I see that javapackages-tools is still on the list (because it depends on gradle)
and that in turn brings problems for lot of other packages.
So I wonder what the plan forward is. I've been looking at my own packages
which depend on javapackages-tools and they really only need 2 things:
From my side as owner of javapackages-tools the plan is to do nothing
as there is no problem with javapackages-tools packages (that I know
of). If at some point of time javapackages-tools becomes FTBFS or FTI
due to gradle or another of its dependencies being retired, I will fix
the problem in an adequate way.
1) javapackages-filesystem
2) %jpackage_script macro (and it deps)
Looking at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java this is pretty much
the minimum set of what packages need to follow the guidelines. It seems that
javapackages-tools contains way more then this and I'm wondering if it would
be a good idea to do a javapackages-tools-minimal as a separate package and
move the 2 items from above there. Then over time we can move java-packages
in the base package set to use javapackages-tools-minimal and eventually drop
the full javapackages-tools from the base package set.
I don't see any reason to add javapackages-tools-minimal or migrate
any packages. If there are any issues with javapackages-tools then
please open bugs and I will respond to them.
