Hi Vadim, any progress on gephi ITP? Do you need help/sponsoring? If you are no more interested in it, would you care to retitle it as a RFP? Cheers, Luca
Hi, apparently there is a proper Debianised effort (adhering to Debian's dyn-link and source licensing requirements) going on: http://wiki.gephi.org/index.php/Specification_-_Debian_Package I've CC'd the person in charge of that page here. Andy, could you give us an update on how this is going? I could be happy to take over the packaging effort, if there is not much work left. Ximin
Hi there. From a quick look at that, I see that there are very few things needed to have the package being part of Debian. What is the status of this? It would be super nice to have this packaged in Debian, as there are Massive Online Courses that will use this tool for (of course) educational purposes: https://www.coursera.org/course/sna I wonder if, somehow, changing to team-maintenance wouldn't be better for the package overall? Perhaps the highly skilled people that already package Java things for Debian may be interested in this? I'm CCing them. Otherwise, changing the status from ITP to RFP would free people to work on it instead of the "deadlock" here. After all, the original bug was filed on "1 Dec 2011" which will soon complete 2 years! (I almost did this without asking for other people's opinions). I would be superb to have this submitted to the archives in time for the beginning of the course. Regards,
Hi there again. OK, I just went ahead and removed this ITP and owned thing. If that was premature, then just modify it again, but, please, keep the bug updated with events/progress of the packaging, so other people are not left wondering what the status of the packaging is and can actually work on the darned thing. Regards,
Hi all, My intention was always to package Gephi under the banner of the Java team. Unfortunately the Netbeans platform is a dependency, and getting that in a good state (and keeping up with upstream releases) has been more challenging than I initially expected. When I started on this, the only Netbeans package was in non-free because it bundled jar files of its dependencies. I'm pretty much there on getting the latest Netbeans platform uploaded, although I do need some help with sponsering a few packages. A further complication is that since I last had a working Gephi package, the Gephi build system was updated to use Maven. Getting the relevant plugins packaged will also be needed, so that we can properly build against the Netbeans platform. Failing that, we'll need to heavily patch the Gephi build system, which doesn't sound like much fun... Anyway, if others are keen to work on this then we should try and make a plan, but be prepared to get stuck in with Maven packaging. Thanks, Andy
Hi there. OK. Can you please clarify some things to a non-connoisseur? Is netbeans a (hard) build dependency for gephi? If it is, is it free now (or can it be made free by substituting portions of it)? Just a warning here: I am a novice in Java-land (I wrote a toy compiler in Java in 1998, but that sincerely doesn't count, as I can't remember a thing and the language changed a lot). That being said, I may, perhaps, spend some time with it, as many of the things that I want to see packaged depend on it. :( With that being said, I just started learning about this maven thing and one of the first things that came to my eyes was that it downloads all the things that it needs (as described in the pom.xml file) from the network, which is obviously not acceptable for buildds. So, with that in mind, what are the recommended ways of building things that have the build-system based on maven in Debian? And what is the recommended/best-practices way of convincing maven to use a locally installed build-dependency (or a dependency) in a Debian system? With answers to those questions, I may even try to take a look at one trivial, hello-world-like java package and, perhaps, help with the java packaging. Thanks for directions, Rogério. P.S.: Feel free to drop the BTS system from the list of recipients, but, please, keep me in the CC'ies, as I am not subscribed to debian-java.
Packaging Java does not require you to be an expert at Java. But you do need to be familiar with the Java packaging policies: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/ I haven't read it myself but: https://wiki.debian.org/Java/Packaging Maven Use maven-debian-helper for standard Maven projects, use maven-repo-helper and maven-ant-helper to fallback the build to Ant - usefull mostly for building a library which is part of the Build-Depends of Maven itself. You can also ask in #debian-java on irc.oftc.net
