OK, apksigner.jar can possibly be built anew using public sources that appear to be under Apache-2.0 (SPDX notation) license: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/apksig/+/master/src/main/java/com/android/apksig/ApkSigner.java But then it might be a good idea to package it separately and for the purpose of Fedora downstream, make adb-enhanced contain a respective symlink into where the file is placed by that other package, which would consequently become its "Requires:" specified dependency. Thanks for considering these circumstances and options. I can't speak to the Fedora packaging guidelines, but from the Fedora legal standpoint, this package (at least in this form) must be removed from Fedora. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 38 development cycle. Changing version to 38. > # Uses abe.jar taken from https://sourceforge.net/projects/adbextractor/ abe (https://github.com/nelenkov/android-backup-extractor) uses ASL 2.0. abe.jar and apksigner.jar should definitly not be part of the package. |
