How to run EAP / AS 7 - EDG - RHEV-M / ovirt - SOA-P side-by-side on a rpm based platform?
by Carlo de Wolf
I would like to come to a common packaging strategy for both RHEL &
Fedora for the whole AS 7 family and forward that as a recommendation to
Trevor.
Specifically the issue I want to address is installing and possibly
running AS 7 and ovirt side-by-side.
Subhendu and Julian put forward Jindrich's proposal of "Dynamic Software
Collections".

Would it make sense to use DSC as a base strategy?
Who sees any obstacles and possible solutions?
To kick off:
- interdepencies of DSCs are yet undefined, thus the whole multi-version
dependency management issue is only lifted to another level
- /opt is off-limits for Fedora. Can we use /usr/share instead?

Developer question
by Doron Fediuck
Hi guys,
Something I see a lot in mailing lists is an issue of permissions
for developers;
When a developer will install JBoss from RPM, it'll probably get
root permissions and the jboss:jboss as an owner.
A developer who wishes to deploy his/her work, will need to hack
the deployments folder so his maven or any other framework could
actually deploy it.
I'd like to know what's your view on it, and will you consider
providing some script or install option for developers (jboss-set-dev ?)
in order to handle this and maybe other issues?

Fix for JBossQL and EJBQL grammars with JavaCC 5
by Juan Hernandez
Hello,
I prepared the attached patch that I think can be used to be able to
compile JavaCC grammars with version 5, which is the one included in Fedora.
Let me know what you think.
Regards,

Initial import of the AS7 spec - soon
by Marek Goldmann
Hiya all,
We're progressing very well with updates, I would like to thank
especially Juan for his awesome work!
We're *very* close to have all required package set in Fedora to run AS7
in *web profile*. The last big dependency is Hibernate 4, but we're
working on making it possible to package (yes, Gradle).
In the next couple of days I'll submit the initial spec file for JBoss
AS 7.1.0.Final for review. This will be still a spec file in works of
course, as there may be still some things to tweak.
Onward!

JBoss AS RPM weekly news, 18th March
by Marek Goldmann
Hi all,
Below you can find progress info for the last week. I apologize for
sending it so late.
1. Current status: 92/73/12/6/1
92 packages in total
73 packages in Rawhide / F17
12 packages waiting for review
6 packages in progress
1 packages having issues
I took my review hat this week and managed to review a couple of
packages. Comparing to last week we have 14(!) new packages in Rawhide
and many new cleaned and submitted for review, yay!
2. JBoss AS weld, ejb3 and jpa modules commited
We have now almost everything what's needed for having complete web
profile. JPA module is submitted partially as there is no Hibernate 4
package at this moment. We need to look at it very, very soon. Blocker
for packaging it is the requirement to have Gradle first in Fedora.
Carlo, anything new on this topic?
3. Web profile at runtime
I'm now going to solve any runtime issues with out web profile
standalone.xml file, so we can start running the TCK tests ASAP.
4. AS 7.1.1.Final released
Upstream released 7.1.1.Final. Although it would be good to rebase to
this version - there is still some work to do on 7.1.0.Final. I'm not
sure what's the best idea here. Rebase now? Or wait? Or maybe ship
7.1.0.Final in Fedora initially? What's your opinion?
5. CLI
The other plan for upcoming days is to enable management via CLI.
That's all for now, thanks!

JBoss AS RPM weekly news, 10th March
by Marek Goldmann
Hi All,
This week we have some nice progress on packaging AS7! Read on!
1. Current status: 85/59/25/1
85 packages in total
59 packages in Rawhide / F17
25 packages in progress
1 packages having issues
Yes, 14 new packages were added and 9 pushed to Fedora comparing to last
week. This is a great progress mostly thanks to Ricardo Argüello!
But we need reviewers at this point. If you can help us - please take a
package from the table below and review it. Preferable - please take a
look at all jboss-*-api packages, as they are blockers for other packages.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JBossAS7#Current_progress
Don't forget to update the table afterwards! Thanks in advance!
2. JBoss AS web module is commited!
This means that we have initial support for web apps. I was able to
deploy a simple web app based on JSP. More testing coming soon.
3. Legal issues resolved
All legal issues we had in past were resolved upstream - I cleared
everything which was our direct dependency at this point, yay!
4. Updating packages
I'm also in the progress of updating packages that are already in
Fedora. This includes version bumps and removing the 'jboss/' directory
which is mentioned here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JBossAS7#Rules_for_JBoss-related_packages
5. TCK
The plan for Fedora 17 is to package web profile, as you know. Carlo and
I are preparing ourselves to run TCK test on the packaged AS.
6. Close?
I feel that we are pretty close to stop adding new packages to have web
profile backed in. This is very good news, as we can slowly start to
focus on testing and usability of the distribution rather than only on
packaging effort.
That's all. As usual - feel free to add your notes!

JBoss AS RPM weekly news, 4th March
by Marek Goldmann
Hi all,
This week was pretty silent, as I was on PTO, but still I have some good
news about upcoming changes!
1. Current status: 69/50/18/1
69 packages in total
50 packages in Rawhide / F17
18 packages in progress
1 packages having issues (jboss-logging-spi package submitted by mistake)
Not much progress here.
2. AS7 web module is coming
Over the week I was working on enabling AS7 web module and I have it
ready on my local disk. It's building fine (jsf-impl is packaged!). I'm
testing it at runtime now. This will take some time as I want to push it
to repo once I can deploy a simple web app to it.
3. Legal issues
Some of our packages were blocked by legal, but now we have a resolution
for all our legal issues and I'll incorporate it in the next few days.
That's all from my side this week, I promise to have great news next week :)
Thanks!
