Description Darren VanBuren 2009-10-21 06:02:45 UTC

Spec URL: http://theoks.net/~onekopaka/rpmsources/pircbot.spec
SRPM URL: http://theoks.net/~onekopaka/rpmsources/pircbot-1.4.6-1.fc11.src.rpm
Description:
After quite a bit of hassling around trying to make a specfile for PircBot, I did it, and it's my very first package!

I'm terrible at making up descriptions, so here's the developer's description of PircBot:

PircBot is a Java framework for writing IRC bots quickly and easily. Its features include an event-driven architecture to handle common IRC events, flood protection, DCC resuming support, ident support, and more. Its comprehensive logfile format is suitable for use with pisg to generate channel statistics.
(Taken from http://www.jibble.org/pircbot.php)

I packaged PircBot because my own IRC bot happens to use it, and I can't include my own version of it!

rpmlint did scream on the binary about a lack of documentation and that the JAR was not compressed. I don't know if that's a deal breaker (there's really poor documentation on our Wiki about packaging IMO).

Comment 1 Darren VanBuren 2009-10-21 06:36:00 UTC

Now I found how to package Java stuff. Just great. The Packaging page really needs links to all the specific standards for various languages. I'd be happy to do that if you guys can't.

Because this isn't up to standards, self marking CLOSED DEFERRED.

With the trouble it has been to get this far, I am tempted to mark it CLOSED WONTFIX.
