Updated spec file v2

Hi,

Made some changes to the spec file as recommended by the Fedora Guidelines.

(1) The package should not be installed inder /opt
   - moved the package installation dir to /usr/share/openliberty

(2) You should provide SystemD files, not init.d ones
   - moved the openliberty script from /etc/init.d/openliberty to /usr/libexec/openliberty and created the relevant service files (under /usr/lib/systemd/system/openliberty@.service) to use SystemD instead of SystemV init.

(3) You need to include a changelog entry
   - created an changelog entry detailing the changes

From your previous comment of:
 - "It is forbidden to ship jar files directly:"

I'm assuming you wish for us to incorporate the jar building process into our travis build process. So there are 2 ways we can go about this:
 
   (1) call rpmbuild - which would then have to call gradle inside to build straight from the source and package as rpm all in 1 rpm command
   (2) call gradle to build the necessary jars then call rpmbuild to package the contents into a rpm

We would much rather prefer the 2nd option as it is easier and more convenient on our end. Note: the Travis Build process and Github Repo will soon be made public.

When running rpmlint on our package, we get the "openliberty.noarch: W: invalid-license EPL-1.0" warning. I believe that the EPL-1.0 (Eclipse Public License 1.0) is under the list of acceptable licenses so why am I seeing this warning?

The updated src rpm link is - https://app.box.com/v/openliberty-src-rpm

Not sure if I understood you correctly but Fedora's build process can not use pre-built binaries (even if you build them transparently on Travis). The full build process (including *all* dependencies) must be in Fedora. All sources must be included in your source rpm (or rpm dependencies) you must not download anything from the internet during your builds.

(And you judging from the size of the OpenLiberty download packaging it for Fedora will be quite a bit of work.)

Hello Michael,

I found openliberty-19.0.0.1.tar.gz, which should contains source code(java
files), contains jar files. The guideline says jar files from upstream 
releases MUST NOT be used during build of Fedora packages.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Java/#_pre_built_dependencies

I understand the basic process to build source files is:
1) prepare in the %prep section
2) build source files in the %build section
3) install the compile files to the the buildroot

Therefor you should use the %prep section to uncompress openliberty-19.0.0.1.tar.gz,
which contains java files, and extract the contents into the build directory.
You can use the %setup macro. For example,
```
%prep
%setup
```
See http://ftp.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-macros.html for details.

Then you should use the %build section to compile java files in the build
directory. For example,
```
%build
make {?_smp_flags}
```

Finally you should use the %install section to install the jar files. For
example,
```
%install
install -p -m 644 foo.jar %{buildroot}%{_javadir}/foo.jar
```

Java Packaging HOWTO must help you very much. It shows many examples and
is very easy to understand for me. 
https://fedora-java.github.io/howto/latest/

After you make your source rpm file, you can check it by using Koji.
See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_the_Koji_build_system for details.

Here is the current Koji scratch build result:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=34779979

Error messages says:
```
error: Bad file:
 /home/travis/build/was-lighthouse/openliberty-rpmdeb/rpmbuild/SOURCES/openliberty-19.0.0.1.tar.gz: No such file or directory
```

The /home/travis/build/was-lighthouse/openliberty-rpmdeb/rpmbuild directory may
exist in your local development environment. However you should not assume the
directory is present anywhere.
