Description of problem: the batik version used in Fedora is not up to date. batik will be used within scilab 5.0.3. Hence, it would be fine to update batik to the last version (at least in F-10)
Batik in F-9 and F-10 is up-to-date with the latest 1.7 release posted here: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/download.cgi
I don't see where it is mentioned it is still a beta. release should be >= 1 IMO. There are others problems with this package, one of them is that the source archive bundles jar files. This is forbidden by our guidelines. Current package: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=948273 [javac] 576 problems (576 warnings) Improved package: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=948813 [javac] 56 warnings The build.log looks very different, you might want to cherry pick some improvements. If you have something you don't understand with the changes I've made feel free to ask, I do think the spec can be even more improved. (some move are blind changes, they wasn't experienced enough, for example the -Dsun-codecs.present=false addition ) Patch for the spec file attached.
