--- Comment #12 from Richard W.M. Jones <[email protected]> ---
I can see this is a tricky package.

Issues (which the packager is aware of already):

(1) unversioned .so files
(2) bundled and locally modified libraries
(3) bundled unmodified libraries that need patching to remove
(4) bundled and unused library (libtelnet)

Some issues that I'm not clear on:

(5) Do we need FESCO permission to bundle those libraries?  Or is adding the
Provides bundled
    sufficient?  Reading the policy (linked below) it seems as if we're OK just
to add
    the Provides.

(6) What, if anything, is the upstream status of the patches?  Are they forever
downstream
    or is there an attempt to get them upstream?

(7) Can we make it easier to unbundle things by working with upstream, eg by
adding more
    cmake -DUSE_SYSTEM_XXX flags?  And remove the unnecessary libtelnet at the
same time?

(8) Needs to follow the bundled policy here (by adding a comment in the spec
file):
