Summary: Update hamcrest to 1.2 or later

Summary: Update hamcrest to 1.2 or later Product: Fedora Version: 16 Platform: Unspecified OS/Version: Unspecified Status: NEW Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Component: hamcrest AssignedTo: dwalluck@redhat.com ReportedBy: agrimm@gmail.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: dwalluck@redhat.com, akurtako@redhat.com, java-sig-commits@lists.fedoraproject.org Classification: Fedora Story Points: --- Type: ---
Hamcrest in Fedora is currently version 1.1, which was released in 2007. Hamcrest 1.2 was released in 2009, and there were release candidates for 1.3 in 2010. I don't know about the stability of 1.3, so I'm not sure whether 1.2 or 1.3 is a better choice. Please update this package.

--- Comment #1 from Tomas Radej tradej@redhat.com 2011-11-22 09:58:42 EST --- Hi,
Updating Hamcrest is a problem because some depending packages (at least JUnit at this time) fail to build. The reason is that in 1.2, Hamcrest changed signatures of some of its methods from <? extends T> to <? super T>. As the change was intentional, I am talking with JUnit upstream on how to update their package. If I don't get an answer, we will probably have to make 2 separate packages for Hamcrest - one for 1.1 and one for 1.2+.
Stay tuned.

--- Comment #3 from Tomas Radej tradej@redhat.com 2011-12-19 03:40:41 EST --- I am sorry to say that, but as the JUnit guys are not responsive enough to collaborate on this situation, we will be retaining the old Hamcrest in Fedora (needed for the new JUnit). If you really want version 1.2 or 1.3RC of Hamcrest in, creating a new package would be in order.
