decoupling libgcj from gcc.src.rpm
by Anthony Green 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

FC5 has been kind of frustrating from a libgcj perspective. We've had to wait extra-long for new gcc RPMS in order to get critical libgcj fixes out (for instance 4 or 5 weeks to get gc deadlock update out). I know people have talked about separating libgcj from gcc in the past. I don't know those conversations ever ended, but it would be really nice if we could do something for FC6. I think the simplest approach would be for jakub to continue building gcc RPMS as is (including building libgcj and running gcj testsuite), but then delete libgcj after install and don't build the libgcj sub-packages. The gcc/libjava directory would still be part of the gcc SRPM and would get tested as before. Then we could simply maintain a separate SRPM for libgcj, and not be shackled to the gcc update schedule. The SRPM would only have to contain the appropriate target directories, and we could incorporate mauve testing into the release process. I think this will be particularly important if we manage to get something like gcjwebplugin with the new whitelist feature into FC6. We may want to push out GUI and security updates on a much more frequent basis than is reasonable for gcc. Comments? AG

gcjwebplugin-test package
by Anthony Green 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Thanks to langel and fitzsim's help, I've created a gcjwebplugin-test package for x86 FC5. It's built from GNU Classpath and jamvm cvs HEAD sources. The source RPM just contains a script for checking out the sources and building them. The binary RPM includes all the sources (installed under /usr/share/gcjwebplugin-test). To try it out, simple create a file called /etc/yum.repos.d/gcjwebplugin-test.repo with the following contents: [gcjwebplugin-test] name=Experimental gcjwebplugin repository baseurl=http://people.redhat.com/green/gcjwebplugin-test/fedora/$releasever… enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 Then "yum install gcjwebplugin-test". I don't know what this will do if you have Sun's plugin installed as well (I don't). Also, this version of the plugin includes Lillian's whitelist trick, so it will only load applets you specifically say are "OK". Please report any applet bugs to the GNU Classpath bugzilla repository.. http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla. Thanks, AG

eclipse, ecj, and tomcat 5.5.x
by Jason Corley 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

All, I'm working on updating the JPackage eclipse package for a pending JPackage release (1.7). Right now there exists a circular build problem between the tomcat5 and eclipse packages (eclipse-platform requires tomcat5, tomcat5 requires eclipse-ecj). Debian, Mandriva, and Suse have split out eclipse-ecj into a bootstrap package to solve this dilemma. Another suggestion made was to make eclipse-platform into its own package so that the rest of the eclipse components can be noarch since they are all java. Since one of the goals for JPackage is to make it easier for various distros to use our work with little to no changes I wanted to find out from the fedora-java community if they see any problems with at least splitting out ecj into a separate package (for reference the Mandriva package is named ecj-bootstrap). I believe this was done in the past? Right now the updated eclipse packages that I have so far are located at: http://www.zarb.org/~jasonc/repo/ It is not an actual repo despite what the URL may imply. Any patches, information, etc. greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jason

line numbers
by Anthony Green 09 Jun '06

09 Jun '06

Now that we have a new libgcj in FC-5, azureus logging seems to be working. I've been comparing log files between Sun JRE and gcj runs, and have filed 1 GNU Classpath bug so far. One thing that is annoying is that I'm not getting line numbers in the azureus debug output. Azureus' calls to StackTraceElement.getLineNumber() always result in -1. I have the azureus debug RPM installed, and just assumed that this would be enough to get line number info. Maybe I'm misremembering all this. Should StackTraceElement.getLineNumber() return good info for bc-compiled code? AG
