Hi Thomas, Initially, i was trying to use git-buildpackage, then saw they are using quilt; so i swapped to use topgit, just to try out. Yes, i do agree and feel separate to different branch a bit strange. Because when i clone back the package to other machine. I could not see the debian/0.7 branch at all, git branch don't show it. (May be i don't know how to use git ...) Would like to try your tnt if available.
To continue ... i think fixing the dependencies is the priority. The other maven repos missed package, i think better put up a bug report first, because at this stage i have no knowledge on ant and maven ... i.e. build.xml and pom.xml Questions are 1. What is the debian Java Package direction; are all packages should built with Maven finally? 2. For build.xml and pom.xml ... i need some tutorial how to write or generate ... best is somebody help to write for tika so that i can learn from it. Thanks. ~Pat.
