You're not wrong. Thanks to great tooling, there's many Java packages in Fedora whose spec file is simply this: %build %mvn_build %install %mvn_install However, I do feel the pain of upstream projects switching to gradle, not because they are experiencing problems with maven that gradle was designed to solve, but just because it's trendy. I personally ported several projects back over to maven build system to keep something vital in the distro. It's not difficult (maybe, for someone who has been using maven years and years and years), but quite tedious. -- Mat Booth http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
