Moving this into a separate thread for making following the votes easier. Let me please explain what happened in the last few months:
The project reported that with the current state of the build, nobody felt able to actually perform a release. So, I stepped in and completely rewrote the existing maven build with a completely new one. One that more follows best practices. With this doing a release was a matter of running two maven commands. So, this release accumulates the changes of the last 10 years or so … loads of dependency updates (I think I tried to update things where CVEs were reported and I disabled modules that had no safe versions, as the projects they integrate were abandoned) However, I only stepped up being a RM, as nobody else raised a hand to do so. So, with my board hat on, the thing I would be starting after the release, would be a public discussion on the project moving to the Attic. If however we find a number of people willing and actually able to keep the lights on, I’d be more than happy to help with that. After all Apache Cocoon was the first project at Apache that I got in touch with something round 20 years ago ;-) Chris Von: Gabriel Gruber <gabriel.gru...@workflow.at> Datum: Mittwoch, 25.

I was wondering if there was a github clone of the repo, where the commits can be traced to give some feedback. We also are still cocoon 2.2 users and I helped with the spring migration (3->4) some years ago on trunk. However in our own product last year we even moved to spring 5 and so I justed wanted to check, if that is an option too. Thanks a lot for your efforts Gabriel Gruber Gesendet von Outlook für Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg> ________________________________ From: insigh...@gmail.com <insigh...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2023 10:17:05 PM To: dev@cocoon.apache.org <dev@cocoon.apache.org> Subject: Re: [VOTE] Apache Cocoon 2.3.0 RC1 Great work everyone on the Cocoon updates. To that end, was wondering if you are aware of the updates DSpace.org team/users did to their own Cocoon 2.2 architecture? DSpace v6 was the major version using Cocoon 2.2 (they have since moved to Angular JS) Might be worth a look to see if some of that work can be ported into 2.3?
