Symlinks for jars in maven-repo missing?

Asked by Jens Braeuer

Hi everyone,

I use the precise packages on oneiric, so I file a question rather than a bug.

I noticed, that the 2.9.0 packages only dropped the .jar in /usr/share/java, where the 2.9.1 also bring .pom files. This is GREAT! I love it!
However the symlinks below /usr/share/maven-repo are missing, which breaks the site-wide maven repository.

As an example
/usr/share/maven-repo/org/scala-lang/scala-compiler/2.9.1/scala-compiler-2.9.1.jar should point to /usr/share/java/scala-compiler-2.9.1.jar.

I would guess this problem also exists in the Debian-Package. I would love to see this fixed in precise.

Thanks,
Jens

Mixing packages between releases is not advised or supported. They areprecise packages as they are for precise. If packages were freely inter-changable then there would be ONE repo for every release. This is not the case and if you do mix debs you will get a big mess.

Hi andrew woodhead,

as I already wrote I think this is a BUG. I only filed it as a questions, as I re-used the package in oneirc. However. This gave me the chance to install precise and the bug is still here.
So: I use the scala 2.9.1 in the precise. I dont mix packages between releases. When I install scala in precise via "apt-get install scala", the site-wide maven repo is broken.

The following output shows, that the symlink
/usr/share/maven-repo/org/scala-lang/scala-compiler/2.9.1/scala-compiler-2.9.1.jar ->
/usr/share/java/scala-compiler-2.9.1.jar.
is missing.

vagrant@precise-amd64:~$ find /usr/share/maven-repo/
/usr/share/maven-repo/
/usr/share/maven-repo/org
/usr/share/maven-repo/org/scala-lang
/usr/share/maven-repo/org/scala-lang/scala-compiler
/usr/share/maven-repo/org/scala-lang/scala-compiler/2.9.1

/usr/share/maven-repo/org/scala-lang/scala-library/2.9.1/scala-library-2.9.1.jar
/usr/share/maven-repo/org/scala-lang/scala-library/2.9.1/scala-library-2.9.1.pom
/usr/share/maven-repo/org/scala-lang/scala-library/debian
/usr/share/maven-repo/org/scala-lang/scala-library/debian/scala-library-debian.jar
/usr/share/maven-repo/org/scala-lang/scala-library/debian/scala-library-debian.pom

I would love to see this fixed. As this is a bug now, I'll post this as comment and file a bug.
Thanks a lot,
Jens
