Package JBoss

Project Description

JBoss is a Java middleware project with a large number of sub projects. Packaging JBoss and maintaining them is a challenging task and would require several weeks of full time work. Since OpenJDK and a number of Java components is already in Fedora 9, it should help get started.

Releases

0.1 Release

This release includes:

• Initial dependency chart
• Package submitted to Fedora to become a maintainer Bug 466301
• Initial JBoss specfile which builds and installs JBoss. It is highly broken, doesn't have an init.d script, no symlinks, no javadocs, no manual. It is a work in progress

To do this I used some hacky scripts.

0.2 Release

TBD

My Fedora Bugs

• 466301Review and sponsorship request for 'ario' package
• 470703Review request for 'links'
• 225725Bug to change something in a conflicting package (elinks)
