What are the rules mh_make wants (asks for) when it finds necessary jars from /usr/share/java? Running mh_make --from-svn= https://xslthl.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xslthl/tags/xslthl-2.1.0 ... This dependency cannot be found in the Debian Maven repository. Ignore this dependency? saxon:saxon:jar:[6.5,7.0] y/[n] > n > dpkg --search /usr/share/maven-repo/saxon/saxon dpkg failed to execute successfully > apt-file search /usr/share/maven-repo/saxon/saxon > dpkg --search /usr/share/java/saxon.jar Found libsaxon-java [error] Package libsaxon-java does not contain Maven dependency saxon:saxon:jar:[6.5,7.0] but there seem to be a match If the package contains already Maven artifacts but the names don't match, try to enter a substitution rule of the form s/groupId/newGroupId/ s/artifactId/newArtifactId/ jar s/version/newVersion/ here: > ... Or, perhaps, I can/shall solve these dependencies when packaging by adding some mh_installpoms/mh_installjars commands into debian/rules? Br, Eugene
