SRPM URL: http://red.fedorapeople.org/SRPMS/poi-3.2-0.1.fc10.src.rpm
Description: The POI project is the master project for developing pure Java ports of file formats based on Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound Document Format. OLE 2 Compound Document Format is used by Microsoft Office Documents, as well as by programs using MFC property sets to serialize their document objects.

rpmlint on spec, srpm and noarch-rpms finishes checking without any warnings or
errors.

I'd still need a sponsor.

Comment 1 Sandro Mathys 2008-12-12 01:04:47 UTC
mock-(re)build failed due to some junit problem. I'll need some time to look into this.

Comment 2 Mamoru TASAKA 2008-12-15 15:07:04 UTC

reviewed.

Rebuilt on rawhide. Now using build-jar-repository.

* License issue
  Almost all files are under ASL 2.0, however

  - The following file is under GPLv3
    src/resources/scratchpad/org/apache/poi/hdgf/chunks_parse_cmds.tbl
    Would you check how this file is used?

  - The following files have some questionable (?) license
    terms:
    src/documentation/content/xdocs/entity/*
    Would you check how these files are used?

* Preshipped binaries
  - The source zip file contains many preshipped binary files
    such as .xlsx files. Would you remove these files?

* koji build
  - By the way rebuild failed on dist-f11:
    http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1016360

Would you update the status of this bug?

Comment 7 Mamoru TASAKA 2009-01-30 15:09:31 UTC
ping again?

Comment 8 Mamoru TASAKA 2009-03-09 16:55:34 UTC
I will close this bug if no response is received from the reporter
within ONE WEEK.

Comment 9 Sandro Mathys 2009-03-13 07:44:03 UTC
I apologize, I'm really short in time lately and this will probably not change until the second half of the year. (new job, searching a flat, moving in, a.s.o.)

Therefore, there's no update to this bug, I'm sorry. I know, that it's not a big thing to check with upstream about the licenses and the preshipped binaries (or to answer to this bug earlier) - but unfortunately, several little things add up to a big (i.e. time-consuming) pretty fast.

Anyone's welcome to help here or take this over if they wish to.

Comment 10 Mamoru TASAKA 2009-03-13 14:54:53 UTC
Okay, thank you for the reply anyway.

Now I once close this bug so that someone else can pick
up this review request. If you have some time again to
work with this package, please feel free to open a new
review request for this package.
