[opensuse-edu] New netbeans package for openSUSE 11.2
Hi all. As you may know, I'm the maintainer of Java packages in openSUSE. For last several weeks, I have worked on new netbeans package for openSUSE. The current situation is bad, because we have two different packages: 1.) One out dated in non-free repository 2.) One up-to-date in Education, but not built from source code I used netbeans specfile created by Sun's developers for Fedora and Mandriva and imported all other necessary dependencies (freemarker, lucene, hsqldb, excalibur-*, ...), so this package have a good quality and should be supported. Those packages was submitted to Factory. Some of them are in, some are in internal pre-Factory repository, some are still waiting on legal review and netbeans itself and netbeans-subversion are waiting on changes in subversion package, which needs to be propagated in Factory. The new netbeans package (including dependencies) is currently available in Java:packages [1] BuildService project. I spent some effort to make it building on openSUSE 11.1 too to make it easier for you to test it. The Factory version is now blocked by another update of toolchain, so the 11.1 should be installable immediately. This version will replace the netbeans package in nonfree repository in openSUSE 11.2. It would be nice if Education project will use it too, but not sure what they exactly needs. So please try to install and test this new netbeans package and let me know if anything is wrong. In current build the binary file is missing in /usr/bin. To start of netbeans please use: /usr/share/netbeans/6.5/bin/netbeans [1] http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Java:/packages/ BTW: I'm going to vacation and I'll be back on Monday, so I'll be unable to respond.

Realy cool work, thanks! I've added you as maintainer of the netbeans package in the Education repository. I think the best way would be using an _aggregate in the Education repository. Feel free to remove the current package content and replace it with such an aggregate file in the Education repository.

So please try to install and test this new netbeans package and let me know if anything is wrong. Netbeans&Dependencies conflicts with Scilab&Dependencies due to javahelp2 package, the one from netbeans repo doesn't have /usr/share/java/jhall.jar So I have to choose between Scilab and netbeans :(
Btw, Scilab was in official repo some years ago. And it was migrated to Java and switched to free license last year. So it's worth to have it in official repository as replacement for MATLAB working side by side with netbeans. I know many students and engineers who need it and who work with it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help@opensuse.org

OK, that should be fixed. There's a %__ln_s %{_javadir}/%{name}-%{version}.jar $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_javadir}/jhall.jar in Education javahelp2.spec file, which should be in javahelp2 in Factory.

It'd be great, but it depends if anyone will package this ;-) Regards Michal Vyskocil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help@opensuse.org

Hi Lars, Sorry for long time. Currently I'm waiting on finish of import process. There are few packages in BETA waiting on legal review. Is it reasonable to use _aggregate? As I've seen, your netbeans package exists in a wide range of SUSE distributions, but this package currently builds on 11.1 and Factory. Is it important for you to provide netbeans package for all of those distributions? I see many useful (Java) packages in Education, which I unfortunately duplicated during netbeans packaging. It'd be great to merge our effort somehow and maintain all of those packages in one place. Factory opening [1] would help us with it. BTW: Of course I can provide the maintenance for released openSUSE ;-) [1] http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2009-06/msg00036.html Regards Michal Vyskocil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help@opensuse.org
