Removal of osgi dependency generators

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi.

I'm considering deprecating and eventually removing osgi
Provides/Requires generators. Does anyone have any objections?

I don't see any reason to keep osgi generators. They used to be used
for Eclipse packaging, but Eclipse in Fedora is long gone and it's not
coming back.

I am in the process of rewriting all Java dependency generators to use
the new RPM multi-file protocol [1] and removing dependency on Python.
Our Java generators were implemented in Python, when Python was
assumed to be always installed in every system, which is a false
assumption these days. Instead of rewriting osgi generators I would
rather drop them as their usefulness is doubtful to me.

Of course the removal will need to happen in two phases -- first
disable Requires generation, then after mass rebuild, disable Provides
generator too.
