Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
This week I have made java-ebuilder accept "--binjar-uri" switch, |
| 4 |
which will help us avoid circular deps. Also, It is helpful if we want |
| 5 |
to compare the locally compiled jars and Maven Central distributed |
| 6 |
jars. [1] |
| 7 |
I have also patched java-pkg-simple to skip compiling source files if |
| 8 |
USE="binary" is set. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
One big progress is that I have managed to install |
| 11 |
"org.apache.spark:spark-core_2.12:3.0.0-preview2". [2] |
| 12 |
Most of the packages are compiled natively, while a few packages are |
| 13 |
Maven Central distributed binary jars. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
The reason why I have to install binaries varies. Here are the main reasons: |
| 16 |
1. Maven central only distributes binary jars (even those jars are |
| 17 |
named with a "sources" suffix). I will fix the problem by changing the |
| 18 |
SRC_URI of a proper source code file next week. |
| 19 |
2. The source code files are not written in Java. Some Jars contain |
| 20 |
Ruby, Scala, Kotlin, or Lombok codes. [3] Maybe we should discuss how |
| 21 |
to emerge those packages next week. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
There are also other issues: |
| 24 |
1. Netty is implemented by org.glassfish and com.sun, but they ended |
| 25 |
up using the same artifactId. They now share the same package name. I |
| 26 |
will rename them next week. |
| 27 |
2. packages of javax.* and jakarta.*: I believe they should be merged |
| 28 |
into java-virtuals/. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Next week, I will improve the quality of the overlay and submit some |
| 31 |
up-to-date ebuild files. |
| 32 |
The most urgent package should be netty-tcnative, because openssl has |
| 33 |
changed a lot during these years and the current package cannot be |
| 34 |
compiled now. |
| 35 |
