Wow this is a scary package


[pterjan at 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
