Following the new java policy, packages shouldn't rely on packed jars, dependencies need to be added on our own packages and used.
Created attachment 45541 [details] xerces-2.6.2-r1.ebuild this ebuild should remove the packed jar issue
Created attachment 46528 [details] xerces-2.6.2-r1.ebuild this ebuild corrects the DEPEND/RDEPEND problem i had in the past. now i know how to resolve them correctly ;)
xml-stylebook (stylebook.jar) is still needed as well as packages from ant-tasks in the tools directory.
We face evils -- Xerces has circular dependencies of the following: Xerces (xercesImpl.jar) Xalan which depends on Xerces (xalan.jar) XML-Stylebook which depends on Xerces and Xalan. Ant Optional (ant-tasks iirc in Gentoo) which depends on Xalan and Xerces. What would be the suggested course of action?
Created attachment 47394 [details] xerces-2.6.2-r1.ebuild ok, updated the ebuild. this one should be suffient since all dependency issue are now removed. i've also removed the "pointer" to the documentation which was printed when pkg_postinst() was called.
done for xerces-1.3.1 , i've replaced the makefile with an build.xml which makes compiling on amd64 possible. the packed jars which come with the tools distfile are only needed for generating the full documentation: 2. Building Documentation You must download the tools required for building the documentation from the distribution page (http://xml.apache.org/dist/). Download the following tools ZIP file: Xerces-J-tools.x.y.z.zip i've removed the tools zipfile from SRC_URI, generation of the javadocs is still possible.
done for 2.6.2, nearly the same here. i've completly removed the tools src tarball from SRC_URI. stylebook is only needed to generate some kind of documentation. i've bumped the new one to xerces-2.6.2-r2 , for 1.3.1 the fixed version is xerces-1.3.1-r1 , btw.
done for version 2.3.0 in xerces-2.3.0-r1. fixed now
