Hi team,

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

* Package name : sdo-api-java
Version : 1.1.1-1
Upstream Author : Oracle, Sun Microsystems, BEA, Apache Software Foundation and others
* URL : http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tuscany/sdo-java/tags/1.1.1/sdo-api
* License : Apache-2.0 and other
Section : java

It builds these binary packages:
libsdo-api-java - Service Data Objects 2.1 Java API spec
libsdo-api-java-doc - Documentation for libsdo-api-java

The package is lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 584159

My motivation for maintaining this package is:
This library is needed to package EclipseLink.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/sdo-api-java
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/sdo-api-java/sdo-api-java_1.1.1-1.dsc
- Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-java/sdo-api-java.git

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

Regards,

--

Hi

Thanks for looking into packaging EclipseLink and its dependencies, it
is much appreciated it.

I had a quick look at sdo-api-java and I noticed that it has an empty
manifest. Usually eclipse projects requires OSGi-metadata in the
manifests or else they will not touch the libraries.
EclipseLink may use a "Bundle-Classpath" (or so) in their manifest,
which means they embed the entire jar file into their jar. This allows
them to use the jar even if it does not have OSGi-metadata, but it is
suboptimal for Debian.
In this case we should patch EclipseLink to use it as an external jar
(I can help you with that when the time comes).

From debian/copyright - you may want to correct this:

I have not done a full check of the package and I cannot sponsor it
either (IANADD).

Thanks for your review. sdo-api-java is the last missing dependency for
EclipseLink. I will upload a package to mentors for EclipseLink soon.

I included some preliminary OSGi metadata based in a previous package.

usr/share/java/sdo-api.jar:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: J2SE-1.4
Bundle-SymbolicName: commonj.sdo
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-Name: SDO-API
Bundle-Localization: plugin
Bundle-Version: 1.1.1.v200804211122
Bundle-Vendor: Apache Software Foundation
Export-Package:
commonj.sdo="1.1.1",commonj.sdo.helper;version="1. 1.1",commonj.sdo.impl;version="1.1.1"

If something is still missing or wrong we can fix it now or later.

Yep, silly typo, fixed.

- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/sdo-api-java/sdo-api-java_1.1.1-1.dsc
- Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-java/sdo-api-java.git

Cheers,
