I'm having problems reviewing a package for some software written in Java. The problem is that the debuginfo package is generated without any source. find-debuginfo.sh prints out the following: extracting debug info from /var/tmp/writer2latex-0.5-buildroot/usr/lib64/gcj/writer2latex/writer2latex-0.5.jar.so cpio: writer2latex05/aot-compile-rpm/usr/lib64/gcj/writer2latex/writer2latex-0.5.jar.1.jar: Cannot stat: No such file or directory cpio: writer2latex05/aot-compile-rpm/usr/lib64/gcj/writer2latex/writer2latex/Application.java: Cannot stat: No such file or directory cpio: writer2latex05/aot-compile-rpm/usr/lib64/gcj/writer2latex/writer2latex/api/BatchConverter.java: Cannot stat: No such file or directory Needless to say, the source isn't actually buried under writer2latex05/aot-compile-rpm/usr/lib64/gcj/writer2latex. Some time ago I reviewed some Java-using packages and the issue was fixable with by making a symlink; see, for example, the ganymed-ssh2 package, which has: # Link source files to fix -debuginfo generation. rm -f ch ln -s src/ch but this method no longer works and in fact that ganymed-ssh2 debuginfo package currently includes no source. Even if I cook up a directory structure and symlinks so that writer2latex05/aot-compile-rpm/usr/lib64/gcj/writer2latex exists and holds all of the files cpio is complaining about, they still don't make it into the debuginfo package. So I'm at a loss. We really need folks who understand java to come up with guidelines and procedures that would answer the kinds of questions which come up when reviewing Java-using packages. There are a number of them in the review queue but nobody understands how to review them. And it really wouldn't if someone documented just how debuginfo generation works. The review ticket in question is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=386661 The ganymed-ssh2 ticket where I first tackled this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=191014 which includes some comments about debuginfo generation being busted for Java. - J< -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
