Hi Trygve, hi everybody,

I started to get into unix-maven-plugin.
So far I like the general configuration of
common package meta-data and your excellent
documentation how this is mapped down according
to the actual format.

However currently the site has various dead links:
http://mojo.codehaus.org/unix/unix-maven-plugin/usage.html
http://mojo.codehaus.org/unix/unix-handbook/handbook
http://mojo.codehaus.org/unix/unix-maven-plugin/unix-maven-plugin/plugin-info.html
http://mojo.codehaus.org/unix/unix-maven-plugin/developers/

For the meta-data I would like to work on
adding dependencies. Here I am NOT talking
about maven deps but about dependencies of
the generated package.

Further what I want to understand is, why you added
all this <copyArtifact> and <extractArtifact>
in <assembly>?
We already had the "re-invent-the-wheel" discussion
about things like this when talking about the
philosophy of solaris-maven-plugin.
I mean there is maven-dependency-plugin,
maven-resource-plugin and filtering
and all what maven already offers.
Why not just let the user build the package
content with all features of maven
to build.outputDirectory and then build
a package from that. Sure you will still
need support for symlinks and permissions.
What was your motivation to go a different way?
Or am I just missing something?

Did you have a look at pkg-maven-plugin.
It is just raw minimum but it should just
show how simple you can make maven to
build packages with all your custom needs.
Should I also add an example project
or is it self-explanatory.

Regards
  Jörg
