Subject: [RFC] Remove pdftk and gcc-java
Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2016 07:23:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <795a9a16-8d5a-b041-ae41-3001511cc716@gmail.com> (raw)
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?
