Summary: Review Request: calc - Arbitrary precision arithmetic system and calculator https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227570 ------- Additional Comments From mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx 2007-09-05 21:00 EST ------- I'm working on packages for calc-2.12.2. This upstream release removes the questionable md5 code and, bonus, dynamically links libraries. Should be ready real soon now. In the meantime, you can look at the packages in the link at comment 13 -- if the release number starts with "0", there are known problems (and probably unknown ones) that I'm still working on (but review comments are still welcome). Right now I have it with an option in the spec file which, if "1", converts from LGPL to GPL and links with readline. This is intended to be temporary -- right now, the code is such that there's not a good distinction between the command-line utility and the library. In theory, all readline-dependent functionality could be split out from the library and only the command-line calc program linked against that; then we'd have LGPLv2 for the libs and GPL for the actual program. But that's for the future. Personally, I really value having real readline support (the built-in alternative is nothing close) more than having the libraries LGPL, but upstream really wants the basic libs to be LGPL, which is an understandable position. So I'm taking suggestions for how to set the flag by default. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/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
