Is there a plan on how to release the samples for 2.1 and forward?
It looks like the changes in the build structure have necessitated
that we do something to release samples independently (or perhaps it
was other changes). In past releases it looks like the samples were
built, voted on, and released as part of the Geronimo release
itself. However, they are no longer included under our configs with
the restructure and hence they were not included in the process.
Should we create a tag for the 2.1 samples (thus far there are no
tags in the samples svn (see https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/samples/
)? Do we need to create release candidates and vote on releasing
samples now?
I ran into this because I took a first pass at generating a new
geronimo-plugins.xml for 2.1 yesterday since the old version was
still referencing 2.1-SNAPSHOT for all of the plugins. To include
the samples I built https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/samples/branches/2.1/
but the poms there are versioned as 2.1-SNAPSHOT and are dependent
upon the Geornimo 2.1-SNAPSHOT release.
Definitely something we need to do. Probably should have been
something we did concurrently with a major release (e.g. 2.1).
So, I certainly think we should be tagging sample releases, they
should be dependent upon G 2.1, and they need to be voted on.
