Building DEB packages: "mvn -P deps"

[scsynergy]

ISSUE TYPE

• Documentation Report

COMPONENT NAME

Building DEB packages

CLOUDSTACK VERSION

4.19.0.0

CONFIGURATION

OS / ENVIRONMENT

Debian, Ubuntu ...

SUMMARY

The page https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.18.1.0/installguide/building_from_source.html#building-deb-packages says to run "mvn -P deps" but the profile "deps" does not exist in the pom.xml. I assume just running "mvn" is the correct instruction?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

EXPECTED RESULTS

BUILD SUCCESS without any warnings or error messages

ACTUAL RESULTS

[WARNING] The requested profile "deps" could not be activated because it does not exist.

Hi @scsynergy thanks for sharing, I think the docs may be old/incorrect which we should fix in due course.
Meanwhile, you can refer to this on building cloudstack - https://github.com/shapeblue/hackerbook/blob/main/2-dev.md#building-cloudstack and packaging https://github.com/shapeblue/hackerbook/blob/main/2-dev.md#cloudstack-packaging

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue.
mvn -P deps is working for me fine. I tried with 4.19 and main on Ubunutu.

00:01 cloudstack $ mvn -P deps
