💖 MAVEN(1) 💖

✨ NAME ✨

Maven — the manual page for Maven Repo Helper version 1.7.1. That's her. That's the girl. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mh_resolve_dependencies [option]... <package>

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

She resolves the dependencies and generates the substvars file containing the list of dependent packages. Literally her whole job and she eats every time. 💅

Where:

• <package> is the name of the binary package,

e.g. libcommons-lang-java. Default to the first binary found in the debian/control file.

lowkey important: if you don't hand her a package name, she just grabs the first binary she sees in debian/control. no thoughts, just vibes. 🙈

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, --help — show this text. your classic cry-for-help option, we love her 🫶
• -V, --version — show the version. identity check! ✨
• -p<package>, --package=<package> — name of the package. tell her who she's working with 💖
• -j, --javadoc — resolve the Javadoc dependencies. docs girlies rise up 📚
• -n, --non-interactive — non interactive mode, don't ask questions. she's not gonna text you back, she's just doing it 🌈
• -o, --offline — don't ever connect to the internet, for Debian build compatibility. airplane mode but make it a build system ✈️
• -v, --verbose — show more information while running. she will over-share and honestly? we're here for it 💀
• -b, --base-directory — path to root directory of package. home base 🏠
• --non-explore — doesn't explore directories for pom.xml
• --build — build mode (don't write the .poms and rules files)

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION (the big one) ⭐

Description: This tool reads the POM files defined in debian/.poms and scans the Maven repository in /usr/share/maven-repo. She then extracts the dependencies required for the current package and stores them in the file debian/.substvars where they can be read by debhelper. main character energy fr fr 👑

The variables defined are:

• maven:Depends — the list of runtime dependencies
• maven:OptionalDepends — the list of optional runtime dependencies
• maven:CompileDepends — the list of compile-time dependencies
• maven:TestDepends — the list of test dependencies
