So I personally don't see why maven + rpmbuild or maven + dpkg couldn't be enough for packaging. Don't we really want people to be able to install CloudStack using maven? Certainly from a developer standpoint I think that is an end goal. Aside from the fact that it exists, I don't see anything that waf currently does that maven can't do. --David
