Hi Tom,

A scratch build wouldn't be sufficient in case of maven due to the sheer number
of packages involved in the upgrade. When I worked on the maven 2.0.4 (current
version in Fedora) to 2.0.8, this is the most efficient route I could find:

-> yum install "maven2*" (installs 2.0.4)

	   install tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api, tomcat5, geronimo-specs

       b+i maven2-common-poms
       b+i maven-wagon
	   b+i saxpath
	   b+i backport-util-concurrent
	   b+i bndlib
	   b+i pmd
	   b+i plexus-classworlds
	   b+i plexus-utils
	   b+i plexus-containers
	   b+i modello a15
	   b+i itext
	   b+i plexus-cdc
	   b+i plexus-maven-plugin
	   b+i plexus-xmlrpc
	   b+i plexus-cli
	   b+i plexus-digest
	   b+i dumbster
	   b+i plexus-mail-sender
	   b+i plexus-velocity
	   b+i directory-naming
	   b+i jakarta-commons-jxpath
	   b+i jakarta-commons-configuration
	   b+i jakarta-commons-dbcp
	   b+i easymock
	   b+i javacvs

-> build maven2 in bootstrap mode (--with bootstrap), install that copy 
       b+i maven-surefire
	   b+i maven2-plugin-shade
	   b+i plexus-resources
	   b+i plexus-naming
	   b+i plexus-registry
	   b+i maven-doxia
	   b+i maven-doxia-sitetools
	   b+i maven-shared
	   b+i maven-plugin-tools
	   b+i maven-embedder
	   b+i maven-scm
	   b+i maven-enforcer-rule-api
	   b+i maven-archiver
 

Where b+i => build and then install

Many of the packages mentioned above are new or need upgrades. Due to the
complex interdependencies, it would be much easier to have a separate tag into
which the above instructions are followed. It will allow for easy initial 
reviews and sanity checks.

Cheers,
Deepak
