JakartaCommonsRename

Jakarta-commons rename to apache-commons

This page hosts information about the next rename of jakarta-commons packages[1] to apache-commons[2].

This is important
THIS CHANGE SHOULD HAPPEN IN RAWHIDE ONLY.

How

This part should give you information how to rename and rebase your jakarta package to create a new apache one.

• check if new upstream version exists, if so...use it
• rename spec file (pretty obvious eh?)
• add BuildArch: noarch
• replace %define with %global (this policy is newer then jakarta spec files) and define substitute names. For example
  • %global base_name logging
  • %global short_name commons-%{base_name}
• make sure Source0 URL, project URL etc all use macros for name/version of the package
• strip changelog (and create your own stating that this is rename of jakarta- package)
• add Provides/Obsoletes for package (! also for javadoc sub-packages)
  • you might need to add new Epoch so that package can replace jakarta-commons version with same version
  • for javadoc sub-packages it is enough to obsolete
• be sure to add java-devel to BR/R, otherwise things can fail because normally gcj devel version is pulled in
• build package with maven if there is usable pom.xml file
  • you will need additional R/BR in specfile.
  • in special cases depmap might need to be created (see apache-commons-logging for example)
  • in some cases tests can fail due to various reason. Until maven is updated this can be worked around by adding -Dmaven.test.skip=true to mvn-jpp
  • if the pom file depends on maven-release-plugin you will have to patch it out of pom. This is provided by maven2 package for now (review bug open for separate plugin as of now)
  • call %add_to_maven_depmap GROUP_ID ARTIFACT_ID %{version} JPP %{name}
    • GROUP_ID/ARTIFACT_ID are in maven repositories. You should leave also older calls to add_maven_depmap if it uses wrong GROUP_ID/ARTIFACT_ID to ensure backward compatibility
    • if original jakarta-commons package didn't provide pom file, make sure that entry for this package is removed from maven2-common-poms and include backward compatible add_to_maven_depmap
• make sure you are creating all needed symlinks in _javadocdir/javadir
• standard packaging guidelines apply of course

Progress

Following table lists packages in jakarta-commons, their cross-dependencies and owners responsible for them. Packages with no dependencies can be renamed immediately. Others should wait for their dependencies to rename first.

Package	Owner	Dependencies	Status
commons-collections	devrim/carl	None	DONE[3]
commons-compress	Red	None	DONE[4]
commons-el	sochotni	None	DONE[5]
commons-codec	mbooth	None	DONE[6]

commons-beanutils	sochotni	collections, logging	DONE[16]
commons-cli	spike	lang, logging	DONE[17]
commons-jxpath	sochotni	beanutils, collections, logging	DONE[18]
commons-dbcp	spike	collections, pool	DONE[19]
commons-digester	mbooth	beanutils, logging	DONE [20]
commons-modeler	mbooth	beanutils, collections, digester, logging	DONE[21]
commons-validator	mbooth	beanutils, collections, digester, logging	DONE[22]
commons-configuration	sochotni	beanutils, codec, collections, dbcp, digester, jxpath, lang, logging, pool	DONE[23]

• jakarta-commons-httpclient - It is not part of apache commons but a top-level project. As a result we will leave jakarta-commons-httpclient package for now and package the new one allowing the 2 to coexist.
