Description Rafael H. Schloming 2007-02-02 17:54:51 UTC
Spec URL: http://people.redhat.com/rafaels/specs/plexus-xmlrpc-1.0-0.b4.3jpp.spec
SRPM URL: ftp://jpackage.hmdc.harvard.edu/JPackage/1.7/generic/SRPMS.free/plexus-xmlrpc-1.0-0.b4.3jpp.src.rpm
Description: The Plexus project seeks to create end-to-end developer tools for
writing applications. At the core is the container, which can be
embedded or for a full scale application server. There are many
reusable components for hibernate, form processing, jndi, i18n,
velocity, etc. Plexus also includes an application server which
is like a J2EE application server, without all the baggage.

Again, rpmlint does not generate this warning for me.  This is very strange,
espeically since we are running the same version of rpmlint.

I noticed this before and had tried fixing it, but I would have problems
building.  So, I decided to just leave them.  I've also been told that as long
as rpmlint doesn't complain, then not to worry about it.  

Whether there is anything else you would like me to fix or not, let me know. 
When I hear from you I will build this package on mock.

Thanks.

Comment 7 Tania Bento 2007-03-12 20:59:01 UTC
There was an error in the spec file that I posted above.  This error was only
brought to my attention when trying to build another package that is dependent
on this one.  I fixed the error, built it on an i386 machine and built it on
mock.  Everything built fine.

Here is the link to an updated spec file and source rpm:

SPEC FILE:
https://tbento.108.redhat.com/files/documents/177/294/plexus-xmlrpc.spec

SOURCE RPM:
https://tbento.108.redhat.com/files/documents/177/293/plexus-xmlrpc-1.0-0.1.b4.3jpp.1.src.rpm

Comment 8 Deepak Bhole 2007-03-13 21:19:17 UTC
Built with ant in extras. Keeping open until built with maven2.

Comment 9 Bernard Johnson 2007-04-11 22:47:57 UTC
Pardon the bugzilla spam.  This package appears to have been approved, imported,
and built.

If that is the case, please close this bug RESOLVE -> NEXTRELEASE as documented
in the package review process:
