On this note, I prepared a COPR repo with latest stable WildFly: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/goldmann/wildfly/ This is basically the Fedora spec with one, but big difference - I'm not building anything from source but just repacking the distribution. It took 1 hour to adjust everything and set up the builds. Compared to the time I spent on the "proper" packaging (over one year) method this is like night and day. --Marek On Fri, 2015-08-07 at 11:13 +0200, Marek Goldmann wrote: > Hiya, > > It's been long time since I talked to you guys.
