Final Items for 1.1
I would like to release Geronimo 1.1 on June 12th. Yes, that is three
days away. If we can't make that date then it will be 72 hours away
from each candidate build. Problem that are found need to be
addressed if they are deemed critical. Otherwise they will be tracked
and solved in a follow on release.
That said. I sent a note earlier today announcing the freeze to
branches/1.1. Changes to this branch should be limited to bug fixes
only. The little changes are the ones that generally burn you. At
1400 ET the Inn is closed and I will spin up a release that will be
our release candidate.
The issues that have been raised from the previous build were
Guillaume's observation of the problem when running Geronimo under
CygWin as well as the license and Notice issues.
Since Geronimo is a multifaceted project there are several things that
need to be voted on. They are Geronimo itself, the specification jars
and DayTrader. Geronimo itself is the significant component that will
carry the other items so I believe a vote for Geronimo in this context
is a vote for all three items.
*There is a concern about the specification jars*
David Jencks raised this issue in another note on the list. The jars
have not been released but they have had a tag cut and the resulting
compilation has been placed on http://people.apache.org/repository.
One of the issues I found with the spec is that there are different
spec releases in the 1_1 tag. I would prefer that all jars have the
same version suffix. Right now it includes 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.1 and
others. I think this is confusing. We release Geronimo with all the
same module versions even if nothing has changed. I would like to
move that we recut a 1_2 tag with all spec jars having a 1.2 suffix.
I will add the NOTICE and LICENSE files so that they are included in the
spec jars.
This is mandatory for publicly available jars (so afaik, all).
Specs jars are built with m2 and this i svery important that they are
available in a m2 repo.
*DayTrader*
Day Trader is currently a 1.1-SNAPSHOT as well. We will release the
DayTrader Ear (separate from Geronimo) as a 1.1 version as well. This
way the build will be in sync.
*Issues*
1. It was noted earlier today that there is a problem with Geronimo
under CygWin. Guillaume noted that an issue exists where a file is
not renamed (config.xml). Given that CygWin is a hybrid environment I
think we should investigate this problem but not hold up the release.
I have tested under cygwin. I will try with plain windows command line,
but I fear this is the same problem.
I will update the JIRA accordingly.
2. Guillaume also pointed out the lack of a License and Notices file.
I will include the two files from the SVN geronimo/branches/1.1 in the
build tomorrow.
I will add the in the META-INF directory for all geronimo jars (not sure
if it can be done for car files, though)
Cheers,
Guillaume Nodet
3. Numerous bug fixes are being addressed. Excellent.
Apart from Spec issue above I think we have most everything
addressed. Does this list of outstanding items and release plan make
sense?
