Description T.C. Hollingsworth 2013-08-23 04:13:39 UTC 
This package contains binary files that are typically excuted by the Flash
player or another similar program.

These files are not permitted in Fedora. [1]  Everything we produce needs to
be built from source. [2]

The offending file(s) shipped in this package are:
/usr/share/bugzilla/js/yui/connection/connection.swf
/usr/share/bugzilla/js/yui/swfstore/swfstore.swf

If these files are just a fallback for something that is now supported by modern
web standards like the HTML5 <video> element, please just remove the binaries.

If removing these files would seriously cripple your application, please let me
know so we can figure out a solution.

If you have any questions, please shout.  Thanks!

Comment 1 Emmanuel Seyman 2015-01-20 21:09:32 UTC 
I've added this to the bugzilla spec file in rawhide:

# Remove bundled binary files
rm -f js/yui/*/*.swf

which should solve this issue.
