Description Jan Brinkmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-25 06:40:06 UTC
octopus is a dependency of c-jdbc and needed in dev-java

Octopus is a simple Java-based Extraction, Transformation, and Loading (ETL) tool. It may connect to any JDBC data sources and perform transformations defined in an XML file.

the build process of octopus is completly ugly. it's only possible to build octopus from source if CLASSPATH and MAVEN_HOME are set to a blank string. it's also quite tricky to remove the packed jars and they're even using an packed version of maven. working on it... :)

octopus-3.0.1.ebuild

finally, i've finished my ebuild which builds octopus from source. i've removed
all the crappy maven stuff from the build process. i've written an new
build.xml which makes this possible.

There were some xml-files which are needed in one jar file. i've grabbed them
from the binary distribution. they're needed and a tarball which contain them
can be found here:

my build.xml file which makes maven unnecessary. :)

during my work with octopus i've noticed dev-db would be a better place than dev-java
