Hi. I'm considering deprecating and eventually removing osgi Provides/Requires generators. Does anyone have any objections?
I don't see any reason to keep osgi generators. They used to be used for Eclipse packaging, but Eclipse in Fedora is long gone and it's not coming back. I am in the process of rewriting all Java dependency generators to use the new RPM multi-file protocol [1] and removing dependency on Python. Our Java generators were implemented in Python, when Python was assumed to be always installed in every system, which is a false assumption these days. Instead of rewriting osgi generators I would rather drop them as their usefulness is doubtful to me. Of course the removal will need to happen in two phases -- first disable Requires generation, then after mass rebuild, disable Provides generator too. -- Mikolaj Izdebski [1] https://rpm-software-management.github.io/rpm/manual/dependency_generators.html#multifile-protocol-rpm--420 -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
