Re: including vimclojure in Fedora 18

Michel,

Excellent!

I've done some additional work on the package, including building the vimclojure nailgun server and installing the jar (as the guidelines require using mvn-rpmbuild). In the source, the server uses lein to build, but it's a trivial Maven POM to write because all it's doing is compiling Java with no external dependencies other than Clojure. Therefore, I just added the POM to the spec and voila, it builds :)

Since I'm now installing the vimclojure nailgun server, I think it's reasonable to include nailgun as a dependency. Here's the experience the user can expect:

(in terminal #1)
sudo yum install vimclojure
java -jar /usr/share/java/vimclojure/server.jar

(in terminal #2)
vim test.clj
type: let g:vimclojure#WantNailgun = 1
type: (println "Hello, World")
type: \et

And voila, they see "Hello, World" printed in a split buffer.

That's a pretty stellar experience compared to what it takes to get VimClojure setup manually.

I opted to name the package "vimclojure" since it's providing both the server jar (in JPP-compliant fashion) and the vimfiles. In review, we could consider sub-packages, but for now it really makes a lot of sense to me to keep it together.

I'd say the package is ready for review!

Please note that I changed the name of the repository. It's now here:

https://github.com/mojavelinux/fedorapkg-vimclojure

p.s. Btw, the vimclojure server jar will come in handy for leiningin as it will provide the jar file needed for lein-tarsier (if you want to only use system jar files).

Hi Dan,

I'd be thrilled to sponsor you if you'd like to be a developer.
Failing which, one of Kushal or myself can officially propose the
package, with your help in case we run into problems.

Fedora packaging guidelines currently does not allow for optional
dependencies (recommendations/suggestions) -- athough I believe
openSUSE and Mandriva use them. So I'd say it depends on whether it
adds substantial functionality or not; if not, maybe a mention in a
README.Fedora file suggesting the other package be installed is
sufficient.

Let me know what you think.

Best,
