can you give me an advise or in best case just apply patch to fix this?


Wow this is a scary package


[pterjan@chopin freeswitch]$ ls -1 SOURCES/
celt-0.10.0.tar.gz
communicator_semi_6000_20080321.tar.gz
flite-1.5.1-current.tar.bz2
freeswitch-1.2.3.tar.bz2
json-c-0.9.tar.gz
lame-3.97.tar.gz
libmemcached-0.32.tar.gz
libshout-2.2.2.tar.gz
mpg123-1.13.2.tar.gz
openldap-2.4.11.tar.gz
opus-0.9.0.tar.gz
pocketsphinx-0.7.tar.gz
sha1.lst
soundtouch-1.6.0.tar.gz
sphinxbase-0.7.tar.gz


The spec has :
%if 0%{?suse_version} > 100
#BuildRequires: openldap2-devel
BuildRequires: lzo-devel
%else
BuildRequires: openldap-devel
%endif

So why does it need to have the sources of openldap 2.4.11 (from 2008)?

Why does it include so many very old version of various software? Can they at least get patched for all security fixes they got over the years?

Sorry, I wanted to help but this package really looks too awful... The spec is 2339 lines, many of them not applying to mageia...

Good luck

By the way I am surprised that we don't block upload of packages with such Packager tag
