One of the SIG's 3 reviewers here... I appreciate all the work Fabio and Miro do (and am looking at making more time to help out on the opening-PR front as well). rpms/javapackages-tools (the RPM) was never maintained by us. mizdebsk only just recently orphaned it. I think what you're thinking of is modules/javapackages-tools (the module form, which contained other packages). We picked up a lot of packages shipped in said module (which wasn't made available in either the ursine or modular buildroots) and maintained them in their ursine form. One very prominent example is a portion of the apache-commons-* packages. See [0] and [1] for a complete list of the overlap.

Please don't randomly modularize things unless you have a great reason for doing so. Please check with any dependencies you have may have to see if they're invested in modularizing their packages as well. Consider the community beyond just your packages. > Question (not for Fabio specifically, but for the list) modules can have > (Build)Requires on other modules > right? Yes, if the module maintainer is willing to expose their module in the BUILDROOT. That was PKI's problem: mizdebsk orphaned the ursine packages, exposed them in a module available only at runtime, and refused to open it up for build-time use. He wanted us to maintain our own versions of all of the packages we use that he modularized. We chose to contribute what additional maintenance time we have to the SIG, where more than just us can benefit from them. We did not modularize PKI (in Fedora). > > Regards, > > Hans > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
