Re: [jetty-users] What is the current status of 7.1.x debian packaging?

[Joakim Erdfelt <joakim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is true.

It does use an ant build to build things.

This decision was made to satisfy the following ...

1) Upstream compatibility with Debian release process

    This means we can't rely on maven artifacts from central, only those present within the debian apt repositories.

2) Maximum compatibility between Debian and Redhat builds (redhat rpm has poor maven support as well)

If you want to help with the debian packaging of jetty, please. by all means, speak up.

We have a hard time gauging interest in this packaging, as we personally don't use it.

Hello.
There are debian packaging sources at https://svn.codehaus.org/jetty-contrib/packaging/debian/
What is their current status and are there any plans to package jetty as .deb?

I was able to produce working .deb packages from it after some patching and version bumping. It looks strange that it creates build.xml to use ant instead of using bundled with jetty sources pom.xml.

Is there any interest in patches for debian packaging?
