Still to do.
I'm on it.
Another question:
Which artifacts do we ant to release to http://www.apache.org/dist/directory?
- None?
- Only the source (the new org.apache:apache:8 POM configures the
assembly plugin to generate a source-release zip [4])
- Source and binary
IMO, source and binary. Note that it's good for shared, not for Studio or ADS :
installers should not be injected in the repo, AFAIU.
Actually we've never released any Shared artifacts on
http://www.apache.org/dist/directory.
It has always only been released on the Maven repositories (and inside other
releases like ApacheDS or Studio).
For the LDAP Client API, it's different.
We only released one version (0.1) and we offer archive (zip and tar.gz) and
sources downloads on the website [1].
The archive contained all the needed jars to use the LDAP Client API:
- jcl-over-slf4j-1.5.10.jar
- ldap-client-api-0.1.jar
- shared-all-0.9.18.jar
- slf4j-api-1.5.10.jar
- slf4j-log4j12-1.5.10.jar
Maybe we need to do something equivalent now that the API is included in Shared.
Thoughts?
I agree that we should provide a zip and tar.gz with all required jars
(for non-maven/ivy users). The question is if we need provide it now.
IMO such a package should not be named 'shared' but 'ldap-api'.
That's a good point. My understanding is that now that shared is
OSGified, we can include our own versions of all the jars we depend on.
On the second aspect, I totally agree : the package name should be
ldap-api. This is easy to change.
Also
note that the current zip/tar.gz doesn't fulfill the Apache release
requirements.
A source package is required, but that's easy and already generated.
yeah, we just need to add a 'distribution' module. I'll add it this
afternoon.
Please note that I can't continue with the outstanding issues and the
release before tonight.
Np. I'll be around tonite if you need me.
Great job so far...
