Any rpm equivalent project?

[chook]

This project is awesome! In order to pack my dropwizard server to the world I want to be able to ship it with both deb and rpm packages.

I wanted to know if there's an RPM maven? (I tried rpm-maven-plugin but it is not as straight forward as this one)

This project is not ready to use yet.

When used for daemon, it’s just harmful now: it generates start-script in /usr/bin/ that redirects error output of .jar into log, which is not subject to any kind of log-rotation, so it grows until system runs out of space.

Less serious but still not acceptable for proper Debian package issues are:

• Init-script’s (in /etc/init.d/) stop action (so restart too) sometimes does not work.
• Configs in /etc/ (if any) are silently rewrited when upgrading.
• Purging is not fully implemented: it leaves unix user, that was created during installation.
• That user has home dir in /home/, while according to FHS /var/lib/ should be used.
• Perhaps, something else.

Thanks for the heads up!
I guess the issues you raised should be opened as different issues :)

@d-g if you can open independent issues for these I'll take a look at them, or I'm more than happy to accept pull requests...

@chook thanks :) I'm afraid I've no idea about using RPMs with maven.
