Hello!
Please cc: me on replies, since I'm not subsribed to this list.
I'm currently looking at JSPWiki, a wiki-system written in Java. Debian
(and [K]Ubuntu) contains a very old version: 2.5.139 vs. 2.6.3. While
trying to build a new package, I detected that JSPWiki contains a lot of
third-parts .jar-files in lib/ and tests/lib/, which are already
provided by separate packages in Debian:
lib/activation.jar usr/share/java/activation.jar
lib/commons-codec-1.3.jar usr/share/java/commons-codec.jar
lib/commons-httpclient-3.0.1.jar usr/share/java/commons-httpclient.jar
lib/commons-lang-2.3.jar usr/share/java/commons-lang.jar
lib/commons-logging-api.jar usr/share/java/commons-logging-api.jar
lib/jaxen.jar usr/share/java/jaxen.jar
lib/jdom.jar usr/share/java/jdom1.jar
lib/jsp-api.jar usr/share/java/jsp-api.jar
lib/log4j-1.2.14.jar usr/share/java/log4j-1.2.jar
lib/lucene-highlighter.jar usr/share/java/lucene-highlighter.jar
lib/lucene.jar usr/share/java/lucene-core.jar
lib/nekohtml.jar usr/share/java/nekohtml.jar
lib/oro.jar usr/share/java/oro.jar
lib/oscache.jar usr/share/java/oscache.jar
lib/servlet-api.jar usr/share/java/servlet-2.3.jar
lib/mail.jar usr/share/java/gnumail.jar
tests/lib/hsqldb.jar usr/share/java/hsqldb.jar
tests/lib/xml-apis-1.0.b2.jar usr/share/java/xml-apis.jar
tests/lib/servlet.jar usr/share/java/servlet-2.3.jar
tests/lib/junit.jar usr/share/java/junit.jar
tests/lib/xercesImpl-2.6.2.jar usr/share/java/xercesImpl.jar
I now ask myself, when and were should I replace those libraries:
1. Only in the final debian/jspwiki/ tree (but build with the original
.jar files)
2. Each time during the debian/rules run
3. Once in the .orig.tar.gz (the download is only availabe as .zip)
Currently I have a mix of 2. and 3. and strip these .jar-files from the
.orig.tar.gz, but add and remove the symbolic links only during the
debian/rules run.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 12945644 16. Jul 17:45 jspwiki_2.6.3.orig2.tar.gz (vanilla)
-rw-rw-r-- 1 8784024 16. Jul 23:32 jspwiki_2.6.3.orig.tar.gz (stripped)
This saves 4 MiB and also tests, if JSPWiki is buildable with the
replacements libs. What do you think?
There are also some more .jar files, which aren't packaged separately
yet:
lib/akismet-java-1.02.jar
lib/ecs.jar
lib/freshcookies-security-0.54.jar
lib/jakarta-tablibs-standard-1.1.2.jar
lib/jakarta-taglibs-jstl-1.1.2.jar
lib/jrcs-diff.jar
lib/jsonrpc-1.0.jar
lib/jug-asl-2.0.0.jar
lib/multipartrequest.jar
lib/sandler.jar
lib/xmlrpc.jar (some < 3.1 version)
tests/lib/custom_rhino.jar
tests/lib/selenium-java-client-driver-0.9.2.jar
tests/lib/selenium-server-0.9.2-patched.jar
The files in tests/lib/ are not shipped inside the final Debian package,
the files in lib/ are. I'm not aware of any other Debian package
shipping them also, so is it okay to include them in jspwiki only or do
I need to split them into their own packages?
Also, if I strip those .jar-files from the .orig.tar.gz, do I still need
to keep their copyright and license-info in debian/copyright?
My current working version is available from
