[pkg-eucalyptus-maintainers] More GWT developments

[Brian Thomason]

It looks like Chris is out of town at the moment so I don't have any update
on the GWT bug that was filed, but I did manage to get some packaging done
for guava-gwt bindings (which also needed the packaging of libtruth) and
placed them in the pkg-eucalyptus svn.  guava is currently maintained in
the pkg-java svn but does not include the GWT bindings (as GWT wasn't
available until very recently) so I added it to the pkg-eucalyptus svn so
as to not step on any packaging toes there.

Thomas, do you think you could sponsor libtruth and the guava updates and
then merge my changes over into pkg-java?  I'm going to check tomorrow to
see if the new guava breaks Eucalyptus or not (the transition from 9.0 ->
11.0.2 did) and report back.

One thing to note on the packaging:  it should be fairly complete aside
from the get-orig-source target.  IIUC, this is used by uscan on watchfiles
and does not support fetching from revision control systems?  The only way
I know to obtain the source for truth is:

git checkout e3b40022c6e6b6a4fe33c04f51fb5b0c60e31ece

Upstream does not use tags and provide no download deliverables. (it's
alpha software but Google decided to use it for their Guava teslib library
which is in turn needed to compile guava-gwt-super, part of the guava
bindings for GWT)

I also had to replace one file in truth with a version from a previous
release (0.5.1-beta) as the new one would not compile.  It appears to have
the same functionality just implemented in a much simpler way.

If you have any questions, feel free to hit me up any time.

Thanks!

-Brian
