It sounds like you did an impressive work.
Thank you!
Testing
That's right, poudriere testport does not do that (yet). But you
can make Ports
framework run tests as part of the build by defining
WITH_TESTING=yes or
WITH_TESTING_PORTS=your/port1 your/port2
in make.conf. In Poudriere context this config is located in
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d
Put tests under the do-test target and its dependencies under
TEST_DEPENDS.
Do not force users to always run tests during the build -
currently this is an
optional feature and is guarded behind WITH_TESTING knob.
OK, thank you!
Stubs
I'm not a Java expert, so not sure what's being talked about
here.
But there is a BINARY_ALIAS knob that can be used to create
stub executables, you might find it useful.
I will look into that.
What's the problem in properly wiring in those dependencies?
Are they heavyweight or not ported yet?
One, slf4j, is ported, OSGi is not ported.
I do not think a library should force a choice of logging
framework on you. That should be the applications choice.
I do not want to needlessly replicate the location of jar files
since it will be hard to debug dependencies. The infamous
classpath.
I see these main valid reasons to put jar files into FreeBSD
ports:
1. they contain or are tied to native code.
2. having the ports infrastructure run the tests so we know when
something breaks.
3. they are a standalone applications, maybe even startable via
service start.
4. they need to be patched to run on FreeBSD or profit from
customization.
The main reason to make a port of JavaCPP instead of just using
the upstream jar was to have the tests. Also to have an official
FreeBSD capable jar before upstream cut a new release two days
ago.
I suspect your patch would be lengthy, so I'd recommend you to
put your ports onto our Phabricator [1] or make a pull request
on GitHub [2]. Get me (@arrowd) on the hook and I will provide
a review.
[1] https://reviews.freebsd.org/
[2] https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports
Is one PR on github ok or should I submit one per port?
Once I am clear about the FreeBSD ports I will try to get one
other PR into dtlnative upstream before I send PR to you.
Thank you!
