Hello there,
As you know Sun Java is now GPL compatible, so Fedora is planning to
land it as soon as possible in the repositories. I might suspect that
Fedora won't wait for F10 to include Sun Java. Possibly Sun Java would
be pushed to F9 repositories in next month.
so we can now include Electric :) Aanjhaan, you have proposed electric
before. Here you go :)
regards,
Chitlesh

He pointed out that FEL lacks FTDI support.
Both
* libftdi
* libftd2xx
have their SRPMs built by PLD Linux.
If you want we can add these into FEL ?
F10 alpha is out on 29 July. It would be nice to get that in before 29
july so that we could actually have a Livedvd built for F10 alpha in
time :P If not we ought to wait for beta.

While Aanjhan is having a look at Electric, i'll try and get this spec
from PLD linux. Should be pretty straightforward with a ready to use
spec.
tkgate has some locale problems, but the author says they are well
supported. It will need a bit of work.
I'll be away next week. Will have a look at ftdi when I am back, and
hopefully also tkgate. (help welcome.)

Hi Folks,
This is to inform you that I have started work on Electric. And the
spec file for Ecos is in progress. Will submit both for review by
Tuesday, July 1st 2008.
{OT} I have completey moved to Chennai from Bangalore now(Phew! Too
many things I had to move). Will be here for the next 2 months before
heading to Swiss.
Regards,
Aanjhan

Cool, perhaps you can keep an update spec file on your
USERNAME.fedorapeople.org/FEL ?
I'll try to build the rpms during the EURO2008 matches :)

Now the electric software finally has begun to build. There a few MAC
specific files and build rules that needs to be removed for Linux
platform. Also Java3D support needs to be added and after that I
guess, the build goes well, except that it is not able to find a
bsh.jar file which the ant build tool searches. I am working on the
same now, and I guess it should be a minor issue.
I am feeling much relieved to have crossed a big step (build not even
starting or failing with 100s of generic errors) in which I was stuck
up over two days without progress. The reason was some wrong jdk
version mismatch. The electric devel mailing list was helpful in
resolving this. Now at least it is giving some sensible build errors.
Will keep you updated.
Cheers!

As expected, it was a minor issue. had to download Beanshell.jar.
Following changes were needed to finish the build process.
1. download bsh.jar (beanshell), junit, prefuse, lucene and put it in
packaging folder.
2. Remove any reference to AppleInterface in the build.xml file
3. Remove any plugins requiring J3d. (need to work on this to allow
build with 3D enabled)
Have uploaded the build electric binary (11 MB) into
http://tuxmaniac.fedorapeople.org . It would be great if someone tests
and gives me feedback while I modify the spec and patch to allow build
from spec.
@Chitlesh, any improvements with the creation of mailing list for FEL?
Cheers!

Can you update the spec file as well please ?

For some reasons electric just does not run with openJDK JRE on the
fedora repos. It needs the "REAL" JRE. Please follow the instructions
given in the below link and run the .jar by Right clicking and
choosing "Run with Java".
