[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2719?page=comments#action_84448 ] Ole Ersoy commented on MNG-2719: --------------------------------
Oh - Whoops - Forgot one thing. This plugin produces RPMs. RPM production should have it's own project. Maven projects focus on producing specific things. Some produce jars, some produce wars, some produce documentation, this one produces RPMs. This way duds that are concerned about the installer can work independently of the duds concerned about lines of code. The duds doing the coding have their project, the duds doing the installer have theirs. Now the duds doing the installer just add the installer project as a module to the parent project with a dependency on the target being installed, and the whole thing 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
