MrBean version

[iglosiggio]

The mrbean version i've packaged makes impossible for this software to run (at least w/o a big patch)

MrBean now lives in jackson-modules-base. Using the binary works for arduino but i don't know if the version of the extension has problems with other softwares

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=901354 is a Request For Packaging Mr Bean

Hello @iglosiggio and @stappersg I don't know if you are still interested in this, but I did an experiment to remove MrBean from the Arduino IDE and it seems to work fine without it.

Even if arduino/Arduino#9700 is not accepted by the Arduino project, maybe it can be used as a (big) patch by the Debian package?

Even if the PR is not accepted by the Arduino project, maybe it could be used as a (mega) patch by the Debian package?

I'm not currently using Debian (nor Arduino) but i can help rebase my patches and apply your patch for mr-bean. @ftoledo are you still on Huayra GNU/Linux and interested in some work for a newer arduino package?

Hi @iglosiggio and @stappersg

The Arduino IDE no longer depends on jackson-module-mrbean-2.9.5.jar 🎉

A rebase would be cool.

I noticed that https://github.com/HuayraLinux/pkg-arduino/tree/master/debian/patches has 17 patches. It seems like quite a lot and I wonder if this can be reduced in collaboration with upstream.

These PR's from the Arch Linux project may already have turned some of the debian patches obsolete:

• Arduino: Buildfixes: Better linux packaging and https
• Arduino: Various improvements in build script

Specifically, the ant build.xml now has support for light_bundle, no_docs and local_sources:

ant clean build -Dlight_bundle=true -Dno_docs=true -Dlocal_sources=true

Best,
Thomas
