Hi Robert, I fail to understand you as I already said in the bouncycastle bug you filed. What makes you think that this is a Fedora bug? EPEL is not a part of Fedora. Thanks. There is no pdftk component in EPEL 6 available, that I could use to file this report against. Finally, this is Jochen's choice, not yours... ok. good luck. tahnk you for your interest for pdftk on EL-6. I may try to introduce pdftk on pdftk but unfortunately there are serveral packages which are dependencies of pdftk which are not provide in EL-6, so I have to ask the owner of this packages to build them to EL-6. I know, I already opened several requests at dependent packages, but I did not yet discover the whole path so far... Hallo, At first sorry for the long delay. Unfortunately, during the try to get pdftk into EL-6 I have got the issue, that packages which are requires for iText need the maven infrastructure to get built. EL-6/RHEL6 doesn't contains the maven build system infrastructure, so I was unable to solve your request. Now we have got the issue, that we can't use the system iText library for pdftk on f-17 caused by changes of the openjdk/gcj infrastructure. So I have created a bundled library exception request to FPC which should allow me to use the iText library which is bundled with pdftk. This may give me the chance to solve your request for inclussion of pdftk into EL-6. Best Regards: Jochen Schmitt This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19 This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.

This bug is actually for EPEL6. Can someone really change the version to match? I don't think that's possible. pdftk is gone from Fedora, along with GCJ. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-March/196367.html Reassigning against EPEL 6 is not possible, because the package is not yet in EPEL (no Bugzilla component available). But EPEL != Fedora and RHEL 6 is indeed providing GCJ - and given that we never heard back from the bundling exception request that Jochen mentioned...let's keep this open. I have some users requiring pdftk on the CERN Public login service currently based on SLC6.
Any chance that pdftk will be ever built for EPEL 6 ?
Many thanks &
Best regards ...Ignacio...
You can grab the last SRPM and try to build it yourself, I suppose. It might need some extra work. I don't have any knowledge about the policy for EPEL packages that are discontinued in Fedora. Maybe ask in their mailing list? This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora23 This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. 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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life.

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. Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
