[ANNOUNCEMENT] - UNIX Maven Plugin 1.0-alpha-4 released

[Trygve Laugstøl <tr...@codehaus.org>]

I'm happy to announce the fourth alpha release of unix-maven-plugin.
This is still primarily a technology preview, but is fully functional.

= New in this release =

 o support for creating "zip" archives
 o added support for classes for pkg
 o %doc and %config for RPM
 o Lots of documentation, including a PDF.

== Technical changes ==

MUNIX-18: Simplify the script mechanism
MUNIX-17: Document how versions and revisions are calculated
MUNIX-16: Document how the scripts directories work
MUNIX-15: Improve error message when an artifact is not found
MUNIX-12: Add support for creating zip files
MUNIX-6: set-attributes doesn't pick up paths that aren't explicitly
created with mkdirs (Filed by Marius Gravdal
MUNIX-4: Add support for the %doc directive for RPM (filed by Erik
Drolshammer)
MUNIX-3: Add support for the %config directive for RPM (filed by Erik
Drolshammer)
MUNIX-1: the "release" portion of the rpm does not have to be an int
(filed by Brett Okken)

= About the plugin =

The unix-maven-plugin is a Maven plugin for producing installation
packages for UNIX platforms.

The current release is 1.0-alpha-4. This release is meant as a
technology preview release. The plugin is useful but work is in progress
to make sure it support even more use cases.

The plugin has gained a substantial amount of documentation, available
at [1].

The plugin combines the work of the deb, solaris and rpm Maven plugins
and also handles the aspect of assembling the packages without using the
assembly plugin.

Supported platforms:

 * Debian (.deb)
 * RedHat and Fedora (.rpm)
 * SysV packages for Solaris (.pkg)
 * Generic Zip files (.zip)

The development happens on the Codehaus Mojo project [2], if you want to
try it out, have found an issue or just want your use case supported get
in touch through the mailing lists [3].

I think a much better name would be the Unix Packaging Maven Plugin.

Sorry, but without an adjective, it doesn't clearly say what the plugin does.
