Description Andrew Overholt 2011-04-12 13:51:03 UTC
Now that upstream Linux Tools has source tarballs, it would be great to build from them using Tycho.  This of course requires a working Tycho in Fedora and p2 repos of all dependencies.

I'm filing this RFE with eclipse-changelog but it equally applies to eclipse-{oprofile,valgrind,callgraph}, etc.

Comment 1 Alexander Kurtakov 2011-04-12 13:55:16 UTC
There are a number known of problems before this can happen:
1. We need tycho properly packaged into Fedora.
2. We need a system wide p2 repo containing all installed Eclipse plugins.
3. We need tycho modified to resolve against this system wide p2 repo.
4. We need eclipse-linuxtools-parent packaged into a separate package that will be used by maven. There is no point in doing that now because we don't have the time to maintain a package that will be needed someday in the future.

I'm pretty sure that there are other unknown yet problems.

Comment 5 Alexander Kurtakov 2012-08-10 13:58:07 UTC
A single eclipse-linuxtools package that builds everything in the way upstream releases are done(tycho) is in Fedora now.
