Just thinking out loud here... feel free to ignore me. ;-) Wayne - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org

This would normally be my response too... but I personally dislike profiles for things if there is another way to handle it. Profiles can make builds more complicated than absolutely necessary. Surely the rpmbuild plugin could be adjusted to check the OS, or check for the existence of the "rpmbuild" executable or something, and then ignore with a warning (or fail, configurable in the plugin config) if it wasn't found, or something...? This just seems like a common use case and maybe the rpmbuild plugin devs should find a little bit smarter way to handle it. [JN] But then you run the release on a unix box that hasn't had RPMBuild installed and it completes (no one ever checks the warnings right yet there is no rpm!) But it's ok as you can then have a profile to enable the doNotFailIfRPMBuildIsNotFound - but then you don't like profiles and you are back where you started... IIRC the rpm plugin works on windows if you have Cygwin installed and the rpmbuild package for the anti-profile people out there. /James ** This message is confidential and intended only for the addressee.
