1) Easy is always in the eye of the proposer. If you want to supply a patch to the build of maven that builds an RPM that you think is useful, it might well get committed. Whether the results of running it end up on dist would be the output of more discussion. 2) I find it hard to take seriously the proposition that 'download, untar, run' is a high enough bar to fit anything interesting under it. > > Jos > -- > Jos Backus > jos at catnook.com > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
