RFS: libgstreamer-java
 

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "libgstreamer-java".

* Package name : libgstreamer-java
Version : 1.3-1
Upstream Author : Andres Colubri, Levente Farkas, Tal Shalif, Wayne
Meissner and Others
* URL : http://code.google.com/p/gstreamer-java/
* License : LGPLv3
Section : java

It builds these binary packages:
libgstreamer-java - Java interface to the gstreamer framework

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 576984

My motivation for maintaining this package is: Gstreamer is a very
popular multimedia framework. I use it for an application I develop
and I believe it may be useful to other developers as well.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libgstreamer-java
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libgstreamer-java/libgstreamer-java_1.3-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards
Samuel Lucas Vaz de Mello

Hello,

I just found something simpler than get-orig-source, just append
"debian jh_repack" at the end of the line in debian/watch.

Hello again,

I still think it would be better to use ant in building, it runs the
JUnit test suite, builds the javadoc, and also it properly cleans up
(by running: ant clean)

If you decide to use ant, you will need to add ant to Build-Deps.
Also, nbproject/project.properites need to be patched for ant to be
able to find the jna, junit4 & swt java libraries (Just change lib/ to
/usr/share/java/). Building can be done by running: ant jar

It is required to run the JUnit tests during build. So you will need
to add junit4, ant-optional & gstreamer0.10-plugins-base to
Build-Depends-Indep. Testing can be done by running: ant test

You also need to build the javadoc, also it has to be in a separate
package (libgstreamer-java-doc), if I understand correctly (I hope
someone would correct me if I am wrong), you will need to add
default-jdk-doc & libjna-java-doc to Build-Depends-Indep. javadoc can
be built by running: ant javadoc

Done.

It seems we don't need default-jdk-doc nor libjna-java-doc.

I have uploaded a new package that uses ant and builds the -doc package too.
Can you please review it?

Thank you,

- Samuel

I remember reading on that list to link the API documentation against
default-jdk-doc & API documentation of other java libs that the package
depends on.

Also, it was mentioned that those doc packages should be in Recommends
field of the API documentation package.

Sorry, I didn't know that.

Is this a new standard? I went to packages.debian.org and randomly
picked some java-doc packages [1-5] to see how they implement this,
but I found no package that depends on other -doc packages.

Also, I didn't understand how the other -doc packages will affect the
javadoc compilation. Do we need to tell the javadoc compiler where the
documentation for other libraries are located?

Yes, it is rather new[1] and I suspect that the only a handful of
packages currently do this. Also we have very little tool support for
it, which does not help.

I was asked the same question and figured it would fit good in our
FAQ[2]. If you want a "live example", have a look at libfreemarker-java[3].
The short version is that you will need to B-D(-I) on the doc packages
and tell javadoc where to find them.

The result of it is that freemarker's javadoc has functional links to
the other doc packages (assuming you have those installed of course).

[1] It was ratified with the 0.35 upload of java-common. Sadly the
actual changelog entry just mention a "policy change", so it is not
directly visible.

Thank you for the information. It was really helpful.

I have just uploaded the new package to mentors.debian.net with the
changes. Can someone review it?

Thanks,

* If I understand correctly, you should also link against
libjna-java-doc, ie. in your patch you should also add:

-link /usr/share/doc/libjna-java-doc/api

Also, libjna-java-doc & default-jdk-doc should be added to Recommends
of libgstreamer-java-doc

* Please add DEP3 headers[1] to the patch.

* I see that debian/copyright did not mention that CC-by-SA license
for freedesktop icons in gstreamer-java/src/org/freedesktop/tango/

Btw, CC-by-SA 2.5 license is considered DFSG-incompatible [2]

Also when I run: licensecheck -r gstreamer-java --copyright , I
found that some files have other licenses like "MIT/X11 (BSD like)",
that needs to be documented in debian/copyright

* After using ant for building, ${java:Depends} does not get
substituted with the required java libs, to fix this, I made a patch
(attached here) to add the Class-Path to manifest, in order for
jh_depends to be able to find out the correct java dependencies.

Please try to get this patch to upstream, probably it won't be
accepted the way it is, because build-impl.xml should not be edited
manually, but hopefully the upstream would get the idea &
implemented in a proper way.
