Bug 421503 – =dev-java/groovy-2.4.5: version bump

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) 2012-06-16 23:14:02 UTC]

1.8.6 was released on Feb 09, 2012
http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10242&version=18245

I don't know if you want to add release candidates, but here is some information about groovy 2.0_rc3:

"Groovy 2.0 will be the next major version of Groovy, after the Groovy 1.8.

We initially started with a 1.9.x numbering scheme, but the scope of features of that version warranted us bumping the version to 2.0, hence why you're going to see mentions of betas for a 1.9 version."

"Feature set

Release mainly geared towards the alignments with the upcoming but delayed JDK 7.

    work related to JDK 7
        notes on JDK 7 and JDK 8 future
        usage of invokedynamic and annonymous classloader (JDK7 features)
        updates for JDK 7 language features (aka Project Coin)
    modularity of Groovy (splitting Groovy in smaller JARs on a per feature basis)
    static type checking AST transform
    static compilation AST transform"

groovy-1.8.5-1.8.8.ebuild.patch

Here is the patch with trivial changes. 

I have tried to rewrite the ebuild using more modern ant classpath rewriting, but I got the error on groovy doc generation.

[groovydoc] Can't find/access AST Node typeorg.codehaus.groovy.antlr.GroovySourceAST
[groovydoc] java.lang.ClassCastException: antlr.CommonAST cannot be cast to org.codehaus.groovy.antlr.GroovySourceAST

Does anybody knows how to manage (or debug) it?

Created attachment 325298 [details]
groovy-1.8.8.ebuild

cleaned up ebuild (thank for sera for help). 

The tests currently don't pass. The problem, seems in instantiating org.objectweb.asm.ClassWriter: the asm-3 package is the dependency of the groovy, while asm-1.5 is dependency of jmock-1.0

groovy-2.0.5 released

[Comment 8 Tom Wijsman (TomWij) (RETIRED) 2013-07-16 14:51:21 UTC]

Appears to use the Gradle build system (http://www.gradle.org/) now.

[Comment 9 W. Grunewald 2015-04-11 21:15:13 UTC]

Groovy 2.4 is an important release since there's support for Android development now: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GROOVY/Groovy+2.4+release+notes

[Comment 10 Ian Delaney (RETIRED) 2015-04-12 10:58:26 UTC]

I note the last patches submitted for this were September 2012. This package simply doesn't have an active maintainer.

[Comment 11 Patrice Clement (RETIRED) 2015-08-25 19:52:05 UTC]

This will, hopefully, be addressed in bug 555470.

[Comment 12 Anton Bolshakov 2015-08-28 01:31:59 UTC]

I suggest to add bug #339574 as a blocker.

Groovy 2.x switched from Ant to Gradle

[Comment 13 Ian Delaney (RETIRED) 2015-09-05 09:18:18 UTC]

I suggest this is a candidate for dropping proxy-maint since the maintainer isn't one. Patrice perhaps?
