#9105 — Dependencies packaged without POMs

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hello,

Some libraries (e.g. Jython) are packaged for Debian, but don't use Maven.
In these cases it may be that nothing is installed into
/usr/share/maven-repo.


How should Maven projects which reference such dependencies be packaged?
According to the spec [0], <scope> and <systempath> should be used to
reference such jars. But this appears not to work in practice ([1]).

I suspect I'm not the first person to want to reference a library without
an entry in $REPO, so I'm wondering how this is normally handled?

Thanks.

Christopher

Actually you can use <systemPath> with maven-debian-helper, it's just
the package generator mh_make that doesn't support it. To deal with such
a dependency you have to:
1. ignore it during the mh_make process
2. re-enable it by editing the generated debian/maven.ignoreRules file
3. patch the pom to set the <systempath>

However this is really a last resort solution, it's preferable to modify
the package and install the Maven artifacts.
