Dear all Debian Javaers First of all let me state my SKILLS:
- Java: MEDIUM
- Maven: NEWBIE, although I have gone through several tutorials and
docs [1].
- Ant (if applicable): NONE
- Debian Packaging: MEDIUM-HIGH. Lots of experience backporting,
still not much creating new packages.
What I want to do
-----------------
Package, in Debian Squeeze the esper library of CodeHaus
http://esper.codehaus.org/
in particular the 4.0.0 version available through SVN.
http://svn.codehaus.org/esper/esper/tags/release_4.0.0
and more specifically the main esper subdirectory.
http://svn.codehaus.org/esper/esper/tags/release_4.0.0/esper
Where I am now
--------------
On upstream:
* Using upstream sources and invoking "mvn jar:jar", I get the .jar
file without problems.
* If I do a "mvn package" o "mvn install" the tests get execute which
require a working mysql setting which I don't have (and would not
like to set it up right now).
On Debian package:
* I created a control file, a changelog and a basic rules file taken
from http://wiki.debian.org/Java/MavenBuilder
THE PROBLEMS
------------
When I issue "debuild" I get TWO MISSING DEPENDENCIES: Junit and MySQL
Missing:
----------
1) junit:junit:jar:debian
Path to dependency:
1) com.espertech:esper:jar:4.0.0
2) junit:junit:jar:debian
2) mysql:mysql-connector-java:jar:debian
Path to dependency:
1) com.espertech:esper:jar:4.0.0
2) mysql:mysql-connector-java:jar:debian
About Junit:
I don't understand why Junit can be missing since I have both junit and
junit4 installed.
ii junit 3.8.2-4 Automated testing framework for Java
un junit-doc <ninguna>
junit4 4.8.2-2 JUnit regression test framework for Java
both show up at /usr/share/maven/repo
About mysql-java:
It is true the libmysql-java does not provide any POM content. But on
the other side it is not needed for building.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU (finally)
--------------------------------------
* Is there a way to disable any test phase in the package? I would
like to set the property
maven.test.skip = true
but I don't know where, in the debian/ directory place this command.
* Is there an easy way to generate a POM for libmysql-java?. Should I
file a bug on this package?. But I guess it will not be the only
one not providing POM content.
* Why do I have dependency problems with Junit?. This seems to be a
very common package that should work well with Maven.
* I am still using maven-debian-helper 1.1 from squeeze. Should I
backport the 1.4 version in Sid and Wheezy?
Thanks for your time,
Miguel
