Subject: php5: includes swf files

Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2012 16:13:11 -0500

package: php5
version: 5.4.4-9
severity: important

This package includes some binary swf files, which are not in a
preferred form for modification.  Preferably those files would be
generated at build time via something like swftools.

I'm setting this to important since I think the sources for those
files do exist in the package, the similarly named gif, png, etc.
files.

The files are:
php5-5.4.4/ext/standard/tests/image/test13pix.swf
php5-5.4.4/ext/standard/tests/image/200x100.swf
php5-5.4.4/ext/standard/tests/image/test4pix.swf

Best wishes,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Care to report/ask this from upstream ?

In any case, those are only tests for the software I don't see any
importance which image / swf file is there as the test only check its size.
So although this is a valid request for sources, I don't think you'll get a
practical answer.

tags 694264 +wontfix
thank you

Those files are not distributed in binary packages, but are used for
internal regression and functionality testing of PHP functions. I
wonder what purpose would have having sources for the dummy swf files
other than a holy quest for the purity.

Tagging as wontfix and not going to invest an energy into fixing this
bug. If forced I would just remove these tests... <sarcasm>which would
be very helpful for our users.</sarcasm>

Hi Michael,

I am closing this bug as there's nothing to be fixed here.
The referenced files are just test files for 'make check'
so it's just fine they are binary blobs (it's same as for
antivirus tests...).
