Hi - I've been trying to use mh_make to package a Maven project for Debian.
To start light-weight I have begun with just the Maven Parent pom of our project. https://github.com/stain/incubator-taverna-maven-parent/tree/debian after some struggles with the plugins mh_make generated me a nice set of debian/ files: https://github.com/stain/incubator-taverna-maven-parent/tree/debian/debian However, I get this error message in Debian unstable when I try to do: dpkg-buildpackage -b cd . && /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/java -noverify -cp /usr/share/maven2/boot/classworlds.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/lib/tools.jar -Dproperties.file.manual=/root/src/incubator-taverna-maven-parent/debian/maven.properties -Dclassworlds.conf=/etc/maven2/m2-debian.conf org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher -s/etc/maven2/settings-debian.xml -Dmaven.repo.local=/root/src/incubator-taverna-maven-parent/debian/maven-repo clean [INFO] NOTE: Maven is executing in offline mode. Any artifacts not already in your local repository will be inaccessible. [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Unable to build project '/root/src/incubator-taverna-maven-parent/pom.xml; it requires Maven version 3.2.0 This is caused by our pom.xml <prerequisites> <maven>3.2.0</maven> </prerequisites> and mvn-debian being a decade out of date: root@25d478a1c2a6:~/src/incubator-taverna-maven-parent# mvn-debian -v Apache Maven 2.2.1 (rdebian-16) Is there a plan to update mvn-debian or a way to change my debian/ files to use Maven 3.x? Is there a debian/maven* rule I can add to edit/remove the <prerequisites> element at build time? Manually deleting <prerequisites> element seems to work for the parent pom - but I suspect Maven 2.2 will struggle with the rest of our source code. I don't want to suggest Maven 2.x for non-Debian users of our code as that would be quite fragile. We might have been overly cautious in specifying 3.2.0 - it might work fine with 3.0, but we have not been testing with such older versions of Maven. -- Stian Soiland-Reyes Apache Taverna (incubating) http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-9718 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
