Yes there are precedents; in fact, I found (after starting this
thread) that the geronimo-parent-poms package in F16 contains POMs
related to genesis, but uses the 1.5 POMs rather than 2.0, so the
"flava" POMs aren't included. Could geronimo-parent-poms be updated
to 2.0 ?
So this doesn't get lost: file a bug in the bugzilla. I'll update it. I
assume you'd like to have this also in F16, correct?
And as for apache-parent, somehow even though org.apache:apache is
referenced as a parent in numerous fedora-packaged POMs on my system,
it's not packaged anywhere that I could see. I didn't think the child
POMs were functional without the parent, but I guess I have
misunderstood this. Still, it seems reasonable to have apache-parent
packaged.
You were correct in thinking that parent poms are required. We have it
in package maven2-common-poms. This is one ugly pom-only package that
used to contain 100s of POM files. We cut it down significantly, but
there are still things in there. If you create a new parent package,
that is currently contained in maven2-common-poms either file a bug to
have old POM removed or ping me on IRC and I'll do it.
