Description Jonathan Underwood 2015-08-24 12:42:05 UTC
Spec URL: https://jgu.fedorapeople.org/java-mersenne-twister.spec
SRPM URL: https://jgu.fedorapeople.org/java-mersenne-twister-20-2.fc22.src.rpm
Description: The Mersenne Twister is an exceptionally high-quality, fast random number generator.  This package contains two versions of it in Java, written by Sean Luke.  MersenneTwister is a complete drop-in subclass replacement for java.util.Random.  MersenneTwisterFast is algorithmically identical, except that it isn't synchronized, and it's not a subclass of Random.  This, plus other speed improvements, makes it over twice the speed.

I will take this review.

Patch to fix javadoc errors

The build fails in Rawhide because javadoc has gotten pickier about the HTML it will accept.  The attached patch fixes the errors and a couple of the warnings.  I have made no attempt to do anything about the missing @param, @return, and @throws tags.

Thanks very much Jerry. I applied your patch, and there was one remaining error, so I fixed that in the modified patch included in this srpm. I'll contact the author and send him the patch.

Comment 4 Jerry James 2015-08-26 02:20:27 UTC
Just to satisfy my curiosity, what was the point of changing the BR:
jpackage-utils to BR: javapackages-tools?  It doesn't appear to me that any of
the tools are actually used.

It's a little odd that the -javadoc subpackage has a Group tag when the main
package does not.  I suggest dropping the Group tag in -javadoc.

There are two SHOULD items that you don't have to address, but, well, should.
- Ask upstream to include a license file.
- Write a %check script

Simply that jpackage-utils was renamed to javapackages-tools which Provides jpackage-utils (afaics anyway).

OK, will do.

Well... as you know upstream doesn't distribute these as a packaged tarball or anything, simply making the two files available for download, so I'm not sure it makes much sense to ask. I'll mention it anyway, when I send the patch.

> - Write a %check script

Will give that some thought.


Many thanks for the review, and the work on the original package!
