After some off-list negotiations, Antoine and myself are agreeing to be
co-release managers of Ant 1.7.
+1. Congratulations!
I will personally build 1.7.0beta1 or pre-release and post the
distribution on people.apache.org/~kevj for testing/evaluation by
Friday next week (29th July).
This pre-release/beta will be based on svn trunk as it stands next week -
Antoine commits himself to building/releasing the next beta, and we
will make a rota afterwards (maybe not systematically alternating), but
we'll work something out.
The following issues need to be resolved until then :
- ManifestTest (I noticed that recent changes caused this to fail,
but I haven't had time recently to look into it or report it - sorry my
bad)
- svn antlib gump breaks (not sure if this is config issue as it
used to work fine)
- Stuff still on the wiki [1]
Do you agree with this plan
[X ] Yes
+1
[ ] No
-------------------------------------------------------
Parallel to this, we should discuss other issues :
Whether or not we want to create an Ant 1.7 branch in SVN and when -
Antoine has mentioned that although this is stated in the release
instructions document, that some people were unhappy with branching
immediately - so this needs to be figured out.
I like to branch at the moment we start making decisions as to which
changes to hold off until Ant1.8.
We also need to discuss which (if any) of the antlibs will be released
at the same time as Ant 1.7. I think that we should at least release
the svn antlib (if we can get a clean gump build!) as it's one of the
most requested features.
Also I notice that the WHATSNEW is apparently incorrect, there is
mention of a <libraries> task in it, but Steve suggested we point
people to ivy and/or maven2, so this confusion over the libraries task
(in or out) needs to be cleaned up/removed from the WHATSNEW document.
yes. And we should have fetch.xml included in the release and pull down
both the ivy and m2 tasks *and* verify their signatures
Thanks
(I'm quaking in my boots with responsibility now that I've committed to
do this :) )
Oh, we will all help. you just get the power of the veto.

Remember, anyone is free to change this :)
I will try and get a couple of changes in this week,
-some tweaks to script support that I felt were missing (fail on
<scriptdef> on missing artifacts if an attribute says so)
-maybe a slight change in the resource class tree to make the UML prettier.
