Hi, I have written a proposal on how to ship Maven pom files in Debian packages at <http://wiki.debian.org/Java/MavenRepoSpec>. I would to get an early feedback from you. Feel free to correct any language errors in the wiki directly without any discussion.
I have already used maven-debian-helper on more than 2 dozen packages on my local system (including jetty 6.1.9). Information about maven-debian-helper can be found at <http://wiki.debian.org/Java/MavenBuilder> but the specification should be applicable to packages that are not using Maven for building, too. The major ideas of the spec are: - install the artifacts into a Maven repository at /usr/share/maven-repo/ - create unversioned symlinks to binary jars in /usr/share/java/ - replace hard coded version numbers in pom.xml files by properties - use the <systemPath> element as a temporary workaround in the pom.xml Thanks for helping, Torsten _______________________________________________ pkg-java-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers
