Description Fernando Nasser 2009-05-11 21:50:51 UTC
Package needed for Maven 2.0.8

Spec URL: http://people.fedoraproject.org/~fnasser/saxpath.spec

SRPM URL: http://people.fedoraproject.org/~fnasser/saxpath-1.0-1.3.jpp6.src.rpm

Description: 
The SAXPath project is a Simple API for XPath. SAXPath is analogous to SAX
in that the API abstracts away the details of parsing and provides a simple
event based callback interface.

SRPM URL: http://people.fedoraproject.org/~fnasser/saxpath-1.0-1.4.jpp6.src.rpm

Has a fix to the License as suggested by Toshio.

Comment 2 Andrew Overholt 2009-05-14 13:29:27 UTC
I have only one item that needs a bit of feedback for pre-review:

- please add a URL for the POM file; is it acceptably licensed?

Comment 3 Fernando Nasser 2009-05-15 02:13:08 UTC
Hum, I really don't know if anyone ever thought of attributing a license to a POM.

The:

<project>
  <modelVersion>xxxx</modelVersion>
  <groupId>yyyy</groupId>
  <artifactId>zzzzzz</artifactId>
  <version>#####</version>
</project>

incantation is a standard template for a maven coordinate, I don't think one can attribute an IP claim to it.

As to the URL, there is none.  In this specific case this is a minimal POM  created for this RPM.

Comment 4 Andrew Overholt 2009-05-15 13:51:21 UTC
spot, can we get confirmation that .pom files are exempt from licensing and URL checks?  This will be an issue for a lot of these packages.

Comment 5 Tom "spot" Callaway 2009-05-15 13:55:15 UTC
Just for clarification, is a POM equivalent to a spec file for java?

It's like a spec file for maven builds.

Comment 7 Tom "spot" Callaway 2009-05-15 14:14:42 UTC
It would be nice if these were collected in a central upstream location, perhaps a git repo for "java POMs". From a legal perspective, I doubt these are copyrightable works, unless they have much more complexity than Fernando has illustrated.

So, for licensing purposes, I don't see any reason to worry about the POM files.

I *think* (this is from hearsay) that they're all in the maven's repo upstream.  But I really have no idea.

Thanks.
