Hello Tom.
Thank you for your guidance again.
I will start working on packaging dependencies and taking this moloch apart.
Please how it would be with the upstream tarball? What is recommendation?
Is it recommended to repack just core of it for the src.rpm without bundles or
pack the original upstream tarball risking possible license conflicts?
If it were my package, I would take the original upstream tarball, then
document exactly what I removed, and make a new "clean" tarball that
didn't have the conflicts at all. In the spec file, I would put my
notes, like this:
# The upstream source can be found here:
#
http://foo.com/bar-1.2.3.tar.gz
# Due to licensing concerns, I had to remove python-foo and python-bar.
# To generate the new source, run:
# tar xvz bar-1.2.3.tar.gz && cd bar-1.2.3
# rm -rf foo/ bar/
# cd ..
# tar cvz bar-clean-1.2.3.tar.gz bar-1.2.3
hope that helps,
