[Hawkular-dev] srcdep changes?

[John Mazzitelli]

I just found out the problem I'm having with srcdeps in h-services is because this wasn't merged:

https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-services/pull/104

Once I merged that locally, I am able to put in the SRC-revision-### in the version string and it works.

But this brings up a question: what changed? Can you not use srcdeps anymore by simply adding SRC-revision-### in the version string? Because I see now a complicated .mvn directory with extensions.xml and srcdeps.yaml configuration files... did we have srcdep config files before?

I didn't really look closely at the srcdep and mvn changes that went in, but I guess I should have. Is this now more complicated to use than simply changing a version string to include SRC-revision?? Because that was really nice and easy to use (almost magical :-)
