Hi all,
I just tried to start from "probably simplest spec file possible” as described below
in order to package a maven artefact properly as an RPM:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/java-packaging-howto/packaging_maven...
The build failed because the maven-javadoc-plugin package no longer exists, which is core
to building the javadoc package required by the spec. I have since been down a dependency
hell rabbithole to try and get something to work, with no luck to date.
Googling has revealed that java code has been in various states of brokenness for a while,
but we’re at a point where it isn’t possible to build any package using the maven macros
in an RPM spec file at all. Are people aware things are this broken?
Regards,
Graham
