Hello everyone;
After a failed attempt to release the R12 version, I call for a vote on
the Dependency Manager top level release R13.
The major issue for the service scope has been fixed (see FELIX-5336), and
DM can now be built/run using Java9,10,11 (see FELIX-5967).
release notes:
** Bug
* [FELIX-5683] - getServiceProperties returns null instead of empty
dictionary
* [FELIX-5716] - Dead Lock in DM
* [FELIX-5768] - DM Lambda stop callback not being called
* [FELIX-5955] - Move changelog.txt to toplevel project dir
* [FELIX-5956] - NPE when invoking a lifecycle runnable method from
init method
** New Feature
* [FELIX-5336] - Add support for prototype scope services in DM4
** Improvement
* [FELIX-5937] - Refactor DM bndtools/gradle project
* [FELIX-5939] - DM annotations enhancements
* [FELIX-5941] - DM APi enhancements
* [FELIX-5957] - Check if a default implementation is used only on
optional dependencies
* [FELIX-5967] - DM does not support java9+
** Task
* [FELIX-5960] - Do not supply MD5 checksum
You can use this UNIX script to download the release and verify the
signatures:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/felix/trunk/dependencymanager/release/check_staged_release.sh
Usage:
sh check_staged_release.sh r13 /tmp/felix-staging
This script, unlike the original Felix check_stage_release.sh, is specific
to the Dependency Manager release process (see FELIX-4818) and will
download staging from https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/felix instead
of http://repository.apache.org/content/repositories.
To rebuild the DM binaries from the source, you can refer to
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/felix/trunk/dependencymanager/release/resources/src/README.src
Unlike with previous R11 version, there is no
org.apache.felix.dependencymanager-r11-deps.zip anymore.
Before building the source, if you use an http proxy then you must set the
following environment variables:
(check README.src):
export GRADLE_OPTS="-Dhttps.proxyHost=www.somehost.org
-Dhttps.proxyPort=port"
export http_proxy=www.somehost.org:port
export https_proxy=www.somehost.org:port
And when building with java9/10/11, please use the "--no-daemon" gradlew
option.
Please cast your votes to approve this release:
[ ] +1 Approve the release
[ ] -1 Veto the release (please provide specific comments)
This vote will be open for 72 hours.
thanks & regards;
/Pierre
