Description Anthony Green 2006-02-04 13:53:20 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
In the latest eclipse update /usr/share/java/swt-gtk-3.1.2.jar is a symlink to /usr/share/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64.3.1.2.jar, which doesn't exist.  It's still a *3.1.1.jar file.

Also, can we install unversioned, or slightly less versioned swt-gtk symlinks in /usr/share/java?  I have to create new azureus and RSSOwl packages just because we went from 3.1.1 to 3.1.2.

Also, why is there no libswt3-gtk2 component listed in bugzilla?  I had to file this against eclipse-platform.

And, finally, what's the best way to request a specific swt version in my spec files?  libswt3-gtk2 = 3.1.2 doesn't work.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libswt3-gtk2-3.1.2-1jpp_1fc

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.ls -l /usr/share/java/swt*
2.
3.

Oops.  Sorry, I'll fix this along with a few other issues once gcc-4.1.0-0.23
hits the buildroot.

Yeah.  How about I add a generic swt-gtk.jar symlink?

There is only one bugzilla component per SRPM.  SWT is part of our Eclipse SDK
build.

I don't know:

$ rpm -q --queryformat="%{version}\n" libswt3-gtk2
3.1.2

eclipse-3.1.2-1jpp_4fc hit rawhide today.  It's got the following:

$ ls -lh /usr/share/java/*swt*
[...] /usr/share/java/swt-gtk-3.1.1.jar ->
/usr/share/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_3.1.1.jar
[...] /usr/share/java/swt-gtk.jar -> /usr/share/java/swt-gtk-3.1.1.jar

Is that good?  If so, please close RAWHIDE.  Thanks.

Comment 3 Ben Konrath 2006-02-07 18:46:17 UTC

Wouldn't it be better to put in the link:

/usr/share/java/swt-gtk-3.1.jar ->  /usr/share/java/swt-gtk-3.1.1.jar

so that the jar is at least partially versioned?

I think I agree with Ben.  What do you think Andrew?

How about:

/usr/share/java/swt-gtk-3.1.jar ->  /usr/share/java/swt-gtk-3.1.1.jar
/usr/share/java/swt-gtk.jar ->  /usr/share/java/swt-gtk-3.1.jar

Or is that too much?

The problem with putting in an unversioned link is that eclipse components are
only forward compatible meaning that an application written for swt 3.1 may not
work with swt 3.0, but an application written for swt 3.0 will work on swt 3.1. 

The reason we want to remove the micro version with the link is becuase the API
will not change between point releases as these releases are used strictly for
bug fixes. So, I would say no unversioned link.

Okay, we'll go with that.  I've committed it and it'll get picked up in the next
build.

Are things as you'd like them now?

Comment 9 Andrew Overholt 2006-02-22 16:15:53 UTC

Any thoughts here?

$ ls -lh /usr/share/java/*swt*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 66 Feb 20 12:10 /usr/share/java/swt-gtk-3.1.1.jar ->
/usr/share/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_3.1.1.jar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Feb 20 12:10 /usr/share/java/swt-gtk-3.1.jar ->
/usr/share/java/swt-gtk-3.1.1.jar

... with libswt3-gtk2-3.1.2-1jpp_7fc

I think this is great.  I'll close this bug.
