Hi,
I maintain IDJC [1], which depends on libshout. The latest version though
depends on libshout-idjc a fork of the original library, since the idjc
upstream developer wanted some extra functionality on libshout and didn't
want to wait for libshout upstream to adopt his changes.
I've read the relevant documentation [2] but I'm not sure what's the best
way to proceed. The good thing that he doesn't bundle his version of
libshout, but instead he has made it a separate release [3], which could
also be packaged for Fedora. But a fork is a fork.
Should I just make a request for exception and package the forked library
or should the package be orphaned?
I don't think you need a bundling exception if there's no bundling. We
can
have both the fork and the original in the distro, I believe.
