ivy
by Orion Poplawski 13 Apr '10

13 Apr '10

Has anyone dealt with any projects that use ivy? Appears to be similar to maven and downloads jars automatically, so it's probably going to need similar treatment to maven in the build system. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com

jakarta-commons-lang 2.4
by Jerry James 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

I maintain findbugs, whose latest version needs jakarta-commons-lang 2.4. We currently ship 2.3. The upstream release notes [1][2] claim that 2.4 has no incompatibilities with 2.3. On the other hand, I see that jpackage (5.0) has both a jakarta-commons-lang (version 2.3) package and a jakarta-commons-lang24 package, but I don't know why. According to repoquery, these packages currently require jakarta-commons-lang: directory-naming eclipse-mylyn findbugs jakarta-commons-cli jakarta-commons-configuration jeuclid maven2 maven2-plugin-changes maven2-plugin-enforcer maven2-plugin-gpg maven2-plugin-jar maven2-plugin-javadoc openoffice.org-wiki-publisher plexus-registry Do the maintainers of any of these packages have any reason why jakarta-commons-lang should not be upgraded from 2.3 to 2.4?

Re: [fedora-java] Candidate packages for removal due to FTBFS, implications

2010/1/15 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch(a)dell.com>: > OK, re-run, removing the three packages noted as fixed overnight. > > ----------------- > Removing geronimo-specs also removes: [ lots of stuff! ] Almost all of these are due to the dependency chain jms (virtual provide) -> avalon-logkit -> velocity -> (all of maven). avalon-logkit is basically a dead project, and velocity is the only package that requires it; akurtakov and I are currently working on patching the avalon-logkit requirement out of velocity (it's only optional anyway), which should clean things up a bit.

2010/1/15 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch(a)dell.com>: > Removing geronimo-specs removes these: > geronimo-specs-compat-0:1.0-2.M2.fc10.x86_64 Eek! I think geronimo-specs-compat is (transitively) needed by a bunch of other Java packages including maven; on my computer, "yum remove geronimo-specs" attempts to remove 45 packages (mostly maven-*). The issue is that geronimo-specs-compat has a bunch of virtual provides which don't show up in repoquery. For reference, repoquery --whatrequires --recursive jms jacc jta ejb | wc -l returns 112 on my computer (F12, x86_64).

Naming packages from apache.org
by Orion Poplawski 14 Jan '10

14 Jan '10

crossposting to java and packaging - Seems like we need an accepted standard for naming packages from apache.org, particularly commons.apache.org. We already have lots of "jakarta-commons-*" packages, but now "commons" is an ex-jakarta project and jakarta.apache.org/commons redirects to commons.apache.org. Same with jakarta taglibs (although that moved to tomcat). As of now, the only apache-* package I know of is apache-ivy, which I would have named simply "ivy". I've got a package request in for "commons-jexl"[1], but it has been suggested that it be named apache-commons-jexl. If it were named that I would want a Provides: commons-jexl much like most jakarta-commons-* packages, so it doesn't really clean up the namespace any (just adds to it in fact). commons-* is a lousy name though too, be very generic. So, I'm fine with either (although I think it's quite possible that "apache commons" could get renamed again), but at this juncture before a bunch more packages come in from apache commons, I think we should make a decision and stick with it. 1 - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=531379 -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com

Packaging an eclipse-RCP based app
by stefan riemens 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

Hi all, I'm looking into packaging kelpie, a flightplanner for flightgear. This is a mature app, using the eclipse RCP framework. However, it appears as if this would be the very first eclipse-rcp app in fedora. (note, not all dependencies are packaged yet, most notably jogl). Upstream is very responsive, he's made me an ant build script to start with. See https://sourceforge.net/projects/fgflightplanner/forums/forum/285350/topic/… for my communication with him. I was hoping for some guidance, as I don't have java experience yet. Thanks, Stefan

Update on Soprano/Sesame progress -- review swaps?
by Mary Ellen Foster 08 Jan '10

08 Jan '10

For anyone who's still interested in my project to get the Sesame backend for Sesame packaged, here's the latest... Unfortunately, I didn't get anything done over the holidays, but I'm now back and keen to move forwards on this. All of the required updates to existing Fedora packages have now been made, so the "only" thing left to do is the reviews of the new packages. The document at https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/c/c9/Sesame-Dependencies.pdf shows the current state of the package dependencies. In summary, the most urgent review at the moment is javamail and then, once that's done, logback, because the whole chain of aduna-* packages all depend (directly or indirectly) on logback. xml-security is another "leaf-node" package that could be done at any time, but it's not actually needed until all of the other stuff has been processed so it's less urgent. I'm willing to review any packages, particularly Java-based packages, in return for anyone who can review these packages. Once it gets to the aduna-* packages, the spec files are all nearly identical so hopefully they can be processed fairly efficiently.

eclipse problems on fedora
by Guy McArthur 08 Jan '10

08 Jan '10

Hello, I want to use the Google Eclipse plugin for developing appengine stuff in fedora 12 x86_64 kde spin but have encountered serious problems getting this going. The straightforward way, downloading the whole platform from eclipse.org has a rendering bug. In the attached screenshot, the Google repository has been added, the items are there: text shows up when you click in the right areas, but nothing is shown or selectable. There are other weird problems with various controls including buttons and dropdowns. This is with both the latest openjdk and sunjdk. I don't know where in the stack (SWT, GTK, KDE/Qt, X, ATI radeon driver, SELinux?) the problem could be so am not sure where to file a bug report. With the other way, installing eclipse from fedora repositories via yum, I'm not sure how to add the Google plugin or any of its dependencies. What is the path of least resistance here?

xerces-j2 Update
by Mat Booth 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

Just an FYI because many, many packages use xerces-j2... I intend to update xerces-j2 from 2.7 to 2.9 (in Rawhide only) once the package review for xml-stylebook[1] is completed. Eclipse already expects version 2.9.0 (the OSGi manifest is currently lying to it) so I don't anticipate any problems in that area. Hopefully most other packages will be equally unaffected.
