Hello all, About a year ago, I suggested that BedeWork (http://bedework.org) be included. I offered to package it with some help. I unfortunately ran out of time. I now have time to package it and hopefully maintain the package. Unfortunately, I haven't written an Java code in a decade or so. I have never messed with Java packages. I also have no experience maintaining for Fedora. The problems I have: This package has a bunch of property files that you have to edit before you build/package the program. (http://www.bedework.org/downloads/3.5/BedeworkManual-3.5.pdf#page=18) These include database names, locations, user/passwords for the database, etc. I do not know if this is normal or not. I do not know how to package this, how to suggest people customize this information, etc.
Usually, I provide edited copied of these files in the src.rpm and copy them into place.
I have no clue about any of the build systems in Fedora, so I will need help with this as well.
This looks to be a pretty tough one to cut your teeth on :-). There look to be one missing dependency as well: avalon.jar (jakarta Excalibur?), which could be pretty major.
Also, the build system seems to depend on downloading required jar files from the bedework servers. This will need to get changed.
