Just to clarify - I believe Jukka's request was for someone who can generate a .net binary (using the Ikvm cross compiler) to post that binary to the jira (PDFBOX-535) issue as an attachment. As an interim solution. Not that it would necessarily be included in the release.
Those who need a .net version should gravitate to that issue and there could decide on their own whether to use the attachment independent of the actual release. You are correct that anything included in actual releases should be signed builds by core development. -----Original Message----- From: a...@swmc.com [mailto:a...@swmc.com] Sent: Thursday, October 01, 2009 12:52 PM To: pdfbox-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [jira] Commented: (PDFBOX-535) .Net Binaries required for PDFBox 0.8.0 incubator I don't use .NET so it doesn't really matter to me personally, but doesn't accepting a binary file from just anyone seem a little risky? Binary packages which are signed by core developers is one thing, but a binary from some unknown 3rd party is a bit different. Just my 2 cents. --Adam "Jukka Zitting (JIRA)" <j...@apache.org> 10/01/2009 09:27 Please respond to pdfbox-dev@incubator.apache.org To pdfbox-dev@incubator.apache.org cc Subject [jira] Commented: (PDFBOX-535) .Net Binaries required for PDFBox 0.8.0 incubator [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-535?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12761256#action_12761256 ] Jukka Zitting commented on PDFBOX-535: -------------------------------------- I'm getting a number of comments on blog about .NET binaries for the 0.8.0-incubating release, so it seems like there's reasonably wide demand for them. I'm not sure if many of the current committers have .NET environments readily available for producing or reviewing such binaries. This may be a blocker for getting official release packages out. As a workaround for now I would suggest anyone with IKVM installed to create the .NET binaries for 0.8.0-incubating and attach them here. This would solve the immediate need while we look for a more long term solution. > .Net Binaries required for PDFBox 0.8.0 incubator > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-535 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-535 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 0.8.0-incubator > Environment: Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 > Reporter: Rana Zubair > Priority: Minor > > I need the .net version of PDFBox 0.8.0 incubator as it is available for previous version and we were using it but version 7.3 does handles pdf version 1.5 and now I have seen that it has been resolved (PDFBOX-361) for V0.8.0. so kindly provide .Net Binaries for the release PDFBox 0.8.0 incubator, so that I could be able to get rid of this error for my solution. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. ?
