gradle-local and lein-local?
by Dan Allen 16 Sep '12

16 Sep '12

Are there any plans to create gradle-local and lein-local scripts for the Gradle and Leiningen packages, respectively, that complement the mvn-local script. Having a dependency resolver that resolves dependencies on the system is essential for creating packages for projects built with Gradle or Leiningen. It's also a nice feature for achieving stable production builds (though not all will agree with that approach, there are those that do). Until something like lein-local is available, I've taken the approach of adding a Maven build file to projects that use Leiningen (e.g., vimclojure) in order to package them. -Dan -- Dan Allen Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action Registered Linux User #231597 http://google.com/profiles/dan.j.allen http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction

Removing java provides from java-1.5.0-gcj
by Stanislav Ochotnicky 05 Sep '12

05 Sep '12

We've encountered some minor issues with a few package which were kind of hard to track down. They were partially caused by a bug in yum which causes both gcj and openjdk being pulled in when only one of them should be. The other part was small and hard to spot packaging issues which caused gcj getting accidentaly pulled into BR instead openjdk Now there are legitimate reasons to require gcj directly, but I'd like to propose removing "Provides: java = %{javaver}" (and -devel counterpart). I think leaving rest of the provides should not be an issue. This way we'll be able to remove obscure need for "Requires: java >= 1:1.6.0" I am CCing Deepak as primary maintainer. Does anyone have strong objections for said removal? -- Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotnicky(a)redhat.com> Software Engineer - Base Operating Systems Brno PGP: 7B087241 Red Hat Inc. http://cz.redhat.com

Adding Fedora's Tomcat to Eclipse WTP
by Mat Booth 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

Hi all, I'm wondering how Eclipse WTP in F17 detects Tomcat installations, having yum install'd Tomcat 7. When I try to add a new Apache Tomcat 7.0 server via "Ctrl-3, Define a new server" and I enter "/usr/share/java/tomcat" for the Tomcat installation directory, the dialog shows an error that an "Unknown version of Tomcat was specified" and I cannot complete the wizard. How do I add a Tomcat 7 server to Fedora Eclipse? Do I have the wrong directory? Mat -- Mat Booth http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora

Draft of the Fedora Java story
by Dan Allen 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Fedora Java enthusiasts, I'm working on a page that presents the goal that many of us share to make Fedora the preferred environment of choice for Java and JVM platform developers. The page explains why Fedora Java is important both to the distribution (so that these packages get highlighted in the announcements and other marketing) and to the developers. If you're interested in seeing Fedora get adopted by more Java and JVM platform developers, read over the draft and let me know what you think. I'm definitely interested to discover if it's inaccurate or misleading in anyway. I'm also interested to here what *your* vision is for Fedora Java. (If it's different than the vision I outlined, that's *okay*). https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Java/Fedora_Java_Marketing_Brief The more Java developers we have using Fedora, the more participation we'll likely see in the Java SIG. -Dan p.s. If you have any other Java-related features you'd like to see highlighted in Fedora 18, please let us know! -- Dan Allen Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action Registered Linux User #231597 http://google.com/profiles/dan.j.allen http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction

including vimclojure in Fedora 18
by Dan Allen 26 Aug '12

26 Aug '12

Kushal and Michel, I noticed that you're leading up the effort to package Leiningen for Fedora 18, for which I'm thrilled. Would you consider sponsering a package for vimclojure [1] as well? Nailgun is already available in Fedora [2], so it's just a matter of package the vim scripts. I imagine the package would look very similar to vim-nerdtree [3], so we could build on that. I'm not a Fedora packager, but I would be willing to help put the package together. WDYT? I think this would be big for Clojure developers (obviously those that use vim, but perhaps developers who haven't experienced good repl editor integration). -Dan [1] http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2501 [2] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/nailgun [3] http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/vim-nerdtree.git/tree/vim-nerdtree.spec -- Dan Allen Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action Registered Linux User #231597 http://google.com/profiles/dan.j.allen http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction

Thank you all for helping me pass GSOC!
by Gerard Ryan 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

Hi all, I just found out this evening that I passed Google Summer of Code, for what eventually turned out to be the 'Fedora Java Remix' (hopefully it will be an official spin soon). It goes without saying that I wouldn't have had any chance of getting to the end without the help, support, and encouragement from so many of you! I'd love to thank everyone individually, but I think we'd be here all day, since I received help from so many different people! Special thanks go to Marek Goldmann for being my magnificent mentor; Mikolaj Izdebski for being so patient and doing SO MANY package reviews and teaching me so much; Alexander Kurtakov for getting me out of many Eclipse-related pickles; and Dan Allen for testing, encouragement and features! I've benefitted from help from a lot of other people here also: if I didn't mention your name, don't feel left out - I won't forget it! :) Dan is now co-maintainer of the spin/remix. If anyone else would like to get involved in that also, let us know (You're all already involved to a degree, since it's the hard work of all of you that makes it what it is)! If you'd like to try it out, details are available on my blog[0], and the iso images can be downloaded from [1]. If you already have, and you downloaded it early in the week, there might have been a couple of things broken: mainly some custom Eclipse settings not being applied - those are fixed now in the current iso files. Of course, there aremany ways that it can be improved, and I'll continue to try to make it as good as it can be. For now though, I'll be AFK for a few daysto enjoy the little bit of summer that's left before I start back at university! Thanks once again, and I look forward to working with you all into the future. Gerard.

Packaging ActiveMQ
by Matt Spaulding 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hi, I've been looking at ActiveMQ and am trying to figure out the best way to get it packaged. If you look at the repository[1] you can see that it has quite a few modules. One of them, KahaDB, doesn't even have any dependencies on ActiveMQ. Right now I'm most interested in packaging just ActiveMQ-Core and KahaDB separately if possible. For precedent, it looks like the Java package Ehcache has its core packaged separately in Fedora (Ehcache-core) even though the repository itself contains more than that. Should this entire repository be packaged using a single spec file, or can a spec file be created for each sub-repository of ActiveMQ?

osgi system bundle
by Andy Grimm 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hi, all. This morning I was dealing with a build issue related to broken eclipse package, and it surprised me that eclipse was being pulled into my buildroot for a random java package. The root of this is that osgi(system.bundle) is provided by eclipse-rcp, which requires eclipse-platform, and osgi(system.bundle) is now being required by some fairly commonly used java packages: xalan-j2-0:2.7.1-13.fc18.noarch xbean-0:3.11.1-3.fc18.noarch xml-commons-apis-0:1.4.01-7.fc18.noarch xml-commons-resolver-0:1.2-9.fc18.noarch In particular, xalan-j2 is required for pretty much the entire java ecosystem, including ant, maven, groovy, various apache-commons packages, etc. So what's the rationale for this? Perhaps this is a bug? Maybe something needs to be subpackaged differently? The current state of things seems a bit bloated to me. Thanks. Andy

eclipse packaging with maven/tycho
by Orion Poplawski 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

I'm starting to look into shifting building eclipse-ptp/photran with maven/tycho rather that pdebuild. This is being driven by circular build deps among the various features that make up ptp/photran and the fact that this is how upstream builds it. As currently packaged I have quite a lot of sub-packages that break out the various features. This was fairly easy to do with pdebuild since everything was built on feature boundaries. however with maven/tycho I end up with a single zip file with all the features and plugins in it making it hard to put the plugins into the proper sub-package. Thoughts/suggestions? Just give up and package it all as one package? -- 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

classpathx-mail has been deprecated
by Mikolaj Izdebski 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hi all, classpathx-mail has recently been deprecated. Please build your packages against javamail package, which should be compatible with classpathx-mail. classpathx-mail used to have javamail virtual provide, so unless your packages referenced classpathx-mail directly there should be no need to change them (but in this case release tag bump and rebuild may still be needed). The following packages were using classpathx-mail: * ant, * apache-commons-email, * apache-commons-vfs, * axis, * axis2, * bouncycastle-mail, * cxf, * dumbster, * ironjacamar, * jboss-as, * jtnef, * maven-doxia, * mx4j, * ooo2gd, * ovirt-engine, * quartz, * resteasy. Thanks, Mikolaj Izdebski
