    Hi all,
        last April the following bug report was opened:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=947457

    As I stated on bugzilla, metadata-extractor was just needed by JOSM.
    Updating metadata-extractor would break JOSM. Anyway I suggested to
    patch JOSM to use a newer version of metadata-extractor if he really
    needed it. I had no response at all.

    BTW, I am metadata-extractor maintainer, and not JOSM maintainer.

    This evening the submitter emailed me privately and I discovered that
    meanwhile, a new review request for a newer version of
    metadata-extractor was approved and now it is part of Fedora:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1004563

    As I understand now, newer metadata-extractor is required by Apache
    Sorl and Apache Tika, which are not yet part of Fedora.

wrong, Apache tika is already part of Fedora
and for question of time only for import some new libraries for Wildfly 8.x
was disabled a module (tika-parsers https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1019650)
but is required also , by some Bigdata (hadhoop) packages

    He asked me to "exchange our repository" "to simplify some build with
    maven". And with that I presume that he would like to have his package
    called metadata-extractor because he has troubles to build sorl and
    tika.

no i havent any trouble for me is the same

    I think all this have been handled very badly. He could have told why
    he needed a more recent version of metadata-extractor in the first
    place, the reviewer of #1004563 could have checked if the package
    followed the naming guidelines and/or have checked if the package was
    already in Fedora.

    I still think that my original plan (i.e. patching JOSM). was more
    sensible.

    What to do now? What do you think?

    If it helps, if it makes things easier, I can release the ownership of
    metadata-extractor and someone else can have good care. I just
    packaged it because, as an openstreetmap mapper, I longed to have JOSM
    in Fedora.

regards
gil

    Regards,

    Andrea.
