[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2719?page=comments#action_84439 ] Bob Allison commented on MNG-2719: ----------------------------------
I think the RPM plugin covers almost anything you would want to do with RPMs, and is configured entirely within the POM. I am wondering why you are not using the RPM plugin that is already built and working for a number of people. From the process description you supplied, it sounds like a completely manual process requiring projects separate from the ones which have the items to be packaged. That doesn't sound very streamlined to me. By placing all of the RPM creation information in the POM of the project containing the items to be packaged, the RPM plugin sounds much more streamlined. > Request for Summary element in POM > ---------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2719 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2719 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Ole Ersoy > Priority: Minor > > If a summary element were added it would make RPM > Spec file generation more efficient, since spec files > "require" both a description and a summary. > A summary element can also be handy for > for other tools that want to generate reports > giving a summary, as well as a longer description > of the project. > If this sounds reasonable I will update the XML Schema for maven with the > summary > element and submit. > Cheers, > - Ole -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
