* [RFC] Remove pdftk and gcc-java @ 2016-07-15 7:23 Yaakov Selkowitz 2016-07-15 8:51 ` Marco Atzeri [not found] ` <d23021fe-90be-93fb-f677-ea760608b4b5@acm.org> 0 siblings, 2 replies; 3+ messages in thread From: Yaakov Selkowitz @ 2016-07-15 7:23 UTC (permalink / raw) To: cygwin-apps GCJ is practically dead these days, and it has been completely dropped from Fedora. For that reason I didn't bother porting gcc-java to x86_64 after seeing that work would be required to do so. The one package in the distro which still required GCJ -- namely, pdftk -- actually has licensing issues: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/legal/2011-June/001656.html https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-March/196371.html With the recent addition of qpdf for both arches (thanks, Marco!), I would like to remove pdftk from the distro, and gcc-java from gcc in the next build. Any objections? -- Yaakov Selkowitz ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
