Eclipse Mylyn >= 3.5.0 Packaging Notes

As of release 3.5.0, Eclipse Mylyn is a new top-level project at eclipse.org. In addition, Mylyn decided to split their only project prior to 3.5.0 into several sub-projects. Those Mylyn sub-projects are as follows:

1. org.eclipse.mylyn
2. org.eclipse.mylyn.commons
3. org.eclipse.mylyn.contexts
4. org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks
5. org.eclipse.mylyn.versions
6. org.eclipse.mylyn.builds
7. org.eclipse.mylyn.docs
8. org.eclipse.mylyn.reviews

For Fedora we aimed for one SRPM per sub-project. Due to dependencies, this is not entirely true, but matches for the most part. The Fedora SRPMs for upstream Eclipse Mylyn >= 3.5.0 are as follows:

Fedora SRPM	Corresponding upstream sub-project (mostly)
eclipse-mylyn-commons	org.eclipse.mylyn.commons
eclipse-mylyn	n/a
eclipse-mylyn-ide	n/a
eclipse-mylyn-context	org.eclipse.mylyn.contexts
eclipse-mylyn-tasks	org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks
eclipse-mylyn-docs	org.eclipse.mylyn.docs
eclipse-mylyn-versions	org.eclipse.mylyn.versions
eclipse-mylyn-builds	org.eclipse.mylyn.builds
Not in Fedora (yet)	org.eclipse.mylyn.reviews

These SRPMs produce the following binary RPMs:

SRPM	Binary RPMs
eclipse-mylyn-commons	eclipse-mylyn-commons
eclipse-mylyn	eclipse-mylyn
eclipse-mylyn-ide	eclipse-mylyn-ide
eclipse-mylyn-context	eclipse-mylyn-context, eclipse-mylyn-context-team, eclipse-mylyn-context-pde, eclipse-mylyn-context-java, eclipse-mylyn-context-cdt
eclipse-mylyn-tasks	eclipse-mylyn-tasks-trac, eclipse-mylyn-tasks-bugzilla
eclipse-mylyn-docs	eclipse-mylyn-docs-wikitext, eclipse-mylyn-docs-htmltext
eclipse-mylyn-versions	eclipse-mylyn-versions, eclipse-mylyn-versions-git, eclipse-mylyn-versions-cvs
eclipse-mylyn-builds	eclipse-mylyn-builds, eclipse-mylyn-builds-hudson

And here is the mapping of upstream Eclipse Mylyn features to Fedora's binary RPMs:

Binary RPM	Includes Eclipse Mylyn upstream feature id
eclipse-mylyn-commons	org.eclipse.mylyn.commons
eclipse-mylyn	org.eclipse.mylyn_feature
eclipse-mylyn-ide	org.eclipse.mylyn.ide_feature
eclipse-mylyn-context	org.eclipse.mylyn.context_feature
eclipse-mylyn-context-team	org.eclipse.mylyn.team_feature
eclipse-mylyn-context-pde	org.eclipse.mylyn.pde_feature
eclipse-mylyn-context-java	org.eclipse.mylyn.java_feature
eclipse-mylyn-context-cdt	org.eclipse.cdt.mylyn
eclipse-mylyn-tasks-trac	org.eclipse.mylyn.trac_feature
eclipse-mylyn-tasks-bugzilla	org.eclipse.mylyn.bugzilla_feature
eclipse-mylyn-docs-wikitext	org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext_feature
eclipse-mylyn-docs-htmltext	org.eclipse.mylyn.htmltext
eclipse-mylyn-versions	org.eclipse.mylyn.versions
eclipse-mylyn-versions-git	org.eclipse.mylyn.git
eclipse-mylyn-versions-cvs	org.eclipse.mylyn.cvs
eclipse-mylyn-builds	org.eclipse.mylyn.builds
eclipse-mylyn-builds-hudson	org.eclipse.mylyn.hudson

Recommended Packaging Order for Future Eclipse Mylyn Upstream Releases due to Dependencies

We recommend to package Eclipse Mylyn upstream releases in the following order (this is a known to be working):

1. eclipse-mylyn-commons
2. eclipse-mylyn
3. eclipse-mylyn-context
4. eclipse-mylyn-ide
5. eclipse-mylyn-tasks
6. eclipse-mylyn-docs
7. eclipse-mylyn-versions
8. eclipse-mylyn-builds

Implications for Eclipse Mylyn (version < 3.5.0) Dependent Packages

First note that users should be able to update their mylyn packages as usual ( yum update eclipse-mylyn\*). However, due to the restructuring of Eclipse Mylyn packages in Fedora, it may be required to update dependencies for Mylyn dependent Eclipse plug-ins. It may also be required to update build requirements for Mylyn dependent RPMs in Fedora. Here is a table showing which Mylyn 3.5 packages replace old (< 3.5) Mylyn packages (above tables and the following table may be helpful determining the correct packages for updating your R/BR's in relevant spec files):

Old RPM Package Name	Since Mylyn 3.5 in Fedora Provided By
eclipse-mylyn	eclipse-mylyn-commons, eclipse-mylyn, eclipse-mylyn-tasks-bugzilla, eclipse-mylyn-context, eclipse-mylyn-context-team, eclipse-mylyn-ide (eclipse-mylyn used to provide all corresponding features; see feature/rpm-package mapping table for a more granular listing).
eclipse-mylyn-trac	eclipse-mylyn-tasks-trac
eclipse-mylyn-java	eclipse-mylyn-context-java
eclipse-mylyn-pde	eclipse-mylyn-context-pde
eclipse-mylyn-cdt	eclipse-mylyn-context-cdt
eclipse-mylyn-webtasks	eclipse-mylyn-tasks-web
eclipse-mylyn-wikitext	eclipse-mylyn-docs-wikitext

Using Red Hat Bugzilla with Mylyn >= 3.5.0

The eclipse-mylyn-tasks-bugzilla package allows Mylyn users to interact with Bugzilla bug trackers from within Eclipse. As of version 3.5.0 of Mylyn it also supports Bugzilla instances, which use custom workflows. Here are instructions as to how to set up a Red Hat Bugzilla task repository.

Install eclipse-mylyn-tasks-bugzilla

eclipse-mylyn-tasks-bugzilla is available in Fedora 15 and later.

su -c "yum install eclipse-mylyn-tasks-bugzilla"

Set up the Mylyn task repository with the provided custom transition file

Fire up Eclipse and open the "Task Repositories" view provided by Mylyn: "Window" => "Show View" => "Other..." => "Mylyn" => "Task Repositories". Right-click and select "Add New Task Repository...":

Once you've clicked on that, you'll have the choice to select task repository-types. Please select "Bugzilla":

When you click "Next" you should see something like this:
