*** cassandra-java-driver 
- wanted to update to the latest release but that requires at least guava 19.0

*** tar 
- rpmlint issues

*** unixODBC 
> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1165561 
- at the moment the plugins for unixODBC are installed directly to %{_libdir}, eventhough they are not libraries. The reporter does not like it and would like to find and implement a proper solution. Fixing this bug is mainly about an agreement on package structure + cheking that unixODBC is fine with the structure. At first you should study where unixODBC looks for plugins, and where to set it up. Then try changing the locations and test it. If it works discussions about the structure could start.

- patch to provide the requested feature in Fedora is attached 
- should be pushed to rawhide as soon as possible 

*** ohc 
> https://github.com/snazy/ohc/issues/50 
- issue with five tests, upstream confirmed that these test failures are not major and that we could live with them 
- these were fixed in new release but tests still won't pass on RHEL so for now I skip them but it is important to fix it 
- tests are sometimes failing in both f26 and f27 (testDecrementIncrement)
