Bug 93807 – test and stabilisation of dev-java/gnu-jaf

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Siuchung Cheung (Clement) 2005-05-24 07:35:08 UTC]

The ebuild told me to fetch jaf-1_0_2-upd.zip from the above URL. But the
website only have jaf-1_0_2-upd2.zip now. (???) Note that it's upd2 instead of
upd. I'm not sure what they changed but the file size is different...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Should that patch work? I get this error message when I applied the patch:

!!! Digest verification Failed:
!!!    /usr/portage/dev-java/sun-jaf-bin/sun-jaf-bin-1.0.2.ebuild
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size

>>> Please ensure you have sync'd properly. Please try 'emerge sync' and

Since sun tends to bork packages, the distfiles and we're not allowed to mirror
their distfiles because of a crappy license, we try to migrate to open source
alternatives where this is possible. I've added dev-java/gnu-jaf to the tree
which is a gpl'ed replacement of sun-jaf-bin. However, it need's testing on
arches and a stable keyword on the following arches:

x86 ppc sparc amd64 ppc64

I've tested it on amd64, ppc and x86 on my own. I can't do anything about sparc
and ppc64 and would like to ask you to do the same. After you've done this I can
replace all references to dev-java/sun-jaf-bin with a reference to
dev-java/gnu-jaf. sun-jaf-bin will be dropped completly when that is done. I'm
going to attach tests for you, they're simply jaf demos from sun's jaf.

Created attachment 60295 [details]
sun-jaf-demos.zip

the zipfile contains examples from sun. emerge gnu-jaf, unpack and compile:

cd demo
for i in *;
do
javac -classpath $(java-config -p gnu-jaf-1):. $i; 
done

then you can test single classes using:

java -classpath $(java-config -p gnu-jaf-1):. <classname>

(some of the classes are supporting classes without a main method)

sparc and ppc64, please test and mark stable. than we can replace sun-jaf-bin,
thanks

Tested and added ~sparc keyword.  Will stablize after the usual time window.

[Comment 8 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2005-06-18 10:25:01 UTC]

we are currently haveing problems with our java environment on ppc64 :-/

[Comment 9 Jason Wever (RETIRED) 2005-06-26 20:00:24 UTC]

Stable on SPARC.

[Comment 10 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2006-01-23 12:54:50 UTC]

ppc64 has a working java environment again. :-)

So I finaly added ~ppc64

[Comment 11 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2006-05-01 04:58:39 UTC]

finaly it's done

stable on ppc64
