Spec Name or Url: http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/FuzzyOcr.spec SRPM Name or Url: http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/ Description: FuzzyOcr is a plugin for SpamAssassin written by Christian Holler and Jorge Valdes. It is based on the OcrPlugin written by Maarten de Boer, but has been heavily modified and improved to the point that it bears little resemblance today. Perhaps this should be called spamassassin-FuzzyOcr? Installed somewhere else? Seems to be the first separately packaged SpamAssassin module that I can see.
FYI, SME Server (RHEL4/CentOS4 compatible distro) is currently testing and packaging FuzzyOcr - cvs is here: http://smeserver.cvs.sourceforge.net/smeserver/FuzzyOcr/ http://smeserver.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/smeserver/FuzzyOcr/F/FuzzyOcr.sp ec I'm sure our spec file is not up to Fedora extras standards, but just letting you know it's there - for comparison to your version. I googled and other distro's seem to use naming like: perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-Plugin-PluginName ...but that seems too long.
Also requires perl-MLDBM and gifsicle according to: http://fuzzyocr.own-hero.net/wiki/Installation-3.x Rpmforge packages perl-MLDBM: http://svn.rpmforge.net/svn/trunk/rpms/perl-MLDBM/perl-MLDBM.spec SME Server packages gifsicle: http://smeserver.cvs.sourceforge.net/smeserver/gifsicle/
New version 3.5.0-rc1 additionally requires perl-MLDBM-Sync, perl-Log-Agent and perl-Time-Hires. http://fuzzyocr.own-hero.net/wiki/Downloads http://fuzzyocr.own-hero.net/wiki/Installation-3.5.x
Still there Orion? Maybe someone else that is looking at this would like to help with getting the required perl modules into Extras. Maybe get the attention of Fedora's perl SIG somehow... In 3.5.0-rc1 perl-Tie-Cache is also needed (enables some functionality in MLDBM- Sync - not in Extras - rpmforge packages it currently). It has a few dependancies - perl-Tie-Cache-LRU (not in Extras - rpmforge packages it currently), perl-enum (not in Extras - rpmforge packages it currently), perl- Carp-Assert (in Extras). Our cvs is updated with a spec file for 3.5.0-rc1 (on EL4). Ignore the netpbm patches, you won't need them for FC6/7.
I'm afraid I'm getting swamped and I'm getting put off by how crappy gocr appears to be. If someone else want to drive this, I'd be more than happy.
ocrad is used more than gocr in the new version, and the scansets are configurable: http://fuzzyocr.own-hero.net/browser/trunk/devel/FuzzyOcr.scansets I don't blame you for becoming disinterested seeing as no one who could do a review has made a comment in 3 weeks. As a start, could someone please comment on the naming of this rpm?
spamassassin-FuzzyOcr is what I would name it if it were my package, but I'll leave this to the packager's discretion, as it is an obvious grey area.
Orion, we've updated our version to 3.5.1 (plus some fixes) and the spec file works with EL4 and EL5 now - should be good for Fedora6/7 too. http://smeserver.cvs.sourceforge.net/smeserver/FuzzyOcr/
Has there been any progress here? If Orion no longer wants to drive this submission, perhaps this ticket should be closed. If someone else wants to submit this package, they can open a separate ticket.
Setting NEEDINFO; I will close this ticket soon if there is no response.
Adding dependency on gifsicle.
New version here: http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/spamassassin-FuzzyOcr.spec http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/spamassassin-FuzzyOcr-3.5.1-1.src.rpm * Tue Jul 10 2007 - Orion Poplawski <orion.com> - 3.5.1-1 - Update to 3.5.1 - Change Requires to packages, add gifsicle - Get install from smeserver spec One issue looks like that 3.5.1 does not support SA 3.5.X which is in F-7. May need to make a version based on SVN for those releases - or should I move to svn right now for all releases.
You could name it 3.5.1 and add the SVN changes as a patch - you can get that from the upstream's trac. Eg: http://fuzzyocr.own-hero.net/changeset? format=diff&new=131&old=125&new_path=trunk%2Fdevel&old_path=trunk%2Fdevel Revision 125 was 3.5.1 You can see a summary of all the changes here: http://fuzzyocr.own-hero.net/log/trunk/devel
What is the status of this bug?
I'm afraid I've lost interest and time. If someone else could take over, that would be great.
