I am submitting this with the hope that the new owner (rishi) and potential sponsors will still review it and give me some feedback and credit and possibly sponsor me. Spec URL: http://www.sourcesink.com/www/fedora/libical.spec SRPM URL: http://www.sourcesink.com/www/fedora/libical-0.31-1.fc9.src.rpm Description: Reference implementation of the iCalendar data type and serialization format This is an update to the existing libical package. Previous version: 0.30 This version: 0.31 Spec file has gone through careful review to meet the guidelines of the Fedora project. I noticed a few things which were not proper during the process. rpmlint shows now warnings or errors for both the spec file and all 3 generated binary rpms. The tar file included is NOT the same as the one on the sourceforge site YET. The only difference is the removal of the .cvsingore files which were causing rpmlint warnings. I have communicated this change to the co-maintainers of libical (yesterday) and sent them a link to the new file. I am hoping they will choose to update sourceforge with the new tar ball. Testing: Local mock builds on my own machine targeting Fedora 9 and Fedora 10 succeed Koji builds of all platforms for targets Fedora 9 and Fedora 10 succeed. Local build of osmo (osmo is the only Fedora 9 pkg to declare a dependency on libical) - There is a known run-time issue though (I have notified the Osmo owners and osmo pkg owner: rishi) This issue is fixed in SVN according to the owner of the code The code is going into freeze and there will be a new release shortly Local build of citadel (an bbs/forum application) Citadel has no rpm in fedora repositories but it does use libical Buildinf Citadel succeeds - did a quick install and seems to function Did not do extensive testing but did communicate with the citadel maintainers (the same ones who maintain libical) and they indicated that the code should be fine. Other interested parties: A number of other projects are using libical but have forked the code for various reasons. I have contacted the following projects informally on irc. + Gnome Evolution + Mozilla Thunderbird Gnome Evolution (contact through irc, a bug comment and email) has a strong interest in going back to depending on the official copy of libical. The citadel web site lists some other previous users of this library that it seems have now forked - I too hope to see a re-merging back to one copy of the code. -- 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, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
