Hello,
In my current project (see my previous posts/questions for a light description), Maven is still used : 1. to build a system (a framework used by end-user's projects) uploaded on our intranet 2. to distribute and manage "software" during further framework' uses by projects from our intranet.
I'm not arguing that there are *no* contexts where using Maven for software distribution and management makes sense. I've already mentioned Windows as an example, and a corporate intranet sounds like a reasonable context, too.
I'm just arguing that as a general solution a centralized repository is inferior to a native package management solution on some platforms (mainly Linux) for a variety of reasons.
I'm not arguing that it doesn't make sense in *all* contexts, I'm arguing that it's not a *silver bullet* in all contexts. My impression is that there is a lot of (rightful! it's a cool piece of software) excitement, but little discussion of limitations of the new idea, so I'm playing an advocatus diaboli in this case ;)
cheers, dalibor topic
