Hello,

since we seem to agree that velocity's package dependencies are correct,
I am going to downgrade the severity now with the intention to close
this bug report completely when the remaining issues are resolved. It
appears that antlr3, cglib and joptsimple can be compiled from source.
Could you file separate bug reports for these packages and provide more
information why they FTBFS for you?

Regards,

Markus

So far, I think antlr3, cglib, joptsimple look like their local
failures are due to missing ant.  I'll try to file individual bugs
against those packages.

Bug#814679: velocity: Package rebuilt from source is missing most of its dependencies

Hi Daniel,

Actually this is normal. The provided dependencies are no longer added
to the package dependencies since maven-debian-helper 1.6.8. These
dependencies are supposed to be pulled by the package calling velocity
and requiring them.

This change was necessary because some packages had excessive dependency
sets caused by the provided Maven dependencies. A common example is the
Servlet API, it's often found as a provided dependency and it shouldn't
be added to the package dependencies since it's provided by the
container running the code anyway.

Which packages did you see failing to build? Their build dependencies
should be updated if they accidentally relied on the dependencies pulled
by velocity through maven-debian-helper.

Bug#814679: velocity: Package rebuilt from source is missing most of its dependencies

[Daniel Schepler]

Source: velocity
Version: 1.7-4
Severity: serious

When I rebuild velocity using pbuilder, the build succeeds; however, the 
result only has a couple dependencies as compared to the set in the official 
package:

# dpkg-deb -I /var/cache/pbuilder/result/velocity_1.7-4_all.deb

 Description: Java-based template engine for web application
  Velocity is a Java-based template engine. It permits anyone to use
  the simple yet powerful template language to reference objects
  defined in Java code.
  When Velocity is used for web development, Web designers can work in
  parallel with Java programmers to develop web sites according to the
  Model-View-Controller (MVC) model, meaning that web page designers
  can focus solely on creating a site that looks good, and programmers
  can focus solely on writing top-notch code. Velocity separates Java
  code from the web pages, making the web site more maintainable over
  the long run and providing a viable alternative to Java Server Pages
  (JSPs) or PHP.

(The way I discovered this is in my archive rebuild scripts that dogfood the 
results to build other packages.  Without the dependency of velocity on ant, 
maven-debian-helper no longer indirectly pulls in ant, and I've started seeing 
a few packages that FTBFS because of that.)
