How's it going with this?

livingsilver94 added a comment.Sep 28 2017, 4:19 PM

I think nobody's working on it. I'd do it myself but I don't know how to split the Eclipse packages, the eclipse-common in particular.

i'd really like Eclipse to get added to the repo! I need it for Uni and it might be a dealbreaker sadly.

How is it a deal breaker? Have you tried downloading the source, unpacking the tar.gz file, and then running the binary? While I don't use Eclipse personally anymore, I'm fairly sure I recall this process working fine in the past. Would it be nice to have it packaged? Sure. But it shouldn't be a deal breaker for you :)

If you are interested in packaging this you'll have to use patterns to spilt the packages. You can use zlib as a simple example, simply pass the file name to it. Some common sense as well as use of lseopkg can help you figure out how to spilt it. You can also take a look at libreoffice as a more complex package with lots of build sources and splitting.

Still a deal breaker. This means no patches for solus related bugs, no auto upgrades, extra effort for installation.

The fact is, packaging Eclipse is a massive, insane work. Even its developers admit it's hard, in fact only rpm-based distros have Eclipse in repository built from source (excluding Debian/Ubuntu, maybe), as there are handy tools to package it (Eclipse is Red Hat, remember...). Because of that, Eclispe developers have the intention to provide a flatpak for the upcoming major release.

With that said, my current package.yml does package eclipse-platform, it lacks of eclipse-jdt. There's work to be done but we're not starting from the ground. Any help is appreciated :)
