[Mageia-sysadm] maven and possible bootstrap.

[Dexter Morgan]

Hi,

little thought for maven.

Sshaw contributing to opensuse is writing a doc explaining how we
failled with maven2.
After, we plan to redo a bootstrap for maven  (which will be version 3).

We wanted maven to be included in mageia 1, it seems more than gold
compromise, to really democratize mageia in the java devs , because
the tools like NetBeans need maven to build.

I have a proposal that can looks dirty but we could just unlock very soon.

1 - make a chroot, install the rpms for fedora maven, plexus.
2 - change the src.rpm so they are OK in mageia and rebuild them.
3 - put the rpms in the repo
4 - launch a rebuild rpms for them to be in rebuild _all_ mageia.


Any ideas? comments?
