Congrats, but I think this should be renamed to the
unix-package-maven-plugin. I told my coworkers about this release and
they instantly were confused and wondered what maven and unix had to
do together.

What did they expect it to do?

I'm happy to announce the second alpha release of unix-maven-plugin. This is

o Support for includes/excludes per assembly operation.

= About the plugin =

The unix-maven-plugin is a Maven plugin for producing installation
packages for UNIX platforms.

The current release is 1.0-alpha-2. This release is meant as a technology
preview release. The plugin is useful but work is in progress to make sure
it support even more use cases. The documentation is currently lacking, but
the integration tests currently act as the documentation.

See the TODO.txt[1] for the latest status on supported cases and planned
features. See the README.txt[2] in the integration test directory for an
explanation of the different integration tests.

The plugin combines the work of the deb, solaris and rpm Maven plugins and
also handles the aspect of assembling the packages without using the
assembly plugin.

Supported platforms:

 * Debian (.deb)
 * RedHat and Fedora (.rpm)
 * SysV packages for Solaris (.pkg)

The development happens on the Codehaus Mojo project [3], if you want to try
it out, have found an issue or just want your use case supported get in
touch through the mailing lists [4].
