including vimclojure in Fedora 18

[Dan Allen]

Kushal and Michel,

I noticed that you're leading up the effort to package Leiningen for Fedora
18, for which I'm thrilled. Would you consider sponsering a package for
vimclojure [1] as well? Nailgun is already available in Fedora [2], so it's
just a matter of package the vim scripts. I imagine the package would look
very similar to vim-nerdtree [3], so we could build on that.

I'm not a Fedora packager, but I would be willing to help put the package
together. WDYT? I think this would be big for Clojure developers (obviously
those that use vim, but perhaps developers who haven't experienced good
repl editor integration).

I've prepared a spec file for this package. I've tested it and it works to
my satisfaction.

https://github.com/mojavelinux/fedorapkg-vim-vimclojure

Feel free to move the files to wherever they need to go.

I have two open questions:

1. Should the package be named vim-vimclojure (as it is) or vim-clojure?
2. Should the package require nailgun, or should the user have to install
that package separately? (Note that vimclojure will function without
nailgun)

(Btw, is there a way to mark a package dependency as optional or
recommended?)

-Dan

Hi Dan,

I'd be thrilled to sponsor you if you'd like to be a developer.
Failing which, one of Kushal or myself can officially propose the
package, with your help in case we run into problems.

Fedora packaging guidelines currently does not allow for optional
dependencies (recommendations/suggestions) -- athough I believe
openSUSE and Mandriva use them. So I'd say it depends on whether it
adds substantial functionality or not; if not, maybe a mention in a
README.Fedora file suggesting the other package be installed is
sufficient.

Let me know what you think.

Best,

Michel,

Excellent!

I've done some additional work on the package, including building the
vimclojure nailgun server and installing the jar (as the guidelines require
using mvn-rpmbuild). In the source, the server uses lein to build, but it's
a trivial Maven POM to write because all it's doing is compiling Java with
no external dependencies other than Clojure. Therefore, I just added the
POM to the spec and voila, it builds :)

Since I'm now installing the vimclojure nailgun server, I think it's
reasonable to include nailgun as a dependency. Here's the experience the
user can expect:

(in terminal #1)
sudo yum install vimclojure
java -jar /usr/share/java/vimclojure/server.jar

(in terminal #2)
vim test.clj
type: let g:vimclojure#WantNailgun = 1
type: (println "Hello, World")
type: \et

And voila, they see "Hello, World" printed in a split buffer.

That's a pretty stellar experience compared to what it takes to get
VimClojure setup manually.

I opted to name the package "vimclojure" since it's providing both the
server jar (in JPP-compliant fashion) and the vimfiles. In review, we could
consider sub-packages, but for now it really makes a lot of sense to me to
keep it together.

I'd say the package is ready for review!

Please note that I changed the name of the repository. It's now here:

https://github.com/mojavelinux/fedorapkg-vimclojure

-Dan

p.s. Btw, the vimclojure server jar will come in handy for leiningin as it
will provide the jar file needed for lein-tarsier (if you want to only use
system jar files).

Even clearer instructions to get vimclojure working entirely from this
package:

(in terminal #1)
sudo yum install vimclojure
java -jar /usr/share/java/vimclojure/server.jar
^^ note that once you are inside a clojure project, you'll likely need more
entries in the classpath. For that, you'll likely switch to using the
vimclojure goal from lein-tarsier

(in terminal #2)
vim test.clj
type: :let g:vimclojure#WantNailgun = 1
type: i
type: (println "Hello, World")
type: Ctrl+[
type: \et

To hide the buffer, type: \p

If you want to always use the nailgun connection, put this in your ~/.vimrc

let g:vimclojure#WantNailgun = 1
