[adding jpp-discuss to the list] -------- Message transféré -------- De: Jason L Tibbitts III <tibbs at math.uh.edu> Sujet: Ownership of /etc/maven/fragments and /usr/share/maven2/poms Date: 28 Jun 2008 17:22:51 -0500 Sorry for the resend; this should have the correct address for the java list. I hope I'm CC'ing this sufficiently; I do not know if any representatives form the Java group are members of fedora-packaging. I was reviewing my first maven-using package and ran into an issue with the Java packaging guidelines. Namely that they specify that every maven-using package should own /etc/maven/fragments and /usr/share/maven2/poms, which contradicts our usual policy on directory ownership by multiple packages. I don't really understand why the packages would need to own those directories; jpackage-utils already serves as a kind of filesystem package for java, it already owns /etc/maven and several java-related directories in /usr/share, and all of the packages which would own files in the two directories at issue already depend on it. So I think jpackage-utils should just own /etc/maven/fragments and /usr/share/maven2/poms and we can tweak the guidelines to not specify that the individual packages own these directory. Another possibility would be to shift this off to a java-filesystem package analogous to our other *-filesystem packages which could own these and various other java directories. This would fix ownership issues for 22 packages currently. Another separate bug related issue is the fact that the contents of /etc/maven/fragments do not seem to be configuration files, and so probably should not live under /etc. I do not have sufficient Java knowledge to propose a solution, however. - J< -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging -- Nicolas Mailhot
