          Hi all,

                last April the following bug report was opened:

            https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=947457

            
            As I stated on bugzilla, metadata-extractor was just needed
            by JOSM.

            Updating metadata-extractor would break JOSM. Anyway I
            suggested to

            patch JOSM to use a newer version of metadata-extractor if
            he really

            needed it. I had no response at all.

            
            BTW, I am metadata-extractor maintainer, and not JOSM
            maintainer.

            
            This evening the submitter emailed me privately and I
            discovered that

            meanwhile, a new review request for a newer version of

            metadata-extractor was approved and now it is part of
            Fedora:

            https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1004563

            
            As I understand now, newer metadata-extractor is required by
            Apache

            Sorl and Apache Tika, which are not yet part of Fedora.

            
    wrong, Apache tika is already part of Fedora
    

    and for question of time only for import some new libraries for
    Wildfly 8.x
    

    was disabled a module (tika-parsers https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1019650)
    

    but is required also , by some Bigdata (hadhoop) packages
    
      
            He asked me to "exchange our repository" "to simplify some
            build with

            maven". And with that I presume that he would like to have
            his package

            called metadata-extractor because he has troubles to build
            sorl and

            tika.

            
    no i havent any trouble for me is the same
    
      
            I think all this have been handled very badly. He could have
            told why

            he needed a more recent version of metadata-extractor in the
            first

            place, the reviewer of #1004563 could have checked if the
            package

            followed the naming guidelines and/or have checked if the
            package was

            already in Fedora.

            
            I still think that my original plan (i.e. patching JOSM).
            was more sensible.

            
            What to do now? What do you think?

            
            If it helps, if it makes things easier, I can release the
            ownership of

            metadata-extractor and someone else can have good care. I
            just

            packaged it because, as an openstreetmap mapper, I longed to
            have JOSM

            in Fedora.
