[opensuse-packaging] Advice for packaging Jinchess
Hi All. I've a request to package Jin [1] which is a java frontend for online chess game servers. The project is gpl, no a problem with that. Now I've two questions, can we put and package the official .jar published by the author ? [3] contain all needed to run the game. Main deps is java (the sun one is recommended) Or to be accepted, it would be preferable to rebuild entirely from sources (the author mention that) [4] but seems to not be in favour of. In case of it can be accepted in obs. which layout in the filesystem would be the best /opt/jinchess ? Thanks for your time [1] http://www.jinchess.com home page [2] http://jin.sourceforge.net devel project [3] http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jin/jin-2.14.1-unix.tar.gz?download [4] http://jin.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jin/jin/release/build.xml?revision=1.63&view=markup -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

AFAIR, the .jar file is really just a tar variation. There's no build involved as such. Does the official .jar file contain anything a locally created ditto would not? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
