[Debian-med-packaging] Packaging maven-scala-plugin (Was: Help needed for gatk)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

[Upstream in CC.  David for better understanding you might like to read
 my mail
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2016/02/msg00000.html
 and the related patch
  https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-java/maven-scala-plugin.git/tree/debian/patches/disable_zinc.patch
 If you read below the part when I start discussing the errors might
 be worth a comment from your side.

I seeked on codesearch.debian.net for

    maven-core path:debian/maven.publishedRules

but failed finding such string.  By a more relaxed search I've found
that this string needs to go into debian/maven.rules rather than
debian/maven.publishedRules which brought me another step forward.
 
Unfortunately I'm running into another series of Errors:

I wonder whether I could really skip the Zinc dependency.  I'm also
afraid that if Zinc is not available I need at least xsbti - so just
another package I need to create.  Is this correct?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
