Biting the bullet?

I am sorry I do not quite understand. I presume that you mean that one should rename stapler (my packaged version) to something else. I tried doing this in the spec file. But it never worked because the spec file looks for that something else then. I could not figure out how to fix this so just created the file for my personal use.

If you or someone else would like to take a look, here it is:

fpaste pdf-stapler.spec 
Uploading (2.4KiB)...

Yes this is correct.

I even wrote to the author Philip Stark asking if he would mind changing the name to avoid conflicts with this other stapler. As an author and user of software, I feel that it is useful to have clearly defined names. (Besides, the name "stapler" does not quite do justice to the full capabilities of the software.) Anyway, he said he would if I came up with a good name so I suggested a bunch, but he never responded after that.

Btw, you will need PyPDF2 for which I have a working rpm (again a personal copy, no naming issues there) which I can provide to you. 

How do I submit this PyPDF2 to BZ?

Many thanks.
