================================================================================================================================================ I think a much better name would be the Unix Packaging Maven Plugin. Sorry, but without an adjective , it doesn't clearly say what the plugin does. 2009/6/15 Trygve Laugstøl < tryg ... @codehaus.org >: I'm happy to announce the fourth alpha release of unix-maven-plugin. This is still primarily a technology preview, but is fully functional. = New in this release = o support for creating "zip" archives o added support for classes for pkg o %doc and %config for RPM o Lots of documentation, including a PDF. == Technical changes == MUNIX-18: Simplify the script mechanism MUNIX-17: Document how versions and revisions are calculated MUNIX-16: Document how the scripts directories work MUNIX-15: Improve error message when an artifact is not found MUNIX-12: Add support for creating zip files MUNIX-6: set-attributes doesn't pick up paths that aren't explicitly created with mkdirs (Filed by Marius Gravdal MUNIX-4: Add support for the %doc directive for RPM (filed by Erik Drolshammer) MUNIX-3: Add support for the %config directive for RPM (filed by Erik Drolshammer) MUNIX-1: the "release" portion of the rpm does not have to be an int (filed by Brett Okken) = About the plugin = The unix-maven-plugin is a Maven plugin for producing installation packages for UNIX platforms. The current release is 1.0-alpha-4. This release is meant as a technology preview release. The plugin is useful but work is in progress to make sure it support even more use cases. The plugin has gained a substantial amount of documentation, available at [1]. The plugin combines the work of the deb, solaris and rpm Maven plugins and also handles the aspect of assembling the packages without using the assembly plugin. Supported platforms: * Debian (.deb) * RedHat and Fedora (.rpm) * SysV packages for Solaris (.pkg) * Generic Zip files (.zip) The development happens on the Codehaus Mojo project [2], if you want to try it out, have found an issue or just want your use case supported get in touch through the mailing lists [3].

I have no idea whether a kayak is usually called a rowing boat , but it clearly belongs in a natural class of boats propelled by arm muscles holding a paddle or oar. BTW, there are, or once were, sea-going ships in all these three categories. No, rowing and paddling are two completely different actions, though I have some sympathy for a properly named class for "natural class of boats propelled by arm muscles holding a paddle or oar" (as long as this isn't called rowing). For completeness, don't leave out " boats propelled by arm muscles holding a pole", as in punts (which you can find for sale) or the old-time keelboats (not likely to be a major article in commerce today). --Frank
