Bug ID: 2000976
Summary: Review Request: pdftk-java - GCJ-free toolkit for
manipulating PDF documents
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Status: NEW
Component: Package Review
Assignee: nobody(a)fedoraproject.org

QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org

Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
Spec URL: https://labs.linuxnetz.de/bugzilla/pdftk-java.spec
SRPM URL: https://labs.linuxnetz.de/bugzilla/pdftk-java-3.3.1-1.src.rpm
Description: If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk-java is an electronic
staple-remover, hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses.
PDFtk is a simple tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents: Merge PDF
documents, split PDF pages into a new document, decrypt input as necessary
(password required), encrypt output as desired, burst a PDF document into
single pages, report on PDF metrics, including metadata and bookmarks,
uncompress and re-compress page streams, and repair corrupted PDF (where
possible).
Pdftk-java is a port of the original GCJ-based PDFtk to Java. The GNU Compiler
for Java (GCJ) is a portable, optimizing, ahead-of-time compiler for the Java
programming language, which had no new developments since 2009 and was finally
removed in 2016 from the GCC development tree before the release of GCC 7.

Notes:
- I used pdftk-java as package name to clearly distinct from the (GCJ-based)
pdftk, but if a reviewer insists on pdftk, this can be changed. As of writing
Debian/Ubuntu and Mageia use pdftk-java and Gentoo and Arch/Manjaro use pdftk
as package name.
- The Fedora Java packaging howto doesn't seem to be in a good shape, because
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/java-packaging-howto/gradle/ suggests
"BuildRequires: gradle-local" while Rawhide mock build says "No matching
package to install: 'gradle-local'", thus I simply used plain ant.
