Description Ade Lee 2015-11-23 15:53:56 UTC

Description of problem:

This is needed for the effort to containerize IPA.  We need to reduce the footprint of the image - and can do so by pulling in java-headless instead of
the full java stack.

pki-server -> ... -> qdox -> ant -> java-devel -> java

The changes to do this (and convert in general to use java-headless) are
already in Fedora.  We just need them backported to RHEL 7.

Comment 2 Mikolaj Izdebski 2015-11-25 11:00:02 UTC

Dependency on ant was originally optional, but it was changed to non-optional by pom macros. It should be safe to change it back to optional and filter generated requires to remove this dependency.

Comment 3 Martin Kosek 2015-12-02 11:57:54 UTC

Based on the initial measurement in Fedora, this could save about 300 MB of requirements for FreeIPA, which is pretty significant saving, for our users.

Comment 7 Robert Marcano 2016-03-01 15:45:11 UTC

Or remove ant-devel requirement from ant on RHEL. I don't think it is needed, current Fedora hasn't that dependency. I can install ant on Fedora without pulling any java*-devel package

Comment 9 Jan Pazdziora 2016-03-21 12:09:16 UTC

It looks like the dependency on non-headless-java is still there:

# rpm -q --requires qdox-1.12.1-10.el7
java >= 1.5
jpackage-utils
mvn(junit:junit)
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1

Comment 10 Mikolaj Izdebski 2016-03-21 12:24:16 UTC

Dependency on ant was removed. Dependency on java won't be removed as java is required for qdox to be usable.

Comment 11 Jan Pazdziora 2016-03-21 12:52:50 UTC

Do you say java-headless is not enough? On Fedora 23, the dependencies are

# rpm -q --requires qdox-2.0-0.4.M3.fc23
java-headless >= 1:1.5
jpackage-utils
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1

But as noted in 1284579, it looks like the dependency gets into the package via some rpm autodependency mechanism because the 'java >= 1.5' is not there in the .spec file.

Comment 12 Mikolaj Izdebski 2016-03-21 13:09:43 UTC

Fedora is not RHEL. Fedora has a feature that enabled headless Java (implemented in Fedora 21, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/HeadlessJava), RHEL 7 does not (it is based on Fedora 18/19).
