Primarilary developed as an in-house tool to create Debian packages for the Maemo platform the maven-packaging-plugin turned into a full-featured solution to support the deployment pipeline of a modern software development process.

The plug-in is able to create binary packages for Debian-, RPM- and IPK-based GNU/Linux-distributions and integrates well with build servers such as Jenkins. The talk will present the plug-in and how it represents a large part of an automated deployment pipeline. Besides a demo there will also be an outlook towards the future development of this free software project.
