--- Comment #2 from Jerry James <loganjerry@xxxxxxxxx> ---
Mario, thanks for the comments.  I've looked into gf2x's use of exit().  It
occurs in one place, where it is a sanity check.  That is, exit() is called
only if internal data structures are in an inconsistent state.  This is not
good, of course.  It would be much better to return some kind of error code to
the caller.

On the other hand, I don't see how to fix this easily without changing the
library's API.  I will write to upstream and suggest that they change their API
to report the error to the caller instead of calling exit().  But I would like
to proceed with this review, regardless, since this issue is not required to be
resolved by the Fedora Packaging Guidelines.  (I think; at least, I can't find
where it is even mentioned in the guidelines.  Correct me if I am wrong.)

New URLs for a new upstream version:
Spec URL: http://jjames.fedorapeople.org/gf2x/gf2x.spec
SRPM URL: http://jjames.fedorapeople.org/gf2x/gf2x-1.1-1.fc18.src.rpm
