Done at: https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/39 I think a bundled lib is a header file or some other sorf of copylib (with or without modifications). Shedskin is only copying one function, which is deeply implemented into shedskin and not called in a header file, so this doesn't comply with my 'definition' of a bundled lib... So thanks for giving me the advice of asking FPC (wouldn't have done that otherwise, to be honest...). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
