Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-3305:
----------------------------------------
There is already a draft pom for 1.7.0
http://people.apache.org/~kalle/mahout/maven2/org/apache/hadoop/core/0.17.0-SNAPSHOT/core-0.17.0-20080315.201857-1.pom
this declares an explicit dependency on most of hadoop-core/lib, and does not
indicate which is optional. It is not ideal.
> Publish hadoop-core to the apache repository with an appropriate POM file

> Key: HADOOP-3305
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3305
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: build
> Affects Versions: 0.16.2, 0.16.3
> Reporter: Steve Loughran
> Priority: Minor
>
> To let people downstream build/test with hadoop, using Apache Ivy or Apache
> Maven2 to pull it down, hadoop-core needs to be published to the apache
> repository with a .pom file that lists its mandatory dependencies.
> In an automated build process, this means
> -having a template XML pom defining all included dependencies (and excluded
> transient dependency artifacts)
> -having a property file driving version numbering of all artifacts
> -copying this template with property expansion to create the release POM file
> -public releases only: sticking this POM file up on people.apache.org in the
> right place, along with the JAR and some .md5 checksums
> There's a risk that if the hadoop team dont do this, someone else will (as
> mahout are doing under
> http://people.apache.org/~kalle/mahout/maven2/org/apache/hadoop/ )
> This is bad as hadoop end up fielding the support calls from someone elses
> files.
> Before automating the process, existing hadoop-core JARs can be pushed out
> with hand-encoded POM files. The repository police dont allow pom files ever
> to be changed, so supporting existing releases (.16.2, 0.16.3 ... ) is a way
> of beta testing the POMs.
