Apache PDFBox January 2018 report due
Hi,
find attached a quick draft of the board report we're expected to submit this
month. It's based upon the report template which can be found at [1]
Any further comments, objections or additions?
<draft>
## Description:
- the Apache PDFBox library is an open source Java tool for working with PDF
documents.
## Issues:
- there are no issue requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- the integration of the JBig2 ImageIO plugin is complete
- we are planning to release the first Apache based version of the JBig2
ImageIO plugin this month
- we are working on fixing bugs in 2.0.x
- we have resolve quite a number of 2.0.x releated tickets so that most likely
the next bugfix version 2.0.9 will be released this month as well
## Board feedback (comment from the last october board meeting)
mt: Reading the "2.0.7 release" thread on private@ it appears that
the project is dependent on a single committer for at least a
sub-set of regression tests. Could you explain this in more
detail please. If there are tests the community depends on, I'd
expect to see those tests in an ASF repository where any
committer can run them.
These tests are not classic regression tests but tests on a large amount (>
500000) of files. The results are compared to the results of a previous version
and then committers investigate files with some extreme negative differences or
with new exceptions. The same is done (on an even larger scale) for Tika, see
[1] and [2].
The Tika tests need 4TB, and the files can't be hosted on a public ASF repo or
released under the Apache License because the files largely derive from Common
Crawl or the internet generally, and copyright/licensing would pose a problem.
There is a special vm to host the described test and it is possible to grant
access to all interested Tika/PDFBox committers. Tilman already got his access
bits in december, so that at least one other committer is able to run those
tests if needed. Maybe others will follow.
