[HEADS UP] %add_maven_depmap macro deprecated and moved to javapackages-local

[Michael Šimáček]

With upcoming version of javapackages-tools there will be changes to 
%add_maven_depmap macro:

- It is considered deprecated. It was deprecated upstream long ago, but 
I think we've never sent an announcement. The replacement is 
%mvn_artifact + %mvn_install. For porting your specfiles, please refer 
to the guide at [1]. If you have any questions about porting, we'll be 
happy to answer them on #fedora-java (we = msimacek and mizdebsk) or via 
email.

- It will still be available for few months, but was moved to 
javapackages-local subpackage. If you don't want to port just yet, 
you'll need to make sure that you have BuildRequires: javapackages-local 
in your spec. If you already have BR: maven-local or ivy-local or 
gradle-local, you don't need to do anything as those pull in 
javapackages-local as a dependency. The reason for the move was 
reduction of dependencies (mainly python) of the main package, which 
gets installed as a runtime dependency of all java packages.

- This will be for rawhide only and won't go to <=f26.

I believe this would need to be reflected in the packaging guidelines.
At least %add_maven_depmap is mentioned twice, once as an alternative to
%mvn_install and once mentioning where to get the documentation for it.

I can trivially remove both of those, but it would be nice if someone
filed a ticket at https://pagure.io/packaging-committee

Also, ugh, please don't crosspost to closed mailing lists.

I didn't realize it's still referenced there. Thank you for pointing 
that out.
