Hi,

I have another packaging question about symlinks.

We read in the guidelines that all jars and class files should go under %{_javadir} (/usr/share/java by default). We were initially thinking of symlinking all the jars and class files but due to our installation dir structure, it will be incredibly messy. Could we put the whole OpenLiberty install under /usr/share/java/openliberty? I ask because we have jars in locations other than lib and I think moving everything is going to be problematic to manage.

Yours Sincerely,

All binaries in Fedora packages must be compiled from source at package
build time. No pre-built binaries can be shipped.

This is right in the guidelines:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/what-can-be-packaged/

"No inclusion of pre-built binaries or libraries

All program binaries and program libraries included in Fedora packages
must be built from the source code that is included in the source
package."
 
To clarify, that means built from source using Fedora build infrastructure, not built from the source somewhere else and then put in the rpm.
 
Please make sure the project as published is set up to be rebuilt
easily, ideally using standard tools and conventions. Thanks.
