Thank you for the review and the comments. I had mentally grouped these projects under the 'Copylib' exception for bundling libraries, but I do see your point. The jsbn scripts do not provide a formalized release, instead offering single files for download. There also does not appear to be a source code repository, so it would appear to be difficult to build a clean spec file from the upstream. The jshash utilities do appear to have a released zip file which could be packaged. By way of learning, and hopefully proving my value as a packager, I will make an effort to create packages for these. I would like to reserve the right to return and argue that the upstreams do not work well, and that it's fair to consider it a Copylib. But I will make a stab at creating a jshash package, and I will email Tom Wu (the jsbn author) to see if he would be willing to make files available that would lend themselves to packaging. There are some mechanical challenges with linking Javascript libraries, largely around path resolution and Apache configuration. Is there an example of a package that does this already? > [4] http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/jsbn/ > [5] http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5 > > Best Regards I will also look at the 'convincing' link and try to gain some karma that way as well.
