[cdt-releng-inbox] [Bug 79850] New: cdt should have a source download that can be built
|
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=79850
Summary: cdt should have a source download that can be built
Product: CDT
Version: 2.1
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: cdt-releng
AssignedTo: cdt-releng-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: bkonrath@xxxxxxxxxx
The download for the CDT (org.eclipse.cdt.sdk-2.0.2-linux.x86.zip) contains
source but no way to build this source. Having an upstream source zip is *very*
important in the Linux / OSS world. Building from source allows IVSs and users
to control which tools are used to build the jars and gives ISVs and users
confidence that the exact code used in the binaries is available for audit.
We got around this in 2.0.2 by pre-fetching the sources into
custom tarball. At build time fetching from cvs is disabled so that it can be
built in a chrooted environment.
The problem with build this method is that Red Hat becomes an upstream provider
for this source package which is not actually the case.
