#topic #346 Bundling exception request for Eclipse Sisu .fpc 346 https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/346
There is a package called sisu (available in Debian since 2005 (started in 1997), and used for example for documentation with translations) that I have hoped to have packaged for Fedora.
The home page is pretty minimal http://www.sisudoc.org/ also http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu
Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SiSU
Debian: http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/sisu.html
You are welcome to whatever help I can offer to package this for Fedora. Thanks for your cosideration.
I will note that sisu in Fedora is completely different package. Originally a Sonatype project, it's a "JSR 330 based container and Plexus adapter". In other words a Java library.
You can still package sisudoc for Fedora of course, but it would have to use a different name than "sisu" (sisudoc perhaps?)
SiSU is not particularly widely known or used, but I would humbly suggest you drop your naming exception for a java/library an eclipse package to end up using the same name. You could continue to identify it as an eclipse or java library.
Ultimately you are right SiSU could be packaged for Fedora as sisudoc, though my preference for consistency, given that SiSU is invoked by use of the command "sisu" ... is understandable.
