Description:

A colleciton of Java libraries

- Unix Sockets Library
This is a collection of classes and native code to allow you to read
and write Unix sockets in Java.
 
- Debug Library
This is a comprehensive logging and debugging solution.
 
- CGI Library
This is a collection of classes and native code to allow you to write
CGI applications in Java.

- I/O Library
This provides a few much needed extensions to the Java I/O subsystem.

- Hexdump
This class formats byte-arrays in hex and ascii for display.

Sorry, but I forgot to mention that this is my first package and I am looking
for a sponsor. Thanks

Comment 2 Omair Majid 2008-06-23 21:10:07 UTC
After talking to Thomas Fitzsimmons, modified spec file (and added a patch to
srpm) to build and run using openjdk

Comment 4 Thomas Fitzsimmons 2008-06-24 15:43:30 UTC
Clipping error on rpmlint output:

$ rpmlint RPMS/i386/libmatthew-java-0.7.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm 
libmatthew-java.i386: W: no-soname /usr/lib/libcgi-java.so
libmatthew-java.i386: W: no-soname /usr/lib/libunix-java.so

This warning must be fixed.

Comment 5 Omair Majid 2008-06-24 19:00:14 UTC
Updated:

SRPM URL:
http://omajid.fedorapeople.org/libmatthew-java/libmatthew-java-0.7.1-1.fc9.src.rpm

fixed soname warning, jni object locations, added --build-id flag to build on
rawhide and removed explicit dependency of javadoc on base package

Comment 6 Thomas Fitzsimmons 2008-06-24 21:30:20 UTC
$ rpmlint RPMS/i386/libmatthew-java-0.7.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm

mock build succeeds on fedora-rawhide-i386.

The upstream project shouldn't be using ld directly to link the JNI libraries. 
Can you patch it to use gcc instead?  This may allow you to not specify
--build-id.  Also, the contents of RPM_OPT_FLAGS (see rpm --eval %{optflags})
are not being passed to cpp, cc and ld.  They need to be.

Comment 7 Omair Majid 2008-06-25 14:33:23 UTC
Updated:

Spec URL: http://omajid.fedorapeople.org/libmatthew-java/libmatthew-java.spec
SRPM URL:
http://omajid.fedorapeople.org/libmatthew-java/libmatthew-java-0.7.1-1.fc9.src.rpm

replaced ld with gcc; passed %{optflags} to cflags, ppflags, ldflags and gcjflags

Comment 8 Thomas Fitzsimmons 2008-06-25 15:06:50 UTC
Just one more change request.  It may produce the same result, but the more
conventional way to link a shared object is to pass -shared to gcc.  So I'd
recommend replacing:

-Wl,-soname=$@

in soname.patch with

-shared

You should work with upstream to clean up these build scripts.  Most importantly
they should not be invoking the linker directly, but there's also the make
variables: specifying CFLAGS on the make line should add to, not override, the
tools options.  So if upstream is fixed you should only need:

make %{?_smp_mflags} \
    CFLAGS='%{optflags}'\
    GCJFLAGS='%{optflags}' \
    LDFLAGS='%{optflags}' \
    PPFLAGS='%{optflags}'

Please make the -shared change when you commit the package.

Approved.

Comment 9 Omair Majid 2008-06-25 20:35:21 UTC
Updated

SRPM URL:
http://omajid.fedorapeople.org/libmatthew-java/libmatthew-java-0.7.1-1.fc9.src.rpm

also includes a patch (sent it upstream too) to match 
make %{?_smp_mflags} \
    CFLAGS='%{optflags}'\
    GCJFLAGS='%{optflags}' \
    LDFLAGS='%{optflags}' \
    PPFLAGS='%{optflags}'
