Esteve Fernandez commented on THRIFT-71:
----------------------------------------
_Looks like libthrift-cil is supposed to be libthrift-cli (typo)_
No, it's not. See e.g libevolution3.0-cil or libnunit2.2-cil
_Should openjdk-6-jdk be a build-depend or just java6-sdk or maybe just
java-compiler?_
I chose openjdk-6-jdk because java6-sdk is just a virtual package, but I guess
openjdk-6-jdk | java6-sdk is more elegant. However, java-compiler is not enough
to compile Thrift, since the latter depends on a JDK library (e.g. jikes
wouldn't be able to compile Thrift unless the complete Java library was
installed), and it's also a virtual package.
_Why depend on erlang-nox instead of erlang-base or just erlang?_
Because if we depend on erlang, dpkg and apt-get will pull erlang-x11 as well,
which isn't actually required. It doesn't explicitly depend on erlang-base as
it's already a dependency of erlang-nox
_Should we include the examples in the docs package?_
Sure, I didn't create a package for documentation as it's not particularly
complete, but we could simply package examples for the time being.
_I haven't had a chance to actually try building it, but I'll give that a go
later today and report back if I run into any issues. I've got etch and lenny
at my disposal and can give both a shot._
Although it's not the real thing (Debian), the Thrift packages build cleanly in
Ubuntu Hardy and Intrepid, we regularly publish snapshots at our Launchpad PPA.
> Debian packaging for thrift
> ---------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-71
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-71
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Environment: debian stable (etch); probably will work on lenny, but
> untested
> Reporter: Eric Anderson
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: debian-packaging.patch, thrift-71.patch,
> thrift-71_v2.patch, thrift-71_v3.patch, thrift-71_v4.patch
>
>
> We're using thrift on Debian, so I wanted to have a package for easier
> installation by other users.
> Attached is a patch to add packaging for debian to the
> thrift-20080411p1 release. It includes two bug fixes to make the
> tests work reliably: 1) adding /usr/share/java/commons-lang.jar to the
> search path for the java tests, and 2) sleeping 1 second after
> starting the server for the python tests. If the patch is accepted,
> the maintainer should probably be set to the thrift mailing list,
> rather than the example mailing list address I used.
