Hi, I started a packaging hadoop[1] and tried to use ivy. Thereby a couple of questions / difficulties arised.
Ivy spits some errors on me, already asked upstream for help[2], but maybe someone of you could also help. I'm packaging a hadoop dependency, libxmlenc-java[3]. It doesn't come with a pom.xml. Is there any automation/template to help me create a pom? Do you have an example of how to use mh_install* with debhelper? Is there still a need for javahelper if I can also use mh_installjar? Shouldn't javahelper and maven_repo_helper be merged? Shouldn't there be a policy that all java stuff should also be published to /usr/share/maven-repo? Shouldn't there be a policy that all packages should have a "debian" version in the debian maven repo? The ivysettings.xml[4] I built for hadoop seems pretty standard to me and I'd propose to include the resolvers part in maven-repo-helper or somewhere alike. There'll be a Java Devroom at FOSDEM. Should we meet their to discuss Debian- Java stuff?[5] [1] http://git.debian.org/?p=users/thkoch-guest/hadoop.git [2] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hadoop-common- user/201001.mbox/%3c201001071048.50372.tho...@koch.ro%3e [3] http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-java/libxmlenc-java.git [4] http://git.debian.org/?p=users/thkoch- guest/hadoop.git;a=blob;f=debian/ivysettings.xml [5] http://wiki.debian.org/Java/DevJam/2010/FosdemProposedTalks Thanks for any help, Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
