Hi
I emailed Scott Crosby to ask if he'd be willing to publish osmpbf to the Maven Central Repository. If it is published, ivy can download it and we can get rid of the build-support/repo directory entirely.
OK lets see how that works out. It is already checked into the splitter repo, so maybe I will just link to that for now.
Alternatively, we can configure ivy to download the jar from osmosis's files at GitHub. I skimmed GitHub's terms of service and didn't see anything prohibiting such usage, but we would probably want to ask permission anyway.
Presumably I can create an ivy repo on mkgmap.org.uk too?
We could perhaps add an 'extras' ant target that downloads those dependencies and builds those sources. Or they could be moved into the main build.
Yes it seems like a good oportunity to make that stuff build easily. ..Steve
