ant-contrib is required by [2]
After find that in java the correct repo queries are done in repo
rawhide-source with --arch=src , (we query the buildrequires)
So why we need xmvn-connector-ivy ? and can ant-contrib be retired ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Ivy maven seems that supersede and
ivy seems to me that need java 1.7, not even 1.8 [3]
and I can't find a way to build apache-ivy in rawhide [4]
If we retire apache-ivy, we need also want retire ant-contrib,
note that ant-contrib is complete dead upstream (last release is from
2008 , and we should inform the 4 projects that still requires ant-
contrib ...
Note the main problem for me is I don't see how we will build apache-
ivy
I picked up ant-contrib when it was orphaned recently because jmol
wants it. A little digging around shows that jmol uses it solely to
support this construct:
<for list="${all.Jmol.languages}" delimiter=","
param="current.Jmol.language">
<sequential>
<!-- Do stuff with @{current.Jmol.language} -->
</sequential>
</for>
If that construct can be converted into vanilla ant somehow, I would
be quite happy to drop ant-contrib into the laps of the eclipse-gef,
forbidden-apis, and java-sleep maintainers. :-)
