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).
I agree. I think this is something that we need to be doing concurrent
with a release in the future. At the moment things are kinda broken
from a user perspective. They can't install the 2.1-SNAPSHOT plugins on
the 2.1 server. This looks especially bad since we include links in the
welcome page ("/") to download and install the samples which currently
fail. BTW, I tried to just change the dependent geronimo release in
geronimo-plugins.xml for the samples but they still would not install
because there are dependencies are missing (looks like there are
references to non-existent org.apache.geronimo.configs car files).

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.
