Comment 2 Fabian Affolter 2011-06-02 16:35:37 UTC

ext-date-lib is include in this package. This is not allowed according to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines [1]. Your description claims that this is just a wrapper for the PHP internal timelib module, so this module should be a BR or a runtime requirement.

Comment 3 PRABIN KUMAR DATTA 2011-06-02 18:59:40 UTC

@Fabian:
 Here the ext-date-lib is not a prebuild-binary package and source code of ext-date-lib is attached with the timelib package by upstream.

"I am still in the basic level of package maintainer's level"

Can you kindly explain me why this is not allowed according to the
Fedora Packaging Guidelines?

Comment 4 PRABIN KUMAR DATTA 2011-06-02 19:23:23 UTC

On IRC channel #fedora-devel <gholms> has explained me.

I am sending a mail upstream with the hope that they will resolve this issue.

Comment 5 Fabian Affolter 2011-06-30 05:57:54 UTC

Any news from upstream?

no, sorry. that is IMHO the packager's job.

Currently, I don't have sufficient time to edit the code.

Comment 7 Matthias Runge 2012-03-24 19:00:48 UTC

Any progress here?
