hi nico, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
i'm the maintaner of netbeans ebuilds, so i am the most knowledgeable here. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
first of all, i miss "restrictions report" for netbeans 7.0 :-) that one |
| 9 |
is where most of my effort went last months. fast grep for the two |
| 10 |
mentioned packages, jnlp-bin and jsr67 shows that 7.0 depends just on |
| 11 |
jsr67, jnlp-bin is not needed anymore. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
second, i'd like to know what is the real purpose for getting rid of the |
| 14 |
restrictions. i mention this because there are many jars that i cannot |
| 15 |
unbundle at all (and some that could be unbundled but we do not have |
| 16 |
ebuilds for these yet) and they may be restricted in some way aswell. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
about your jsr67 ebuild, is it the same source as the restricted jsr67 |
| 19 |
that we have now or it is different/new package from gentoo point of view? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
just to make the netbeans picture complete, along with removing |
| 22 |
restricted packages from the build tree, the other priorities are to |
| 23 |
solve netbeans 7.0 issues that are filed in our bugzilla and get rid of |
| 24 |
bundled jars (those that can be unbundled) from netbeans 7.0 ebuilds |
| 25 |
(bundled jars are those that are part of SRC_URI in each ebuild). my |
| 26 |
effort goes mostly always to the latest version of netbeans. also, you |
| 27 |
can find latest netbeans ebuilds (for dev versions) at my repo at |
| 28 |
