Source: jhove Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainers,
Debian has missed a few upstream releases of jhove. Trying to package the current production release myself, I have encountered a few obstacles and managed to resolve most of them. Please find a series of patches including the changelog below. They apply to master at: https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/jhove.git Unfortunately, I have not managed to build jhove for unstable but had to install libjsonp-java version 1.1.2-4~exp0 from experimental. This is because libjsonp-java 1.1.2-4~exp0 exports jars whereas 1.1.2-3 exports a bundle and I have not figured out how to build jhove against that bundle (I am not a java developer). Perhaps you have a suggestion how to resolve the dependency in unstable, otherwise we would have to depend on the experimental version of libjsonp-java and hope that it will make it into unstable. Either way, it would be nice to have a current version of jhove in Debian again. By the way, upstream seems to be preparing a new release shortly and I am pleased to find that v1.28.0-RC2 builds just fine on Debian with the aforementioned experimental version of libjsonp-java too. Finally, I wonder if jhove could be included in the main distribution again. Upstream sources are repackaged without JAR files and non-free ICC profiles now. Please see the patches for further details.
