Upgrade maven to 2.2.1

[Robert Collins]

Binary package hint: maven2

This is separate to the 2.2.0 bug because that bug is fixed in its upstream link, and we can't link to multiple tasks upstream as far as I know.

[Robert Collins (lifeless)]

Maven 2.2.1 aims to correct several critical regressions related to the selection of the HttpClient-based Wagon implementation for HTTP/HTTPS transfers in Maven 2.2.0.

fixed upstream is now packaged in debian, see Debian Bug#542546,

   * New upstream release (Closes: #542546)
   * Update download url for debian/watch and debian/orig-tar.sh

I would suggest to give this a very high priority since the current Maven version in Ubuntu is too old to be usable for anything serious (too many bugs) and this one fixes it all up. It is also already packaged in Debian so should be relatively easy to move over.

[allnightlong (allnightlong)]

I'm very interested in fixing this bug.

[Martin Meyer (elreydetodo)]

I'll second the high priority proposal seeing as maven currently doesn't work in Karmic at all. There's a dependency version mismatch with libplexus - see bug 417164.

Also note that bug 427539 is a request for a sync with debian unstable, since they currently have maven 2.2 in the repository.

I am in need of this to install xwiki. Thanks for any work on this.

[Manfred Moser (mosabua)]

Is there some instruction somewhere on how to pull a package from debian testing into ubuntu?

[Chris (chris-yourdreamnet)]

Due to incompatibility with libplexus Maven2 is unusable in Karmic. The package NEEDS to be pulled from Debian testing. Even if there are bugs in their package, they cannot be as big as the program being totally unusable. The importance should also be raised from Wishlist.

If you want to help move this forward, following the 'requesting syncs'
section of Ubuntu policy.

maven2 (2.2.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Upload to unstable.

 -- Torsten Werner <email address hidden> Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:59:25 +0200
maven2 (2.2.0-1) experimental; urgency=low

   * New upstream version
   * Added myself to Uploaders.
   * Change section to java, bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1
   * Add a Build-Depends-Indep dependency on maven-repo-helper
   * Move ant to Build-Depends (needed for clean target)
   * Add dependency on java runtimes for the maven2 binary.
   * Change the dependency on java-gcj to default-jdk (Closes: #526295)
   * Update watch and added orig-tar.sh to download the sources,
     get-orig-source in rules now uses uscan
   * Use quilt to manage the patches, add a patch to use the upstream
     build.xml as the build file, disabling all dependency downloading from it
   * Split the package in 2 parts: maven2-core contains all libraries,
     this package contains only the uber jar and the scripts
   * Updated the build to use Maven and its plugins to bootstrap itself,
     based on a patched version of the build.xml boostrap script provided
     with Maven. In particular, it now generates properly the shaded uber-jar,
     this will avoid potential class versionning conflicts for the shared
     libraries used in the plugins.
   * Added Build-Depends-Indep on libmaven-clean-plugin-java,
     libmaven-compiler-plugin-java, libmaven-install-plugin-java,
     libmaven-jar-plugin-java, libmaven-resources-plugin-java,
     libmaven-shade-plugin-java and add a Recommends on those libraries.
   * Remove debian/META-INF as this information is now generated by the build.
   * Improve command line completion.

No Ubuntu changes made to Debian package therefore no changes to be dropped.

Installed locally from Debian repo successfully. Testing proves no bugs in normal operation, significant improvement to current state of inoperable.

[Artur Rona (ari-tczew)]

For sync request, see bug #427539 and in future please read all comments.

[Chris (chris-yourdreamnet)]

Updated sync request with sync details. Nominate this bug to be closed or set as duplicate.

Hi,

As this bug report is dependent on Bug #427539, and there is nothing to sponsor at the moment, I'll unsubscribe u-u-s for the moment.
Please subscribe again Ubuntu Sponsors for Universe when all dependencies required for Maven2 are uploaded to Ubuntu.

Thanks,
Fabrice

as mentioned in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/junit/+bug/427539/comments/33

we won't update packages in main before the karmic release which would pull in maven into main. the packages currently identified are at least: ant, commons-httpclient, junit, libgoogle-collections-java. If somebody wants to help getting maven into karmic with keeping it in universe, please help.

[Ludovic Claude (ludovicc)]

People affected by this bug should install Maven from my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ludovicc/+archive/ppa

[Stefan Fleiter (stefan-fleiter)]

Maven from the ppa works fantastic.
Many thanks Ludovic!

[Alvin Thompson (alvint-deactivatedaccount)]

i haven't played with it much yet, but it looks like 2.2.1 is in the main repo as well!

[No (11111nonononono-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

Yes, maven2 2.2.1 is there:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/maven2
Big thanks to Matthias and everyone else involved in this!

[Manfred Moser (mosabua)]

Thank you guys for getting this into Karmic. This rocks.

[LumpyCustard (orangelumpycustard)]

Agreed, thanks to all involved in sorting this out :) Much appreciated.

[Alvin Thompson (alvint-deactivatedaccount)]

w00t!
