01-04 17:12:38 UTC
Yes it is missing but it is not the major issue. The name is OK because it is called this in their debian package. Orange is another software. The real problem of this package is bundled library. I really appreciate if  anyone can look into this problem.

*** Bug 666529 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 7 Stjepan Gros 2011-01-11 17:28:49 UTC
I also created package for orange not knowing that it was already done. Anyway, I don't insist on packaging orange so the Ning can use anything he finds usefull from my try. And I checked my package with rpmlint and there are no warning or error apart from rpath that I already described as potentially harmless in the bugzilla entry 666529.

Comment 8 Howard Ning 2011-01-11 17:38:54 UTC
python-orange has bundled library libsvm. It would be a major problem.

Comment 9 Matthias Runge 2012-03-24 18:30:42 UTC
Any progress here?

Comment 10 Howard Ning 2012-03-24 18:45:34 UTC
There is no progress on my side. I don't know how to strip the libsvm out of the source code without major hac.

Comment 11 Matthias Runge 2012-03-24 19:15:44 UTC
Ok, then I'd recommend to close this request and to open another when it's ready. You should ask upstream to fix this issue.

Comment 12 Joel 2013-03-20 21:09:25 UTC
This "page" indicates that orange has been modified to allow using external libraries for libsvm etc.

http://orange.biolab.si/trac/browser/orange/setup-site.cfg

Should just require applying a patch to setup-site.cfg to build against system libraries.
