Description Robert Scheck 2021-09-03 13:18:26 UTC
Spec URL: https://labs.linuxnetz.de/bugzilla/pdftk-java.spec
SRPM URL: https://labs.linuxnetz.de/bugzilla/pdftk-java-3.3.1-1.src.rpm
Description: If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk-java is an electronic staple-remover, hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses. PDFtk is a simple tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents: Merge PDF documents, split PDF pages into a new document, decrypt input as necessary (password required), encrypt output as desired, burst a PDF document into single pages, report on PDF metrics, including metadata and bookmarks, uncompress and re-compress page streams, and repair corrupted PDF (where possible).

Pdftk-java is a port of the original GCJ-based PDFtk to Java. The GNU Compiler for Java (GCJ) is a portable, optimizing, ahead-of-time compiler for the Java programming language, which had no new developments since 2009 and was finally removed in 2016 from the GCC development tree before the release of GCC 7.

Notes:
- I used pdftk-java as package name to clearly distinct from the (GCJ-based) pdftk, but if a reviewer insists on pdftk, this can be changed. As of writing Debian/Ubuntu and Mageia use pdftk-java and Gentoo and Arch/Manjaro use pdftk as package name.
- The Fedora Java packaging howto doesn't seem to be in a good shape, because https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/java-packaging-howto/gradle/ suggests "BuildRequires: gradle-local" while Rawhide mock build says "No matching package to install: 'gradle-local'", thus I simply used plain ant.

What about using maven build?
I just added the (maven) pom file upstream [1], but it depends on one of my
package review [2]. Would you like a review swap?

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2021-09-27 23:29:27 UTC
I'm not really sure what a good answer would be: I'm not experienced in Java packaging, so I wonder which benefits Maven adds here.

Well, it doesn't matter. It's your choice. I need someone who would like to know or rather knows maven to take my package review.
I'd take this as my list of reviews, nonetheless.

> so I wonder which benefits Maven adds here.

because:
1) auto-requires and auto-provides just works so you only need BRs in maven.
2) you don't need %check and use maven tests instead. (or use both)

My only connection to Java is this package, because there is unfortunately no Java-free alternative/replacement. I've noticed that you're on the IRC as well...maybe we can continue there to finally make this some kind of review swapping, even I fear that I have to ask for the sense/background of most %pom_* macro activities.
