Hey,
Do we really need to insist java applications like WildFly and Eclipse
are fully
decomposed down to individual RPM's ?
Could it not be sufficient (and easier) to just have one big RPM for
this ?
Meaning, sure - need to find source and rebuild to check origin but
don't need
to keep coordinating dependency jar updates *unless* there is a known
security issue
for a jar included ?
just thinking out aloud.

Hiya,
It's been long time since I talked to you guys. There are many reasons
for it, but most important one is that I was pulled to do some of the
Docker work on the Middleware side and I simply had no time :/ Even
worse, I do not see the end.
WildFly is in a pretty bad state now, sadly. New versions (8.2.0.Final
and later 9.0.0.Final and of course 9.0.1.Final) are avialable since a
while but it the package has not been updated. I did some work to make
it happen:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1181081
But then I was pulled back to the other work and it basically died.
The current status is a result mostly because of lack of my time, but
also no joy with dealing with such a fragmetized beast. The single
distribution was split into pieces and currently the WildFly depenency
chain contains around 200 packages, whereas I'm alone maintaing about
130 of them (if you want to take a look at packages I maintain:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packager/goldmann/). When I was
working only on packaging of JBoss AS (and later WildFly) this was
doable, but in current situation - I'm not able to maintain it
anymore.
It's really sad to see how this energy put into this effort is now
dissapearing.
There are currently many bugs reported against my packages (WildFly
deps), but I just don't have time to fix them making some people
upset,
which is of course not my intention. Gil is helpful as always sending
some patches, but I don't even have time to look at them :( Basically
-
maintaining WildFly is a full time work for one person.
I need an advice from you guys how to proceed in a best way with this
stuff, since I'm not closely following the Java world in Fedora
anymore
(sorry!) maybe I'm missing some obvious solutions.
Orphaning WildFly (and other packages) is the last thing I want to do,
but I'll do it if we'll not find any solution.
So, here we are, let's talk!
