I will be filing a request to update the Eclipse packaging guidelines.
Hi Everybody,
Now that the new packaging guidelines have been approved
(https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/122) it will soon be time to
implement these improvements in all Eclipse packages. The official
packaging guidelines page will be update soon but for now a summary of
the reconciler solution can be found here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Swagiaal/NewEclipsePackagingGuidelines#Running_the_Reconciler
This will be a great improvement in Eclipse installation experience on
Fedora. It will get rid of bugs like this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=760454 and its elk.
One issue is that the reconciler is all-or-nothing so it will install
all plugins found; even ones which do not have the solution implemented.
This can lead to issues when those packages have updates to offer. So
for best results it we should implement this in all packages at once.
The list of all packages which provide Eclipse plugins is at the end of
this message. If you own one of these packages or are just interested in
helping with this please watch this thread. I will be sending out
instructions on what needs to be done and how to test it. I have
requested a custom Koji tag to do this work
(https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5021) so I will send out the
message as soon as that is approved. The goal is to finish this before
f17 branches from rawhide.
Cheers!
Sami
