Hi Michael, This is great. I use Maven2 on a daily base as part of my job. I am running the upstream install in Ubuntu. I am going to give this a whirl next week. I would also be interested in binary derived packages of all sorts of other stuff. How hard is it to create a package like this? Are there any instructions somewhere? I think as a first entry point packages like this would be awesome. At least a lot better than no packages. Sort of related- another question. Couldn't we come up with some sort of Maven assembly plugin definition that would allow deb creation fairly easily? And another one ... would it make sense to get everything maven downloads when it runs through its dependency system in some location like /usr/share/java/maven2/repository so that it comes available for all users? Could this be expanded to be actually used as a packaging system? And a last one.. have you announced the package on the maven lists? manfred -- Manfred Moser Vancouver Island Java User Group http://www.mosabuam.com/vijug skype: mosabua http://www.linkedin.com/in/manfredmoser -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
