[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-3509) Monitor progress of JBT packaging as .rpm for Fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JBoss

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-3509?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13309369#comment-13309369 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-3509:
-----------------------------------

A bit more backstory from Alex K:

* there was actually a jbosstools rpm for a couple years in Fedora
* it was built from sources, including all test dependencies and all the JBossAS/EAP/Wildfly runtimes
* maintaining this massive dependency tree was time consuming and problematic
* the rpm was only just recently removed from Fedora

In future, rather than a built-from-sources RPM, we could instead do:
* a copr rpm [not built from sources, but rather repackaged from upstream update sites]

However, based on feedback from Alexey, Alex, and Martha there's currently no interest in doing so. 

Once we get numbers from *devstudio* rpm installs/usage, we could consider creating a copr rpm for jbosstools in a future release, if there's sufficient interest & community demand.

> John Ford (John64 on Freenode), a college student from Seneca, has expressed interest in packaging JBT for Fedora. This is a placeholder to track that progress as it relates to the JBT 3.0.0 release, possibly as part of Fedora 11?
