[jira] Commented: (ZOOKEEPER-640) make build.xml more configurable to ease packaging for linux distros

["Patrick Hunt (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-640?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12798121#action_12798121 ] 

Patrick Hunt commented on ZOOKEEPER-640:
----------------------------------------

Great to see this being packaged for Debian! Shouldn't be a problem. A few questions though:

1) contrib include/exclude seems fine to me, good idea

2) for the "additional.lib.dir" :

a) you want this changed in build.xml at the toplevel and also for the contribs, right? Same variable name
used in both ok?

b) do you really want a dir or a path string instead, ie additional.lib.dir or additional.libs.path (where libs.path is a list of directories/jars)

libs.path would give you more control (you would specify/order the jars explicitly vs just *.jar") This might be important
for example if you have multiple jars with same capability but diff version... it would require you to specify the
list of jars though.

> Hi,
> I started packaging Zookeeper for Debian[1][2]. Thereby I had a problem excluding contrib/rest from the build without patching the upstream tarball. Could you please add some properties to your build.xml that allow me to (de)select contribs? In the example below I can easily override the properties:
> <project name="zookeepercontrib">
>   
>   <property name="contribfilesetincludes" value="*/build.xml" />
>   <property name="contribfilesetexcludes" value="" />
>   <fileset id="contribfileset" 
>            dir="." 
>            includes="${contribfilesetincludes}"
>            excludes="${contribfilesetexcludes}"
>            />
>   <target name="compile">
>     <subant target="jar">
>      <fileset refid="contribfileset" />
>     </subant>
>   </target>
> Could you please also add a line to project.classpath:
>   <path id="project.classpath">
>       <fileset dir="${additional.lib.dir}" includes="*.jar"/>
> For Debian I may not compile based on the jar files in lib but must use the jars already in Debian.
