Of course it only does RPMs, not Deb, and Solaris pkgs. Thanks for the hint. I like this idea and also did the same when I created solaris-maven-plugin. But I also love the idea of having one plugin for different binary formats. Then you can build deb,rpm,... from the same config and an added feature may help for all formats. In pkg-maven-plugin I also went the "let existing plugins do the major work and just focus on packaging" way but added a plugin concept into the maven-plugin so formats can be easily added even by thirdparty coders without touching the plugin. That was my vision and I had just started a minimum codebase. Now I found unix-maven-plugin and I definitely want to give it a try in getting together with Trygve so we put our ideas and energy together. I think cbuilds also has a different scope and philosophy. My impression is that it could be really useful if we bring our ideas together rather than building all our own nice plugins. We will see what happens - it might work out or not. So far I am happy to chat with all of you and willing to participate on unix-maven-plugin. Trygve has already solved a lot of problems that I do NOT want to solve again. As its version-number does not sound very mature there might be chances to change some things or to come to the point that it is just good the way it is. > > http://mojo.codehaus.org/cbuild-parent/cbuild-plugin-parent/rpm-cbuild-maven-plugin/build-mojo.html > > Lee > regards Jörg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkpD8tMACgkQmPuec2Dcv/918ACcCBfM28F+PrNoIQKEXD7xSjHy 6fMAoIP6hP14VwjmYD3VDUXGIwfOYEQu =3fXq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
