Hi, |

I am interested in packaging spark (bug 523412). By default maven tries |
| 4 |
to download 2.5GiB dependencies into my $HOME. Spark is large and has a |
| 5 |
lot of dependencies. I bet converting the maven build system of spark |
| 6 |
into a manual one[1] will be too complex. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
In the mean time, I stepped upon java-ebuilder[2] for creating ebuilds |
| 9 |
by parsing pom.xml. I am maintaining the R overlay[3], which generates |
| 10 |
10000+ ebuilds from R package repositories such as CRAN, BIOC, etc. |
| 11 |
Similarly, g-sorcery[6] can be used to generate pypi (for python), elpa |
| 12 |
(for emacs) ebuilds and overlays. This is a good packaging model to |
| 13 |
deal with large language-specific repositories and ecosystems. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
What is the status of java-ebuilder, and is there an example for how to |
| 16 |
use it? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
maven has 153861 artifacts[4], making manually packaging for Gentoo |
| 19 |
impossible. How about using java-ebuilder to generate ebuilds from the |
| 20 |
maven repository and expose them with java overlay[5]? What do you say? |
| 21 |
|

Cheers, |
