Could you please let me which packages didn't have source, and which |
8 |
ones couldn't compile? Chances are they are things that I am |
9 |
maintaining in experimental. For several things that were used cvs / |
10 |
svn checkouts, I was hosting the files on a server I had access to |
11 |
when I was in school, but have since graduated, and they finally got |
12 |
around to nuking my webspace and account. Hopefully I will be able to |
13 |
find an alternative sometime soon. |

17 |
I'm using hibernate-2 on a project I'm currently working on. Might |
18 |
want to give the official tree version a shot until I can get all the |
19 |
tarballs back online. |

22 |
I haven't been working on it recently. I came up to a stopping point |
23 |
as I mention below. Will probably pick up the torch again once I wrap |
24 |
up some non-Gentoo projects and make some more progress on other |
25 |
Gentoo things, such as finish my developer quizes ;) |

28 |
As I mentioned, works for me. But please do share what packages are |
29 |
giving you problems, and the errors that you are getting. |

32 |
The splitting up of JBoss is mostly done. There's only one or two |
33 |
modules left to be packaged, but I kind of came to a stand still. It |
34 |
came down to where one module couldn't find some static utility |
35 |
functions, but I couldn't figure out for the life of me why they |
36 |
couldn't be found because they appeared to be on the classpath. |
37 |
|
38 |
Once those remaining modules are complete, then the last step would be |
39 |
to put them together to resemble a normal JBoss installation. This |
40 |
would involve either: |
41 |
|
42 |
- Use the build.xml, by making all sorts of symlinks to the things it |
43 |
would expect to be around |
44 |
- Put the things together in the ebuild. |
45 |
|
46 |
It would generally be better to use upstream provided method, but the |
47 |
problem is that ant does a lot of copying, and ant isn't know how to |
48 |
handle symlinks. |
49 |
|
50 |
The problem with putting it together ourselves would be making sure it |
51 |
is put together properly, and would be a PITA to maintain. |

Another good place to look is on #gentoo-java. |
