 Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Wondering if we should rip out mvn2nix Nixpkgs support and send it upstream? | 18:41:01 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Wait the upstream repo is archived: https://github.com/NixOS/mvn2nix-maven-plugin | 18:41:28 |
 emily | probably it was merged in to the monorepo | 18:42:21 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Looks like it was semi-automatic: https://github.com/NixOS/mvn2nix-maven-plugin/issues/33 | 18:43:07 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Is anyone interested in reviving it? 🙃 | 18:52:33 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | I'm leaning towards ripping it out of Nixpkgs, if anyone wants to revive it they can take the docs and builder and put it into the repository | 18:53:24 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | * I'm leaning towards ripping it out of Nixpkgs, if anyone wants to revive it they can take the docs and builder and put it into the repository itself | 18:53:31 |

Is anyone interested in reviving it? 🙃 We should probably:
Post a call for maintainers on Discourse Wait a week If nobody responds, rip it out as mentioned above If someone responds, collaborate on moving the builder and docs to the upstream repo
| 18:55:38 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Nothing in-tree is using it afaict | 18:56:03 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | cc @fzakaria, who appears to have been heavily involved in it | 18:56:17 |
|  tricktron joined the room. | 19:11:04 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Welcome :) | 19:13:22 |
| tricktron | Hello fellow JVM Nixers :) | 19:14:05 |

Hello fellow JVM Nixers :) There's a little bit of (unrelated) Maven discussion about mvn2nix if you're interested 🙂 | 19:16:33 |

Oh, looks like there's a live "fork" owned by fzakaria: https://github.com/fzakaria/mvn2nix | 19:20:37 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | ...which is looking for maintainers 😂 | 19:21:34 |

| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | (Running nixpkgs-review to make sure we don't break anything in-tree accidentally) | 20:23:29 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Confirmed to not break anything in-tree | 20:38:28 |

we really ought to just shim in our own local FS repository and build everything from source but 🙃 Can we assume anything about the build system the dependencies use? Or would we have to determine that first | 20:51:49 |
| emily | I assume every dependency would build with whatever its build system is and spit out jars that we integrate in the maven repository format or such | 20:56:20 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Interesting. Looks like one can specify a classpath through META-INF/MANIFEST.MF inside of JARs, to allow Java libraries to find their dependencies automatically... in theory | 22:12:05 |

| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | (ant-contrib is a 20-year-old beast) | 22:18:21 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Yes, it has had no releases since 2006 | 22:27:48 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | There is a newer fork last updated two or so years ago | 22:28:02 |
