Bug 89328 – net-p2p/limewire uses packed jars

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Jan Brinkmann (RETIRED) 2005-04-16 09:19:11 UTC]

Following the new java policy, packages shouldn't rely on packed jars, dependencies need to be added on our own packages and used.

limewire-4.8.1.ebuild

First attempt to replace packed jars. Was able to replace:
/opt/limewire/commons-httpclient.jar
/opt/limewire/commons-logging.jar
/opt/limewire/log4j.jar
/opt/limewire/jmdns.jar
/opt/limewire/commons-logging-api.jar
/opt/limewire/xml-apis.jar
/opt/limewire/jmdns-tools.jar
/opt/limewire/jdic.jar

Leaving the following:

/opt/limewire/xerces.jar
/opt/limewire/jcraft.jar
/opt/limewire/vorbis.jar
/opt/limewire/tritonus.jar
/opt/limewire/i18n.jar
/opt/limewire/logicrypto.jar
/opt/limewire/looks.jar
/opt/limewire/jl011.jar
/opt/limewire/id3v2.jar
/opt/limewire/mp3sp14.jar
/opt/limewire/clink.jar
/opt/limewire/icu4j.jar
/opt/limewire/daap.jar
/opt/limewire/LimeWire.jar
/opt/limewire/ProgressTabs.jar
/opt/limewire/MessagesBundles.jar
/opt/limewire/themes.jar

I am quite sure that the last four are part of LimeWire. There are packages for
icu4j.jar and xerces.jar, but from what I could determine, LimeWire checks the
hashes of its dependent jar files. If it doesn't match, LimeWire fails to
start, yielding exceptions to the effect:
com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUILoader$StartupFailedException: file [xerces.jar]
has hash of [3C609A515B91463AC83EB57E62EBD120] instead of expected

Error: LimeWire version 4.8.1

For the other jars, packages will be needed. I've made note of the homepages
for the ones I was able to find.


On a unrelated note, should the package name be suffixed with -bin, seeing as
it is in fact a binary package?

Given that using our own jars instead of the bundled ones causes problems, I'm going to mark WONTFIX.
