#45035: Refactor the Maven ports
-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  easieste@…   |      Owner:  easieste
     Type:  defect       |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:
Component:  ports        |    Version:  2.3.1
 Keywords:               |       Port:  maven maven3 maven_select  maven-
                         |  devel
-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 A proposal for rationalizing Maven:

 The port 'maven' installs the stable, latest version of maven (instead of
 the current, really obsolete choice of maven-1.0.2.

 /opt/local/bin/mvn is maintained as a common symbolic link to the
 invocation of the result of installing 'maven'.

 maven3 is renamed maven30 which installs maven-3.0.5.

 We move 'maven-devel' to 'maven31', installing the latest maven-3.1.x.

 We create a 'maven32' port for the latest version of maven, currently
 '3.2.3'.

 We remove 'maven-devel'.

 'maven3' becomes a synonym for 'maven32' the current, stable maven-3.x.y.

 The port 'maven_select' controls which port 'maven' "slaves" to, providing
 the necessary infrastructure for 'port --select ...' machinery to work.

 ---

 I'll start preparing a patch towards these goals locally for review by the
 responsible maintainers.

 Critiques from a MacPorts architecture, naming convention matters
 solicited.
