Hello all,
I'm working on creating a Fedora package for JabRef. One unavoidable
aspect of Fedora packages is: you need to compile against the system
versions of libraries, and can't use bundled jars.
For the most part, this isn't an issue: almost all of the necessary
libraries are already in Fedora, and the four that aren't there
(glazedlists, jpf, ritopt, and spin) don't have any big dependencies
of their own.
However, another bundled jar is lib/plugin/JPFCodeGenerator.jar. As
far as I can tell, this is built from the code at
git://jabref.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/jabref/jabref/jpfcodegen/
What's the status of this code? Is it part of JabRef, or should it be
considered a separate project? The source isn't included in the JabRef
source tarball, and there's no separate source tarball as far as I can
tell, so what I'm doing in the build at the moment is using a git
checkout of that directory. Is that acceptable?
I also had to apply a few other patches to get things to build on
Fedora which may be of general interest -- here's my current spec file
and SRPM:
- http://mef.fedorapeople.org/packages/jabref/jabref.spec
- http://mef.fedorapeople.org/packages/jabref/jabref-2.8-0.2.b.fc16.src.rpm
If you want to try building it on Fedora, you also need the other RPMs
in that directory ...
I'll keep people updated when the package is available in Fedora.
All the best,
MEF
