Java 8 objectweb-asm for EPEL7
by Christopher
So, there's apparently an issue with objectweb-asm{,4}.noarch versions in
RHEL7, in that those versions don't support Java 8 byte code, so I get
errors like in https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=17660223
objectweb-asm 5 does support Java 8 byte code (as well as previous
versions), but it's not packaged for EPEL7. The current objectweb-asm in
Fedora is version 5.
How does one go about packaging version 5 for EPEL7? Should I use the epel7
branch of objectweb-asm to create an objectweb-asm5 package for EPEL7? Or,
should I fork the objectweb-asm repo and submit a new package review for
objectweb-asm5?

EPEL7 Maven macro differences
by Christopher
One difference I've noticed between maven packaging in EPEL7 and F2X
branches is missing support for the "-r" recursive option in
%pom_remove_plugin (and maybe other tools).
I've seen this "-r" flag used more and more, but it means keeping the EPEL7
branch divergent from the Fedora branches, and that's a bit frustrating.
It's not a huge deal, but it would be convenient if the EPEL7 branch
supported the "-r" flag on these macros.
