Development and maintainership of freemind in fedora
by Johannes Lips
Hi all,
I am currently maintaining freeminda and various other related dependencies
in fedora.
I am now working full-time and not a student any more, so the time I could
devote to work on packaging is reduced a lot.
This is not a problem with packages where you have an easy upstream, which
is not the case for most of my Java packages.
Therefore I am not going to have the time, to put enough effort into
packaging up the new version of freemind and adopt all the changes upstream
made to plugins and various other parts of the package.
This is why I am looking for someone who would like to take over these
packages and work on them. I am not going to orphan them straight away but
if I am not able to update to the latest stable upstream version there's
not a lot of sense in keeping it in fedora.
I hope someone will help me to keep freemind in fedora,
Johannes

Java Web application for review...
by Simone Caronni
Hello,
I have this Java Web Application [1] for review since 2012-09-03; I
have been keeping it constantly updated in the last month. The Java
packaging guidelines are a bit tricky to follow and I tried to do my
best for managing all of the dependencies. The application works but
I'm not sure it's packaged in the correct way.
All the dependencies are already pushed into all released versions of Fedora.
Is there someone brave enough that wants to review it and at the same
time have a look at what's missing the in the package guidelines?
Thanks & regards,
--Simone

How to build Maven package from source rpm?
by Alex C
Greetings,
I've been trying to build Groovy from the Fedora 17 srpm on CentOS and
Amazon Linux. I've a fair degree of rpm knowledge and started to download
and build the relevant build dependencies.
Things started well and I could build the first few dependencies, however,
when I got to Maven I noticed that it has itself as a build dependency. I
would appreciate any guidance on how to proceed and build Maven from source
rpm.
Thanks

get svnkit back to life?
by Ismael Olea
Hi:
I've just discovered svnkit is a dead package at rawhide. Being a
dependency for OmegaT 2.6.* I wonder about the reasons to be deprecated.
Anybody can give me any hint?

Further improvements for Java macros - files section simplified
by Stanislav Ochotnicky
While I was working on preparing a maven repository layout, I realized we can
generate file list when running add_maven_depmap. I've added support for this to
the master branch of [1]. Note that this is not in rawhide yet, but I'd like
people to try it out.
So what will add_maven_depmap do now?
- it will create file called maven-files-%{name}[-fragment-addition]
- when given '-m' it also creates Maven-like layout under /usr/share/maven-repository/
This means it creates file lists per subpackage. To see this in action I
prepared a sample diff for maven-surefire (it's a poster child, so normal diffs
will be smaller) [2]. The Maven repository as would be created right now is not
directly usable by upstream maven, mostly due to pom files having different
versions than advertised and similar things. But good news is...I believe we can
fix it, and without modifications to existing packages even :-)
To test it you need to checkout our javapackages.git and replace two files on
your system:
/etc/rpm/macros.fjava with macros.fjava from root of git
and
/usr/share/java-utils/maven_depmap.py with scripts/maven-depmap.py
I could probably create a test rpm if needed, but for that I'd likely just
commit to rawhide :-)
Hope you'll like further simplifications...

Hibernate 4 support is available in JBoss AS in Fedora Rawhide (jboss-as-7.1.1-10)
by Marek Goldmann
Hiya,
Maybe some people will find it useful... :)

-------- Original Message --------
Subject: [jboss-rpm] Hibernate 4 support is available in JBoss AS in
Fedora Rawhide (jboss-as-7.1.1-10)
Date: Fri, 09 Nov 2012 14:39:33 +0100
From: Marek Goldmann <mgoldman(a)redhat.com>
To: jboss-rpm(a)lists.jboss.org <jboss-rpm(a)lists.jboss.org>
Hi All,
I have some great news to share with you. We managed finally to bake
Hibernate 4 support into JBoss AS in Fedora. This wouldn't be possible
without Gil Cattaneo's support. He was that guy who packaged Hibernate 4:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852330
And here is the build:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4671784
## Where it is available?
Support for Hibernate 4 is immediately available *for Rawhide* for now.
We need spend some time on porting and testing the Maven resolver before
we can push hibernate (4) package to Fedora 17 or 18 branches.
## Things to note
"hibernate" is now the default hibernate package, hibernate3 is now a
compat package for it.
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=User:Akurtakov/JavaPackagingD...
There are few important things to note.
We have now 2 Hibernate versions in Fedora: 3.6.10.Final and 4.1.7.Final.
When using mvn-rpmbuild Maven resolver will look for the version
requested in pom.xml, if we have such one, then the correct library will
be returned. But this is a very rare case.
What happens when we don't have the selected version? A default one will
be returned (4.1.7.Final in this case).
How to resolve Hibernate 3 jars then?
1. Use the correct package version (3.6.10)
2. Use the correct upstream version (3.6.10.Final)
3. Use virtual version (3)
The most "safe" thing to do is to request version "3" in your pom. Maven
will return the latest installed library from hibernate3 package.
If you're unsure which version was resolved, add
"-Dmaven.local.debug=true" to your command.
Enjoy!
--Marek
