Hi Ludovic: Thank you for your comments.
I downloaded and installed the two packages from your PPA: rm -rf /tmp/test > /dev/null 2>&1 mkdir /tmp/test cd /tmp/test wget -c https://launchpad.net/~ludovicc/+archive/ppa/+build/2046440/+files/maven-debian-helper_1.3.0ubuntu1~ppa4_all.deb wget -c https://launchpad.net/~ludovicc/+archive/ppa/+build/2046441/+files/maven-repo-helper_1.4ubuntu0~ppa6_all.deb sudo dpkg -i *.deb Then added the experimental repository to my /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian experimental main And finally made some changes to my debian folder which are saved here: rm -rf /tmp/test > /dev/null 2>&1 cd /tmp/test wget https://bigfile.bcm.tmc.edu/outbound/mk144210/debian.tar.bz2 svn checkout http://svn.openmrs.org/openmrs/trunk --quiet cd trunk tar xvjf ../debian.tar.bz2 Finally ran: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc You were right in terms of dependencies. However, I thought you might be interested in the following NullPointerException: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc dpkg-buildpackage: export CFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags (origin: vendor): -g -O2 dpkg-buildpackage: export CPPFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags (origin: vendor): dpkg-buildpackage: export CXXFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags (origin: vendor): -g -O2 dpkg-buildpackage: export FFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags (origin: vendor): -g -O2 dpkg-buildpackage: export LDFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags (origin: vendor): dpkg-buildpackage: source package openmrs dpkg-buildpackage: source version 1.6.1-1 dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Misha Koshelev <misha...@gmail.com> dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture i386 dpkg-source --before-build trunk fakeroot debian/rules clean test -x debian/rules dh_testroot mkdir -p "." /usr/share/maven-debian-helper/copy-repo.sh /home/misha/maven/trunk/debian mh_patchpoms -popenmrs --debian-build --keep-pom-version --maven-repo=/home/misha/maven/trunk/debian/maven-repo --build-no-docs --ignore-rules=debian/maven.ignoreRules --clean-ignore-rules=debian/maven.cleanIgnoreRules Nov 15, 2010 10:26:04 PM org.debian.maven.repo.ListOfPOMs foreachPoms SEVERE: null java.lang.NullPointerException at org.debian.maven.repo.ListOfPOMs.contains(ListOfPOMs.java:139) at org.debian.maven.repo.POMTransformer.keepParentVersion(POMTransformer.java:204) at org.debian.maven.repo.POMTransformer$3.handlePOM(POMTransformer.java:218) at org.debian.maven.repo.ListOfPOMs.foreachPoms(ListOfPOMs.java:82) at org.debian.maven.repo.POMTransformer.transformPoms(POMTransformer.java:214) at org.debian.maven.repo.POMTransformer.main(POMTransformer.java:1037) touch debian/stamp-poms-patched cd . && /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java -noverify -cp /usr/share/maven2/boot/classworlds.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/lib/tools.jar -Dclassworlds.conf=/etc/maven2/m2-debian.conf org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher -s/etc/maven2/settings-debian.xml -Dmaven.repo.local=/home/misha/maven/trunk/debian/maven-repo clean [INFO] NOTE: Maven is executing in offline mode.

We are now looking at making the first official Debian version of OpenMRS the 1.8.0 version (to be released later this year), which is a Maven based build. Please let me know if you have any comments with regards to this (e.g., what does it mean that libspring-test-java is in experimental; would this mean our package would also need to be in experimental??? My understanding is this would mean end users, even those of squeeze, _still_ would not then be able to do apt-get install openmrs, and, furthermore, I do not believe it would be merged into Ubuntu automatically ???) Thank you Yours Misha --- Hello Misha, I am the author of Maven builder, so I hope I can help here. First, the tools are still under development, they are usable for simple libraries and Maven plugins, but not quite yet for big projects. You will have more luck by taking the latest versions of maven-repo-helper and maven-debian-helper at my repository: https://launchpad.net/~ludovicc/+archive/ppa/ To build OpenMRS for Debian, we will need to package all dependencies and plugins in Debian. Some are already there and an apt-get install away: libmaven-javadoc-plugin-java contains org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:2.6.1, libantlr-maven-plugin-java contains org.codehaus.mojo:antlr-maven-plugin:2.1 libmaven-antrun-plugin-java contains org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin:1.4 libspring-java (in experimental) contains org.springframework:spring-test:3.0.2.RELEASE The other dependencies are not packaged in Debian (as far as I can tell), but it should be quite easy to do the packaging yourself using mh_make. You need to file an ITP (Intention to package) bug request following the guidelines at http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/. Or file a RFP (request for package) at the same place, hoping that somebody else will do the job (hint: some requests are more than 1000 days old) but I will try to help you of course. Consider also joining the pkg-java team, you don't need to be a Debian Developer to participate. http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/ I will animate a little workshop on Maven & packaging at the Debian mini Debconf on Oct 30th, I'll try to publish some material after that and bring the wiki pages up to date.
