xerces-j2 unversioned Provides

[Andrew Overholt]

Hi,

In xerces-j2 we have an unversioned Provides statement:

Provides:       jaxp_parser_impl

Does anyone know what the version of this virtual Provide should be?

Thanks,

Andrew

I don't know, but as far as I know there is no package in Fedora that
has a versioned requirement on jaxp_parser_impl. I believe the
situation is the same at JPackage.

This seems to indicate it's at _least_ 1.3:

http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/releases.html

Anyone more knowledgeable than I care to take a stab that what the
version should be?

Hmm, looks like it probably should be 1.3. Reading the docs, xerces
2.9.x seems to support the Java APIs for XML Processing (JAXP)
specification version 1.3.

If it is supposed to be the version of the spec, then java-1.5.0-gcj
should be changed also, because there doesn't appear to be a 1.5
version of the JAXP spec in existence yet.

I could be wrong though...

I've made it 1.3 in rawhide.

I've filed this bug to fix that:
