I cannot see the Apache-2.0 license text anywhere in bzip3 sources. LICENSE file only contains LGPL-3 text.

To conform to the Apache-2.0 license, please add the license text https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt to bzip3 sources. Otherwise, it's illegal to distribute bzip3 and Fedora cannot package it.

Fixed in v1.1.7a, thanks for reporting.

Please don't be like openssl — semver bumps with no letter nonsense are much less confusing to work with in the broader distro/packaging ecosystem. Even basic things like vercmp 1.1.7 1.1.7a are thrown off because by default the a is assumed to stand for alpha and as a version string sorts before the non-suffixed version. I had to fudge the AUR build as 1.1.7_a just to get the build to be an upgrade.

@alerque I'll keep that in mind, thanks. Sorry for the inconvenience. I have renamed the release to 1.1.8 since it seems that nobody beside you has caught up so far.
