Hi, One of my packages, beid, has been reimplemented[1], part of it in Java. This hasn't been released yet, but will be fairly soon, and then I'll have to package it for Debian. They're using maven2 as their build system.
As I understand it, there's some support for building maven-using packages with some wrapper scripts and some cdbs magic, but no debhelper support yet. IMAO, cdbs is of yuck, so I'm not interested in that. Instead, I'd be happy to help with implementing debhelper support for maven (be this debhelper 'dh' mode, or plain debhelper where reasonable and necessary). Not sure whether I can maintain that long term (after all, beid upstream may choose to reimplement everything in haskell next time around for all I know), but I'd be happy with getting my hands dirty, initially. Any pointers? [1] Again, *sigh*. My advice: never ever (*ever*) volunteer maintaining a package of which upstream is a government body. Oh well. -- The volume of a pizza of thickness a and radius z can be described by the following formula: pi zz a -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
