RPM package

[Mailaender]

I experimented with Linux packaging at https://github.com/Mailaender/com.voclipse.packaging starting with RPM because I can test those without a VM. However the same Maven plugin also claims to have DEB support so I will do that later. Looks like https://build.vogella.com/ci/job/C-MASTER-com.voclipse.packaging/ requires rpmbuild to be installed @vogella for the build to run on our CI server.

It is not pure Java, but some kind of Maven wrapper. I hope this can be integrated into the build at some time. You will notice that there is still a lot TODO, but I wanted to get started with something. The http://freedesktop.org/Standards/menu-spec desktop shortcut is done:

However something is probably not quite right yet. I get one broken dependency because openSUSE does not have osgi(ant) which I just ignored. The IDE looks too empty. I think the plugins do not load properly.

No idea why. Found this log http://paste.opensuse.org/view/simple/13d6b975 in my ~/.eclipse directory. It will also fail when I cd /opt/voclipse && exec voclipse so it is probably not a working directory problem.

sudo apt-get install rpm - done on the Jenkins build server.

Thanks. However it seems my SUSE rpmbuild behaves differently to Ubuntus here.

Unable to create package. Command 'rpmbuild' returned a non-null exit code: 1

Sadly it does not hand over the rpmbuild error message for debugging.

I'm sorry for the confusion. @Mailaender as you already noticed, the C-MASTER-com.voclipse is the job for the old voclipse build from Markus Kuppe. To avoid problems like this I renamed the depending jobs and deactived them on the jenkins build server.

The jobs to build the new Voclipse (aka VDE) are HendrikStill-CBI-VDE : Kepler stable release HendrikStill-CBI-VDE-Luna : Luna development release which also includes changes from the current development branches

The build is documented on this site: http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/voclipse/article.html

We should also rename the Hendrik jobs, https://github.com/vogellacompany/com.vogella.vde/issues/41

Success! https://build.vogella.com/ci/view/voclipse/job/C-MASTER-com.voclipse.packaging/ws/ now spits out an RPM.

Great news. Lets build a package for arch so I can use Pacman :-P

[vogella]

Congratulations! A long running task, but finally success!

Next is probably DEB for @vogella and because that might be easier from Ubuntu plus I have scripts from @OpenRA and OpenChrom I can use as a template. However the task may not be that far fetched as we build https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/tree/bleed/packaging/linux/pkgbuild from an Ubuntu build server, too. I just need to investigate where we got pacman and/or makepkg from.

[hendrikstill]

I was just joking :-) I also guess that the DEB distributions are more important.

[Mailaender]

Actually creating Arch Linux packages is somehow appealing as it is such a simple format. Putting it on my TODO.
