Update libnb-platform18-java first. + + Due to historical and practical reasons the platform modules are packaged + separately. libnb-platform18-java is easier to maintain and less error + prone which reduces the maintenance work as a whole. src:netbeans builds + exactly the same modules but depends on binary packages from + libnb-platform18-java in the end. You can simply copy&paste the patches + from libnb-platform18-java and be done with it. + + Download the sources for libnb-platform18-java from: + https://netbeans.org/downloads/zip.html + Run the orig-tar.sh script on *-platform-src.zip and create a DFSG + compliant tarball. + +2. Download the sources for Netbeans from: + https://netbeans.org/downloads/zip.html + Run the orig-tar.sh script on *-src.zip and create a DFSG compliant + tarball. + +3. Refresh all Netbeans patches as necessary. + + The patches are labeled netbeans-platform-* for platform specific patches + and netbeans-[module|or_another_descriptive_phrase] for src:netbeans + specific patches that work around various issues with the build system + because we have to replace all embedded jar files with system jar files and + because we only build the core features and not everything. All other + patches are Debian specific because of either outdated or too recent + dependencies. + +4. You can empty the binaries-list files with this command to avoid that the + build system starts to download jar files from the internet. + + find . -type f -name "binaries-list" -exec sh -c '> {}' \; + +5. Fix build failures by disabling modules in nbbuild/cluster.properties or by + adding new build-dependencies to debian/control. + +6. Update debian/linked-jars accordingly. In most cases it is sufficient to + update version numbers. A quick look at netbeans-empty-binaries-list.patch + will tell you what kind of version the build system expects. + + +TODO: + + * It would be nice to support HTML5/Javascript and Maven out-of-the box. -- Alioth's /usr/local/bin/git-commit-notice on /srv/git.debian.org/git/pkg-java/netbeans.git _______________________________________________ pkg-java-commits mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-commits
