Current approach

The idea is to package minimal set of JAR's. This means that only core JARs required to run or build AS7 will be packaged. This will let us package AS7 in reasonable timeframe. All additional JARs can be added later, for example to improve/enable test execution.

I am (Marek Goldmann) now using following approach to select what needs to be packaged and what not:

• Create a spec file.
• Try to build the package.
  • Failure - see what what was the cause and:
    • Missing dependency? Comment it out and build.
      • Success - cool!
      • Failure - go to beginning and start with that dependency.
    • Issue in code? Create a patch.
  • Success - add spec file to queue for cleanup!

Cleanup queue

Cleanup queue location
Cleanup queue is located here: http://goldmann.fedorapeople.org/jboss_as/queue/.

Want to help us?
Cleaning up packages in cleanup queue and submitting them to Fedora is the easiest way you can help us! If you pick up a package - let us know on IRC and add you to the table below.

In cleanup queue you can find packages that are building fine, but the spec files needs cleanup. Cleanup can include (but is not limited to):

• License, description, url, name, version, changelog are correct.
• Make sure the spec files is following additional rules.

After cleanup - package can be submitted to Fedora.

Rules for JBoss-related packages

Additionally to Java packaging rules - please meet following instructions for JBoss-related packages, like jboss-dmr, jboss-logging and so on:

• JARs should be installed in $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_javadir}/jboss
• POM files should be installed in $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_mavenpomdir}/JPP.jboss-%{name}.pom
• Use %add_maven_depmap macro. It should look similar to this:

%add_maven_depmap JPP.jboss-%{name}.pom jboss/%{name}.jar

We need your help!

Feel free to grab dependency you want to package and add you to the list. You can talk to us on #fedora-java IRC or using mailing list.

Be fast!
Make sure you add the dependency immediately after you decide to pick it up so other can see what deps are available for packaging.
