Description Peter Robinson 2026-09-23 08:35:01 UTC
SPEC: https://pbrobinson.fedorapeople.org/python-coremltools.spec
SRPM: https://pbrobinson.fedorapeople.org/python-coremltools-9.0-1.fc44.src.rpm

Description:
Use Core ML Tools (coremltools) to convert machine learning models from
third-party libraries to the Core ML format. This Python package contains
the supporting tools for converting models from training libraries such
as the following:

* TensorFlow 1.x
* TensorFlow 2.x
* PyTorch
* Non-neural network frameworks:
  scikit-learn
  XGBoost
  LibSVM

With coremltools, you can:

* Convert trained models to the Core ML format.
* Read, write, and optimize Core ML models.
* Verify conversion/creation (on macOS) by making predictions using Core ML.

After conversion, you can integrate the Core ML models with your app using Xcode.

Please add at least pyproject_check_import https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_tests

Please wrap it on 80 characters.

I think you miss licenses declared in NOTICE.txt. And there are several files in deps/ directory that uses various licenses. I did not yet check if the code is actually using it or you unbundled it.
I run:
  scancode --license --license-references --html /tmp/output.html .  && firefox /tmp/output.html
to check the licenses.

I've added it but still disabled as it tests against tensorflow and some other bits we don't have (yet) in Fedora. Looking through those to disable explicit tests or fix. Updating this quickly for the rest of the updates.

Fixes, thought I had them all in 80.

I unbundled, I put an explicit rm in prep now. Also note vendor note here: https://github.com/apple/coremltools?tab=contributing-ov-file

But the https://github.com/apple/coremltools/blob/main/NOTICE.txt still mentions files directly in coremltools that uses different license.

> But the https://github.com/apple/coremltools/blob/main/NOTICE.txt still mentions files directly in coremltools that uses different license.

I ran scancode over the prepped (with all the various removals) and it reported all as the BSD license. In the NOTICE.txt which uses terms like "content adapted from file XXX" so I'm unsure exactly how you report that license as and would love feedback on that as IANAL there for that interpretation.
