Various packaging improvements

The attached patch contains the following netbeans-platform packaging improvements, let me know if you'd like me to push and build this for devel:

- Symlink to JNA *.so instead of shipping duplicates.
- Build native bits with $RPM_OPT_FLAGS and without stripping.
- Disable empty -debuginfo subpackage.
Comment 1 Omair Majid 2011-09-19 20:11:44 UTC 
Please go ahead and commit this to f17. Or if you cant, let me know and I would be happy to commit it.
Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2011-09-20 19:19:15 UTC 
I've committed the patch to master, but did not try to build it because it no longer builds in Rawhide mock for me for reasons unrelated to this patch:

| You are attempting to build NetBeans using JDK 7 (or higher).
| This is forbidden as it may lead to accidental usage of JDK 7+ APIs.
| Either run Ant with JDK 6, or set nbjdk.home=<JDK 6 home> in /builddir/build/BUILD/netbeans-platform-7.0/nbbuild/user.build.properties
| [...]
| If you are sure you want to build with JDK 7+ anyway, use: -Dpermit.jdk7.builds=true

Additionally, it seems that there are some changes in the f16 branch that should be merged to master: Epoch bump and the fix for bug 717151.  Let me know if you'd like me to take a look at merging these two to master.

Yup, rawhide is using openjdk 7 as the default jdk, and netbeans 7 is not too happy about that. I would like to see what upstream does before using openjdk7 to build it.

That would be great! Any chance you would want to become a co-maintainer of netbeans?
Comment 4 Ville Skyttä 2011-09-20 21:26:29 UTC 
Ok, changes from f16 merged, and additionally I took the liberty of forcing the build with JDK 1.6.0 just to get my changes build-tested (it succeeds in my lock mock now).  I did not submit a build to koji yet as I don't know what might be affected by the 7.0 update and I have no way to test it at the moment.  I'll leave this bug open until the changes get built and into Rawhide as packages.

Regarding co-maintainership, I don't think it would make much sense for me to do it at the moment.  I don't actually use netbeans, I just happened to start looking into it a bit when I was about to push a fix for bug 549903 and found problems getting it to build.
Comment 5 Omair Majid 2011-10-18 22:20:04 UTC 
I have built netbeans-platform for rawhide.
