https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2104 Bug #: 2104 Summary: Review request: TestU01 - Utilities for the statistical testing of uniform random number generators Classification: Unclassified Product: Package Reviews Version: Current Platform: All OS/Version: GNU/Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: Review Request AssignedTo: rpmfusion-package-review(a)rpmfusion.org ReportedBy: hladky.jiri(a)googlemail.com CC: rpmfusion-package-review(a)rpmfusion.org SPEC file: http://jhladky.fedorapeople.org/TestU01.spec SRPM: http://jhladky.fedorapeople.org/TestU01-1.2.3-1.fc16.src.rpm =============================Description===================================== TestU01 is a software library, implemented in the ANSI C language, and offering a collection of utilities for the empirical statistical testing of uniform random number generators. The library implements several types of random number generators in generic form, as well as many specific generators proposed in the literature or found in widely-used software. It provides general implementations of the classical statistical tests for random number generators, as well as several others proposed in the literature, and some original ones. These tests can be applied to the generators predefined in the library and to user-defined generators. Specific tests suites for either sequences of uniform random numbers in [0,1] or bit sequences are also available. Basic tools for plotting vectors of points produced by generators are provided as well. Additional software permits one to perform systematic studies of the interaction between a specific test and the structure of the point sets produced by a given family of random number generators. That is, for a given kind of test and a given class of random number generators, to determine how large should be the sample size of the test, as a function of the generator's period length, before the generator starts to fail the test systematically. =============================Description===================================== Why this package is not eligible to be included in Fedora ? =========================================================== Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted without a fee for private, research, academic, or other non-commercial purposes. Any use of this software by a commercial enterprise requires a written licence from the copyright owner. =========================================================== rpmlint output: TestU01.src: W: invalid-license Redistributable, with restrictions => I'm not sure what license I should use in this case. Full license text is available at http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~simardr/testu01/copyright.html Please advice. TestU01.i686: W: shared-lib-calls-exit => I have contacted developers to fix it in the next release This is my first RPM Fusion package. However, I'm a Fedora sponsored packager. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
