hello Java maintainers, I consider upgrading freeplane from 1.7.10 to 1.9.x. Unfortunately, there are quite a few challanges (some might not be valid and some might be missing):
- gradle 6.x (7.x?) -> that's why I haven't started yet. I realize you are working hard on this. - redo patches for gradle build system - additional/new dependencies: - twemoji (unicode emojis): dependency twemoji-parser which depends on a twitter scala library (2-3 teams involved) -> see the lengthy discussion @ #878875 plus links - knopflerfish 8.0.4->8.0.11 -> _might_ need to update libknopflerfish-osgi-framework-java - org.freeplane.dpolivaev.mnemonicsetter:mnemonicsetter 0.5->0.6 (easy) - com.github.robtimus:data-url: 1.0.1->2.0 - com.bulenkov:darcula: 2018.2->2021.7 - new: com.twelvemonkeys.imageio:imageio-jpeg:3.6.4 - commons-io and commons-codec now pull an older version -> don't know why, maybe needs patches - org.freeplane.lightdev:simplyhtml: 0.17.3->0.18.5 (easy) - https://repo.spring.io/plugins-release: probably just debug helper - 'org.xbib.gradle.plugin.jflex' version '1.2.1' (downgraded??) - :jsyntaxpane-0.9.6~r156-7 -> https://github.com/Sciss/SyntaxPane (fork!) - new: io.github.gitbucket:markedj:1.0.16 (markdown) - jmapviewer:2.14->2.15 - org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all: 2.4->3.0.8 (fp might update to 4.x soon) - org.apache.ivy:ivy:2.4.0->org.apache.ivy:ivy:2.5.0 - batik: 1.10->1.14 (1.12 is in Debian) - fop: 2.2->2.6 (2.5 is in Debian) - new: 'org.apache.pdfbox:fontbox:2.0.23' (moving target: new/updated dependencies all the time) - OSGi: bnd invocation compatible (5.0.1->5.3.0)? - new logos, licenses, ... - does not work with Java >=16 currently (as of freeplane 1.9.7) (like many other packages I guess) -> will be fixed upstream Is there anyone who would consider to join the freeplane packaging? It is a popular package [1] (although its popularity has decreased because the package is outdated), so I think it is quite nice to have it updated in Debian -> you will have many grateful users :-) [1] https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=freeplane Cheers and Best Regards, Felix -- Felix Natter
