[gentoo-java] What is the current status of hibernate

[gentoo-java] What is the current status of hibernate

[Rusty Phillips]

I just downloaded the java experimental tree and gave emerging hibernate
a shot.  Unsuprisingly, it didn't work.  There were a few packages that
have no available source files, and a few that I couldn't get to compile
even on their own.

Anyway, I have a few questions about it:
What is the status of getting hibernate working in Gentoo?  
Is there anyone working on that now?  
Has anyone using this list gotten it working for themselves?  
Is this "splitting up JBoss" plan still going to go ahead?

I come here because I couldn't get any answers find any answers to these
questions in the forum, the bug tree, the docs, or the wiki.
Thanks for your time.

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

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

> Is there anyone working on that now?
I haven't been working on it recently. I came up to a stopping point
as I mention below. Will probably pick up the torch again once I wrap
up some non-Gentoo projects and make some more progress on other
Gentoo things, such as finish my developer quizes ;)

> Has anyone using this list gotten it working for themselves?
As I mentioned, works for me. But please do share what packages are
giving you problems, and the errors that you are getting.

> Is this "splitting up JBoss" plan still going to go ahead?
The splitting up of JBoss is mostly done. There's only one or two
modules left to be packaged, but I kind of came to a stand still. It
came down to where one module couldn't find some static utility
functions, but I couldn't figure out for the life of me why they
couldn't be found because they appeared to be on the classpath.

Once those remaining modules are complete, then the last step would be
to put them together to resemble a normal JBoss installation. This
would involve either:

- Use the build.xml, by making all sorts of symlinks to the things it
would expect to be around
- Put the things together in the ebuild.

It would generally be better to use upstream provided method, but the
problem is that ant does a lot of copying, and ant isn't know how to
handle symlinks.

The problem with putting it together ourselves would be making sure it
is put together properly, and would be a PITA to maintain.

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

Missing sources:
  buildmagic-tasks
  jboss-thirdparty
  jboss-module-jaxrpc
  jboss-common

As to which won't build, its possible that I'm trying to compile using
an older version when I start the dependancy tree.  How did you create
the source files for these?

At any rate, my cable company will let me host files on my computer.  

 Its a temporary fix, but I can host the files for a while until you
find someplace else.  Not terribly reliable, as I live in Florida - land
of the power outages, but better than nothing.  
If they're under 30MB, I can put them on my freeshell account
(freeshell.org), which is quite reliable.

Send me the sources and I'll send you versions of the ebuilds with
sources pointing to my computer if there's a lot, or my freeshell
account if there isn't.

[Joshua Nichols]

I've moved all the distfiles needed for jboss-* to
http://gentooexperimental.org/distfiles, and updated the ebuilds to
reflect this new address. So, hopefully everything should be in order
now.

Please let me if there are any SRC_URIs that are not available, or any
other problems with the ebuilds.

Re: [gentoo-java] What is the current status of hibernate

So far, here's what I've got:
1)  Mockobjects depends on jms.  This dependency isn't listed, but it
doesn't work without it.  This isn't in the tree, so I don't know if
you're dealing with it or not.
2)  xdoclet can't dojar "velocity-1" because I don't have a velocity-1
installed.  I have a velocity-1.4.  Removing the "-1" it works.
If you're going to use "RDEPEND =dev-java/velocity-1*" you're going to
have to deal with the possibility that you get velocity-1*.

That's everything so far.  I'll let you know how it goes.  I can usually
come up with solutions for the little things like these.  If all the
sources are available, I don't expect to have any problems I can't
solve.

I still have a lot of packages to go, so we'll see.

You mean dev-java/jms ? :) I suspect it has to do with log4j having a
jms USE flag, and that somehow got on the classpath because of ant...
so I'll have to take a look at that.

The most recent version of velocity in experimental is SLOT=1. In
general, you want to do at least 'emerge -u' when emerging Java
packages. This is basically because we can't have a slot dependency,
or more specifically, we can't depend on the most recent version
belonging to a particular slot.

For example, we depend on =dev-java/velocity-1*, to do slot 1..
however this matches 1.4, which is SLOT=0, which you have installed.
So, you'd have to emerge -u to get 1.4-r1 which is slotted.

As always, thanks for the input.
