For example, is there > a way to use good old Maven to build a Gradle based project? There are several different ways to handle this problem. In this case my recommendation is to port packages to be built with Maven instead of Gradle. The exact way to do this varies between projects, but in general you'd need to obtain Maven POMs for particular project (eg. from Maven Central), add missing build instructions (<build> section of POM files) and model composition/inheritance (<modules> and <parent> elements of POM). There are several cases of packages that are built this way in Fedora, which you can use as examples. Let me know if you need more help. -- Mikolaj Izdebski _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
