Where/Who is the maintainer of this package to begin with? There are too many
problems with this package!
1. The wrong license is mentioned in the v1.3 package. It says "License: LGPL
v2.1 or later; Other uncritical OpenSource License."
It is neither LGPL v2.1 nor "Other uncritical OpenSource license", whatever
that means. It's as I mentioned before, Attribution 3.0
2. There are _three_ separate packages in the official repo:
A. sbig-1.3-10.1.i586.rpm
B. sbig-firmware-1.0-93.1.noarch.rpm
C. sbig_x86_64-1.3-10.1.x86_64.rpm
Why would you create a separate name for x86_64? While my packages are:
sbig-2.0.0-80.1.i586.rpm
sbig-2.0.0-80.1.x86_64.rpm
And they install everything, including the firmware, required to get the CCD up
and running.
3. The v1.3 package does not conform to OpenSUSE shared library naming rules,
it only contains libsbigudrv32.so, while my packages built with OBS conforms to
those rules.
4. The udev hotplug scripts are outdated and wouldn't work even in 10.3, let
alone 11 and 11.1
5. I'm the upstream developer of the library using this binary blob (KStars &
INDI), and I do have the actual hardware (CCD) to insure that all works as
expected in ALL supported distributions, including 10.3, 11, AND factory.
If all the points above are not convincing enough to replace the obsolete v1.3
with v2.0, then I don't know what is.
