---------------------------------
Is this essentially the same as MRPM-47?
> Allow dynamic require population through Maven dependencies mechanism

> Hello,
> I'm system engineer in a software development team that use MAVEN to produce
> applications.
> My job is to automate application deployment on production environment.
> I use RPM to do that. I choosed *rpm-maven-plugin* because it is a great tool
> for RPM generation, more robust than shell scripts but I was blocking on a
> limitation.
> I need to deploy a very complex package grid where some packages require
> other librariries.
> Ok, you'll say "??Use requires parameter??" and you'll be right in the
> approach of statically declared dependencies.
> However, in my system, I need a dynamic approach that define a delivery rpm
> and a meta-rpm used to configure the application (several meta-rpm can exists
> for one delivery model).
> And I also need a static approach : it's a fact that a A package depends of a
> B one.
> To design this, I used the {{requires}} parameter in order to link
> meta-package with their delivery source package (in an ancestor POM that
> developpers should not modify and that represent a delivery model).
> Then, developers can declare packages inter-dependency through classical
> MAVEN {{dependency}} tag.
> I think it is a good practice to allow a RPM to depends another RPM using
> MAVEN dependency mechanism. That the reason why I posted this message with a
> piece of code I wrote in order to establish this link through an additional
> parameter called {{requireMavenDependencies}}.
> This code works for me : it scans project's declared dependencies and then
> adds an entry in the {{requires}} Set if the dependency type is {{rpm}}.
> I don't know if the extensibility is sufficient ... it's just an idea.
> Regards.
