1. I'm pretty sure all the blocks have not been mavenized.


Is there a list of blocks to mavenise anywhere, with instructions of how to do it? I don't mind helping with this.

The easy way to tell I suppose is to check out trunk. There are a bunch of cocoon-whatever directories. Compare that list with what is in src/blocks in 2.1. I believe the instructions are in README.m10n.txt.


(I could be wrong, but I don't seem to be able to check out trunk as there is an external that uses http which won't go through my employer's firewall).


Do you mean https? If so that probably needs fixing ...

If you do mean http is blocked, there's probably not much we can do about that ;-)

Yes, my employer's firewall is set up so that only https works with svn. That's fine because you need that in order to check in. In any case, I did a clean check out and didn't have the problem. It only happened when I tried to update my existing sandbox.

2. The maven build seems to have serious problems with some of the repositories (I believe primarily those at apache).


Is there any way we can set up a Cocoon mirror for the time being, until the repository problems are resolved? I'm sure several of us here can set up a repo, and it could be the default used by Cocoon.

(I assume the Maven folk know about the repo troubles and are working on it?)

I have no idea.


Innovation is great. However, if it is never released it is completely wasted. We keep saying "release often" but then keep putting up roadblocks to make that impossible.


Just out of interest, how many others have actually downloaded and _tried_ the new mavenised 2.2? I know I only updated and tried it last weekend, after the thread with instructions on how to do so.

I first tried it at ApacheCon in early December. As I recall it was in a whiteboard at the time. I've tried it several times since then. I've never been able to get a Cocoon up where I could test the code I wanted to modify. I haven't tried it since the email you refer to but I will this weekend.
