Description: This is my first package. I am seeking a sponsor. This package is currently orphaned and unmaintained.
MVEL is a powerful expression language for Java-based applications. It provides a plethora of features and is suited for everything from the smallest property binding and extraction, to full blown scripts.

Jie, since you are doing the review, please assign it to yourself. Thanks!

Comment 6 Severin Gehwolf 2020-09-30 18:27:55 UTC
Alex, one issue I see here is that this is packaging version 2.3.2. Latest upstream is 2.4.10.FINAL. Only most recent version should be newly packaged.

Comment 8 Severin Gehwolf 2020-10-01 07:18:48 UTC
Lets set fedora-review to '?' for neutrality. I wouldn't set it to '-' (basically saying not suitable for Fedora).

Comment 9 Severin Gehwolf 2020-10-01 09:01:36 UTC
Other than the 2.3.2 vs. 2.4.10 (latest) issue, this seems fine to me.

Comment 10 Alex Macdonald 2020-11-10 15:58:11 UTC
I've updated the package to be latest (2.4.10) instead of 2.3.2. I've included a link to the spec and the SRPM below.

Spec URL: https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/almac/rpms/mvel/blob/master/f/mvel.spec
SRPM URL: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/almac/lz4-java/fedora-33-x86_64/01744942-mvel/mvel-2.4.10-1.fc33.src.rpm

Having said this, there was an issue with updating to this version of mvel; lz4-java builds started failing due to improperly formatted generated code [0]. There appears to be an issue in mvel as of version 2.4.0 (related issue: [1]), where new lines are not being included when generating the files. The resulting code is written on a single line, which causes problems when the templates contain comments because it invalidates the rest of the code. As a preventative measure I've patched out the comments in the lz4-java mvel templates [2], which allows this version of mvel to work with lz4-java 1.7.1 [3].

The two bullets in the issues I listed above can be ignored. The java plugin is no longer maintained and this is a request to bring back a package.

Comment 13 Severin Gehwolf 2020-12-09 09:50:12 UTC
Thanks, Alex, for going the extra mile and packaging latest mvel!

Comment 14 Alex Macdonald 2021-01-14 18:59:30 UTC
mvel is a noarch package so hopefully this isn't a big deterrent, but thought I'd post my findings here anyways for visibility.

Recently I've been verifying that lz4-java builds okay on a number of different arches, so I've been able to see how mvel builds as well. It is okay for the most part, aside from s390x on f33 onward (where jdk 11 is now default).

Here's a link to a copr build: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/almac/lz4-java/build/1873068/
And here's a link to the build log for the failing f33 s390x build from the above: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/almac/lz4-java/fedora-33-s390x/01873068-mvel/builder-live.log.

#
```

After a bit of googling, I found a similar error from a user using the docker s390x platform via qemu-user-static: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/12128
In their case, setting up s390x in docker using jdk 11 or 15 resulted in a crash when running "jar -version".

There was also mention that this jdk bug could be the problem as well: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8245051

To verify I went back to the mvel spec and added a couple lines to simply run "java -version" and "jar -version", and was able to reproduce the above issue. "java -version" is okay, but there's a sigill encountered on "jar -version".

Comment 15 Severin Gehwolf 2021-01-15 09:28:46 UTC
JDK-8245051 will be fixed in 11u for 11.0.10 (Jan CPU). I'd suggest to wait a week or so and try again if the issue is gone. Either way, this seems a JDK bug, not mvel.

Comment 16 Jie Kang 2021-01-19 21:34:10 UTC
The package looks okay to me. I also think the issue is likely to be from the JDK rather than mvel and need not stall this review process.

Comment 17 Severin Gehwolf 2021-01-27 10:26:52 UTC
Yes, this is fine. Nice work, Alex!

Comment 18 Alex Macdonald 2021-02-23 15:21:20 UTC
Thanks for the help everyone, a bit late on closing this one but I've been able to work on the repo now and have a build in koji for f34.
