Hi,
thanks for clarifying that mvn-debian should not be used for real
packaging tasks.
Just out of curiosity, why is that the case (I did not have
any troubles so far)?
I would propose to indicate that clearly when generating a template
using jh_makepkg (as it automatically adds mvn-debian when choosing
a maven build system). Please find attached a patch against
javatools-0.31 for that purpose.
Thanks,
Alex
