I would just add a note that it should be clear enough that this
will
generate RPMs that would not be supportable on Fedora infrastructure.
In other words the tool would download binary jars from maven central,
place them in correct subdirectory in (/usr/share/java/maven2rpm/ for
example) and create proper depmaps so the resulting RPMs would be
integrated with rest of the system.
No, not at all. This tool would create spec files that after some minor
manual tweaks could be included as a part of Fedora.
This tool would download *source* tarballs and extract metadata from
pom.xml files creating package skeleton with one artifact per subpackage,
%build section consisting of mvn-rpmbuild and so on. Such package would
meet packaging guidelines and could definitely be used to package
software for inclusion in Fedora.
