https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237913 Michael Osipov <michael.osipov@siemens.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |michael.osipov@siemens.com --- Comment #1 from Michael Osipov <michael.osipov@siemens.com> --- Hey there, I'd like to make a few comments (specific and in general): Being an ASF member and happy FreeBSD user, but not an Ant committer have have these cases once in a while. I just can tell how we handle thia at least with Maven, but am sure that other projects do similarly: ASF only releases source code, in some cases like Java, we do provide binary releases. Both are trustworthly because all of them signed (GPG) when you download from dist.apache.org. In general we reject custom-built binary distributions becaue they aren't verified by us and contain sometimes tremendous modifications, .e.g., Debian and friends are worstcase here, I just loath their approach. We refuse to evaluate bugs with those customs distros. Of course, it requires some adaptations for a specific platform, but it has to be reasonable and generally not break the flow of the application. As for Javadoc issues: you have have the ports system download mutltiple files, so you could download them from Maven Central and add them for the build OR simply disable the build of Javadoc because I do not see any benefit generating it here if you use Ant from command line only. They are needed by people wrigin custom targets/commands for Ant and they will use an IDE where source JARs are pulled from Central too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
