Packaging a maven project for Debian

[Guillaume Lederrey <glederrey@wikimedia.org>]

Hello!

I'm trying (and failing) to package a "proper" debian package from a
maven project for the first time.

mh_make did help me create a bunch of debian/* files. I'm now trying
to compile this with "mvn-debian package". This fails with:

Reason: Cannot find parent: org.sonatype.oss:oss-parent for project:
com.github.chrisvest:stormpot:jar:2.4-SNAPSHOT for project
com.github.chrisvest:stormpot:jar:2.4-SNAPSHOT

I did ask mh_make to ignore parent pom and I do see: "pom.xml
--no-parent --has-package-version" in "debian/libstormpot-java.poms".

I'm probably missing something obvious. Could anyone point me in the
right direction?

Thanks!

   Guillaume
