IIRC, it was orphaned in the 11/2018 extinction event. The Stewardship SIG temporarily picked it up, but we opted for dropping it because the packaged version was pretty outdated and had open CVEs associated with it. In almost all cases, checkstyle should not be essential for package builds, and you should be able to just disable the maven plugin without consequences: %prep (setup and patches be here) %pom_disable_plugin :maven-checkstyle-plugin Fabio > Scott_______________________________________________ > 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 >
