Hi all, Quick update from the Maven front: - The removal of Maven 2 is almost complete. I'm waiting for aether-ant-tasks in the NEW queue to remove maven-ant-tasks, the last package holding maven2-core. - Some packages still fail to build due to missing junit/junit4 dependencies. I'm fixing them as they are reported by the reproducible builds notifications. - The maven dependencies have been further improved, we are now down to 37 packages downloaded (11MB) for 15MB on disk. There is still room to shave ~2MB more by splitting libwagon2-java. Emmanuel Bourg
