Re: Heads-up: Upcoming netty major version update in Rawhide (Will Break Stuff)

Stano,

I think this is the route I would like to go. I'm happy to create a netty4 compat package based on what Jon creates for netty package in Rawhide.

OK, I have new info on this.

Netty is actually pulled by HornetQ, WildFly JMS implementation. There
is an open bug upstream to upgrade to Netty 4:

         https://issues.jboss.org/browse/HORNETQ-1215

The fix version is the next release (2.4.0.CR1) and this version will be
used by next pre-release (and later Final of course) of WildFly. As you
can imagine I want to package it for Fedora 20 and Rawhide. I don't want
to leave Beta1 in Fedora 20.

So, here is the thing:

This would require upgrading netty in Fedora 20 too, because if we don't
do it - WildFly will not be able to get any new updates to Fedora 20
which is a tragedy for me :)

Is it doable, any ideas?

There's an idea (even if an ugly one) to package netty4 in F20 only (keeing
netty package there on 3.x). In F21+ we'd migrate all other packages to netty
4.x, update netty package to 4.x and make it obsolete netty4 from F20.

With XMvn there would be no (or minor) changes needed to packages that would
like to build against 4.x (and those changes would likely work in rawhide as
well). Most like all you'd have to do is ifdef for (build)requires.
