Description Orion Poplawski 2023-01-06 22:17:54 UTC
Please branch and build javacc in epel9.

If you do not wish to maintain javacc in epel9,
or do not think you will be able to do this in a timely manner,
the EPEL Packagers SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package;
please add the epel-packagers-sig group through
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/javacc/addgroup
and grant it commit access, or collaborator access on epel* branches.

I would also be happy to be a co-maintainer (FAS: orion).

I can be the primary contact for EPEL (FAS: orion).


Though, if I am going to maintain it, I need to know how to bootsrap the package.  There don't seem to be notes on how to do that in the spec file.

I only have picked up a javacc because it dependency of a dependency of some game which I package which happens to be written in java.

Generally speaking I'm not interested in java packaging, other then that I package a few games written in java.

Also I don't maintain any packages in EPEL because I'm totally swamped with other work so I have no time for EPEL.

I have given the epel-packagers-sig group commit rights and I have made you a co-admin of the package.

Note before doing EPEL builds you may first want to update to a newer release in Fedora, there was a request for this here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1763544#c12

And I have made the requester a co-admin to, but nothing seems to have come of this yet.

I am afraid I cannot help that, I just picked this up to stop it from becoming orphaned because it was in a dep-chain of a java game I did not do the original packaging of this. Sorry that I cannot be of more help.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 38 development cycle.
