Latest Release Update? #99

Closed samyak-jn closed 4 years ago

samyak-jn commented 4 years ago

Hi,

Thanks for developing the cloning tool. Various other Java packages are using the cloning tool. I intend to package cloning for the Debian and its derivatives.

However, as per the release section, the latest release is wayyy older (2012). It will be great If you can add a new release to the package.

Thank you very much! :D

Hi, there has been several releases after that, there must have been a couple even this year. Which "release section" are you referring to?

samyak-jn commented 4 years ago

Hi,

It shows the last release was on March 15, 2012.

Oh, that's because since then it is released to maven central. Can you grab the latest release from here?

https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:%22io.github.kostaskougios%22%20AND%20a:%22cloning%22

If you click the release number (1.10.3) it will take you to it and then click the "Browse" folder on top-right. It will take you here:

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/github/kostaskougios/cloning/1.10.3/

How do you normally include a deb package for java jars, where do you download the jar from?

samyak-jn commented 4 years ago

That's the case, We don't include the jar files or any other pre-built binaries directly! The jar files are built from the package itself. We have Gradle and maven along with the build system in Debian to produce those binaries for us.

I intend to package your source code, by extracting the repository tarballs (.tar.gz).

samyak-jn commented 4 years ago

As correctly as I checked, I found two different tar files. cloning-1.10.3-dist.tar.gz and cloning-1.10.3-project.tar.gz.

Can you please explain me the difference between them?

samyak-jn commented 4 years ago

Hii, nevermind I checked it.

Thanks for the help and the tool of course! :D
