Re: can we remove ant build.xml in maven core?

2015-03-07 Thread Igor Fedorenko
I don't want to change this so close to 3.3.0 release, but I plan to rework build.xml to delegate actual build to existing maven installation. Ant will only do "extract-assembly". This way we will have single maven build and Olivier will still be able use "ant all" to build and install maven with

Hi Emmanuel, How can we help the Debian community? Is there some ML or pointer to the way you're doing the re-packaging? Notice that 3.1.1 is not a great choice: this was really an interim version between 3.0.x and 3.2.x. IMHO, you'd better stay with 3.0.x or switch to 3.2.x. The only fundamen

Hi, I'm co-maintaining the Maven package in Debian and I'd like to mention that the Ant bootstrap is also used in the build process. I'd be very grateful if you could keep maintaining it, the Maven packaging is already quite difficult (we are blocked on the 3.0.5-> 3.1.1 upgrade) and removing the

Olivier, Can you explain why you need this? I had to fix ant build twice in last few days, so I'd like to avoid this in the future if at all possible. -- Regards, Igor On 2015-02-26 13:35, Jason van Zyl wrote: Olivier said he uses it, and presumably wants to maintain it. On Feb 26, 2015, at 1

Sorry if this is a dup of a recent discussion, but I couldn't find anything so here it goes. Why do we use ant to run Maven CI build at https://builds.apache.org? Seems odd we need to maintain both maven and ant builds for maven core. I am quite certain maven is mature enough to bootstrap itself
