#45035: Refactor the Maven ports -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: easieste@… | Owner: easieste Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.1 Keywords: | Port: maven maven3 maven_select maven- | devel -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- A proposal for rationalizing Maven: The port 'maven' installs the stable, latest version of maven (instead of the current, really obsolete choice of maven-1.0.2. /opt/local/bin/mvn is maintained as a common symbolic link to the invocation of the result of installing 'maven'. maven3 is renamed maven30 which installs maven-3.0.5. We move 'maven-devel' to 'maven31', installing the latest maven-3.1.x. We create a 'maven32' port for the latest version of maven, currently '3.2.3'. We remove 'maven-devel'. 'maven3' becomes a synonym for 'maven32' the current, stable maven-3.x.y. The port 'maven_select' controls which port 'maven' "slaves" to, providing the necessary infrastructure for 'port --select ...' machinery to work. --- I'll start preparing a patch towards these goals locally for review by the responsible maintainers. Critiques from a MacPorts architecture, naming convention matters solicited. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45035> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
