I'm happy to announce the first alpha release of unix-maven-plugin. This
is primarily a technology preview, but is fully functional.
The unix-maven-plugin is a Maven plugin for producing installation
packages for UNIX platforms.
The current release is 1.0-alpha-1. This release is meant as a
technology preview release. The plugin is useful but work is in progress
to make sure it support even more use cases. The documentation is
currently lacking, but the integration tests currently act as the
documentation.
See the TODO.txt[1] for the latest status on supported cases and planned
features. See the README.txt[2] in the
integration test directory for an explanation of the different
integration tests.
The plugin combines the work of the deb, solaris and rpm Maven plugins
and also handles the aspect of assembling the packages without using the
assembly plugin.
Supported platforms:
* Debian (.deb)
* RedHat and Fedora (.rpm)
* SysV packages for Solaris (.pkg)
The development happens on the Codehaus Mojo project [3], if you want to
try it out, have found an issue or just want your use case supported get
in touch through the mailing lists [4].
