What is missing? Hi Guillaume, I took a look at your aXMLRPC package, and it does appear to be creating the necessary maven artifacts and installing them into the right places, so I suspect that mh_make is failing in some yet-to-be-determined manner. That is, you shouldn't have to manually manipulate your workstation. Do you have a skeleton package/upstream repo for dokujclient? I'd be curious to figure out what mh_make is doing here.
