Package is being built using prebuilt jars
Last modified: 2008-02-25 19:28:36 EST
Description of problem: diveintopython make.sh builds the documents using prebuilt jars, it should build them using Fedora packages instead.
There are 6 pre-built jars: ant.jar This is part of the ant package. crimson.jar It doesn't look like there's a package for this in Fedora. Perhaps something at JPackage could be brought over? jaxp.jar xml-commons-apis-1.3.04 provides this jar. NetComponents.jar According to [1], "NetComponents users should upgrade to Apache Commons Net." See the jakarta-commons-net package. optional.jar If none of the ant packages provide this, talk to the ant package maintainers. saxon.jar There's a saxon package in Fedora. These dependencies should be added (and in some cases added to Fedora entirely) to diveintopython. The package should not have been included in Fedora until its dependencies were in order. We can't change that now, of course, so let's clean these up :) [1] http://www.savarese.org/oro/index.html
This post is just for a reference in case my links crash while I'm at work. crimson.jar http://xml.apache.org/crimson/ http://www.jpackage.org/browser/rpm.php?jppversion=1.7&id=6668 This package is not in Fedora but in jpackage so I'll create a review for it. Do I have to modify it since some packages in Fedora are just straight 'copies' from jpackage? http://ant.apache.org/faq.html I'll work on patching it or running the command directly later today.
crimson requires gnu-crypto http://www.jpackage.org/browser/rpm.php?jppversion=1.7&id=5839
Currently gnu-crypto doesn't build. There is an @redhat email there so I have emailed the packager and asked whether they are able to submit it to Fedora.
you shouldn't need to use crimson, use xerces instead (they are both xml parsers). gnu-crypto became part of classpath a couple of years ago, the classpath libraries are in the libgcj package. This dependency shouldn't be needed, as the crypto provides are in the modern jvms. The only reason you should need the gnu-crypto package is if its trying to use org.gnu.crypto.* classes (which I highly doubt). I would suggest removing the dependency on crimson and use xerces instead, and remove the dependency on gnu-crypto all together. This will require updating the spec file and possibly patching a couple of files.
Created attachment 293996 [details] Updated spec file. Would this fix the situation just double checking before uploading another version of an incorrect spec file :)
SRPM for your perusal. If this fixes it I'll upload it to fix this bug. http://mwiriadi.fedorapeople.org/packages/diveintopython/diveintopython-5.4-12.fc8.src.rpm
I worked with Marc a bit on IRC and I'm satisfied that it's no longer using the pre-built jars. He's going to add saxon as a BR and fix his super-long changelog lines and update CVS. Thanks, Marc!
diveintopython-5.4-12.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8
It doesn't build on F-7 which is annoying. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=398537&name=build.log http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=398537&name=root.log http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=398537&name=state.log DEBUG util.py:261: No Package Found for ant-commons-net Any suggestions on how to fix this or what I should do?
(In reply to comment #10) > DEBUG util.py:261: No Package Found for ant-commons-net > > Any suggestions on how to fix this or what I should do? Build ant-commons-net for F-7 or bug the owner of that package to do so.
diveintopython-5.4-12.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
