Dear All: I am currently working with the Debian Med team, who has been very helpful, to package OpenMRS. Please see http://www.openmrs.org and svn://cvs.alioth.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/packages/openmrs/trunk
Fortunately, the latest release version is an ant build and works well with the dh $@ command in the Makefile (debhelper). Unfortunately, for the Maven build on the trunk version, it is not so simple. The biggest problem, if using the http://wiki.debian.org/Java/MavenBuilder tool, is that some of the plugins and dependencies are not currently in the Debian package repository: pom.xml: Plugin is not packaged in the Maven repository for Debian: org.openmrs.codehaus.mojo:buildnumber-maven-plugin:1.0-beta-4-mod pom.xml: Plugin is not packaged in the Maven repository for Debian: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:2.6.1 test/pom.xml: Dependency is not packaged in the Maven repository for Debian: org.springframework:spring-test:3.0.2.RELEASE api/pom.xml: Dependency is not packaged in the Maven repository for Debian: org.azeckoski:reflectutils:0.9.14 api/pom.xml: Plugin is not packaged in the Maven repository for Debian: org.codehaus.mojo:antlr-maven-plugin:2.1 web/pom.xml: Dependency is not packaged in the Maven repository for Debian: org.openmrs.api:openmrs-api:1.8.0-SNAPSHOT webapp/pom.xml: Plugin is not packaged in the Maven repository for Debian: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin:1.4 (this is also listed on http://tickets.openmrs.org/browse/TRUNK-1811) With the acception of org.openmrs.api:openmrs-api:1.8.0-SNAPSHOT, which is provided in a maven module that is being compiled within trunk, the others would be in need of packaging. This is complicated by the fact that we are using our own maven repo as well: <distributionManagement> <repository> <id>openmrs-repo-releases</id> <name>OpenMRS Nexus Releases</name> <url>http://mavenrepo.openmrs.org/nexus/content/repositories/releases</url> </repository> <snapshotRepository> <id>openmrs-repo-snapshots</id> <name>OpenMRS Nexus Snapshots</name> <url>http://mavenrepo.openmrs.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots</url> </snapshotRepository> </distributionManagement> which, to my understanding, has some packages that are not included in the main Maven repos. In any case, I was wondering: a) is my understanding correct that, indeed, the above plug-ins and dependencies (or _any_ we use) have to be in Debian repositories before a proper _trunk_ package with the Maven build would be accepted? b) how would one go about getting these dependencies into Debian repo? Do I file a bug somewhere, etc? Thank you Misha p.s. Lastly, I was wondering if Maven support actually is supposed to work with javahelper http://wiki.debian.org/Java/Packaging There is this mysterious section on that page: "Maven We need some information about Maven here." and I did an apt-get source javahelper which showed that jh_makepkg (I believe sorry do not have available at the moment) actually does have some calls to mvn, but in my brief testing it did not actually do anything for a Maven build :( Thank you Yours Misha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
