A maven plugin to create an apt repository for your java artifacts.
This plugin turns your maven build for deb files into an apt-repository. The plugin only needs java and does not require any native tools to be installed.
It is meant to be used in conjunction with plugins like jdeb, which create deb files for your artifacts.
apt-repo generates an apt repository in "flat repository format". apt-repo will use all artifacts of type "deb" and will aggregate them to the "apt-repo" directory in your ${project.build.directory}. An apt "Release" and "Packages.gz" file will be placed into this directory. Therefore the apt command will recognize your deb files - build by maven - as a valid repository.
The jars are available in the Maven central repository.
Add the plugin to your pom.xml link this:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>apt-repo</artifactId>
<groupId>org.m1theo</groupId>
<version>0.2.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>apt-repo</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
If you use apt-repo in conjunction with jdeb make sure that the jdeb plugin is executed before apt-repo. Normally this could be achieved by registering it prior to the apt-repo plugin in the plugins order.
Add something like this to your apt sources.list:
deb http://192.168.1.100:8000/${my.project.dir}/target/apt-repo/ /
Now check with "apt-get update" if apt recognizes your new apt repository.
