You can give it a try. So far I haven't seen a project that couldn't be built with Maven 2. Most of the time Maven 3 is only used by some reporting plugins that aren't needed in the Debian context. > How should I best put in such a patch for the pom.xml under debian/? > I'm afraid it's ten years ago since I last tried to make a Debian > package by hand.. The patches go in debian/patches. You can create them with quilt. The workflow looks like this: quilt new 01-maven2-compatibility.patch quilt add pom.xml nano pom.xml -> remove the prereq quilt refresh > Well, I'm getting doubtful as to the possibility to get it included in > Debian proper, as it seems to be quite a large job to also package all > the dependencies in newer versions in Debian (as we need them all to > be OSGi bundles), something like jdeb and our own Debian repository at > apache.org is probably an easier workaround. Would jdeb still install > into /usr/share/maven-repo ? If you build a non official package you don't need to install the Maven artifacts under /usr/share/maven-repo. This repository is only used to build other packages. Debian needs that local repository because the Maven artifacts can't be downloaded from Maven Central at build time, but for a non official packages you don't have this constraint. > We have previously used Install4j which makes a crude single-deb [1] > that goes into /opt/taverna*, and I was hoping we could do something > slightly more Debian like and go into /usr/share/maven-repo and > friends, and at least have a debian/ control files and .deb packages > for each of our upstream repositories. What really matters I think is to integrate well with the system for things like manpages, desktop icons, logs, bash completion and init daemon. The location of the files is not very important and /opt/taverna is fine. Emmanuel Bourg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
