Summary: Review Request: calc - Arbitrary precision arithmetic system and calculator https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227570 ------- Additional Comments From mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx 2007-07-12 15:35 EST ------- I've discussed that with upstream. I'd actually suggested one alternative (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=42360&package_id=34443), and the maintainer's lawyer's advice was that that was licensed in an unclear way which made it even more restrictive and less free. I just now discovered the mhash library, and perhaps code from that would be suitable -- or a future version of calc could just use the library directly. However, in a private e-mail, the author noted to me that since md5 has been show to have some weakness, he considers it not very important to have and even suggested just removing it to resolve the problem. So, following that advice seemed to be the best bet for now. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
