In the course of some other Java stuff, I noticed that the geronimo-specs package doesn't include Maven depmaps (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530088). I then decided to take a look at the actual SRPM itself to see how hard it would be to add things, and it looks like it's actually *very* old (version 1.0M2, released in August 2004) and it doesn't actually build from source any more on Rawhide (errors about javax.transaction.*).

What's this package for, anyway? Would it hurt anything to package the 2.1.4 version (March 2009) instead?

p.s. -- It looks like jpackage has a *much* newer package (http://jpackage.org/browser/rpm.php?jppversion=5.0&id=7845) that might be worth importing. I'll check that out now ...

I made some research on this. Apparently we will need to import (at least) the following packages from jpackage to update our geronimo-specs: maven-release excalibur-avalon-framework excalibur-avalon-logkit mojo-maven2-plugin-idlj jacorb >= 0:2.3.0-17 mockobjects >= 0:0.09 mockobjects-jdk1.4-j2ee1.4 >= 0:0.09 ws-scout

It smells like a lot of work. Who wants to team up for this?

PS: I need the geronimo-specs updated to 1.2 in order to package this: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmappletserver/

maven-release

I think this is just maven2-plugin-release (different name in Fedora).

excalibur-avalon-framework excalibur-avalon-logkit

These are already there, just without the "excalibur-" prefix.

This is good news.

...

mojo-maven2-plugin-idlj jacorb >= 0:2.3.0-17 mockobjects >= 0:0.09 mockobjects-jdk1.4-j2ee1.4 >= 0:0.09 ws-scout

These probably do actually need to be imported ...

This is bad news.

I checked these packages and some of them have at least 4-5 levels of dependencies that need to be imported. Some are really large packages and they need a lot of work to get Fedorized.

Phew...

On my F-11 system, geronimo-specs-compat requires it, and that package Provides:

ejb = 0:2.1 j2ee-connector = 0:1.5 j2ee-deployment = 0:1.1 j2ee-management = 0:1.0 jacc = 0:1.0 jms = 0:1.1 jta = 0:1.0.1 geronimo-specs-compat = 0:1.0-2.M2.fc10

And "jms" is Required by avalog-logkit, and "jta" is Required by castor and mysql-connector-java.
