We seem to be missing one important part of the release process - the actual source "release".
Note the source-release files in http://www.apache.org/dist/geronimo/2.2/ : geronimo-2.2-source-release.tar.gz, geronimo-2.2-source-release.zip (and their associated .asc signature and md5/sha checksums). We expect them to match the contents of svn. Ultimately, the source releases are what we are voting on, not svn and not the binaries. This is probably a change since the last release of GEP (as we have learned more a bit more about the apache release process). Shouldn't be too hard to prepare the source archives w/ signatures/checksums. Though would be nice if we had maven building these. Apologies for missing this on the first RC... --kevan On Jan 11, 2010, at 9:59 AM, Delos wrote: > Hi everyone, Please review and vote on the release of the Geronimo Eclipse > Plugin 2.2 RC2. > > The deployable zip file is here: > > ---->http://people.apache.org/dist/geronimo/eclipse/2.2.0/RC2/staging_site/geronimo-eclipse-plugin-2.2.0-deployable.zip > > The update site zip file is here: > > ----> > http://people.apache.org/dist/geronimo/eclipse/2.2.0/RC2/staging_site/geronimo-eclipse-plugin-2.2.0-updatesite.zip > > The current svn location is here (revision number 897748): > > ----> > https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/devtools/eclipse-plugin/branches/2.2 > > The future svn location will be here (when approved): > > ----> > https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/devtools/eclipse-plugin/tags/2.2 > > If you would like to review and/or comment on the release notes, they are > here: > > ----> > http://people.apache.org/dist/geronimo/eclipse/2.2.0/RC2/staging_site/PLUGIN_RELEASE-NOTES-2.2.0.txt > > There is a rudimentary set of install instructions available at the URL below > that will hopefully describe the necessary prereq(s) and steps > required to install and run the GEP: > > ----> > http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC22/how-to-install-geronimo-eclipse-plugin.html > > In an effort to get more people to review and vote I'd recommend going > through this quick but useful tutorial demonstrating some of the capabilities > of the GEP: > > ----> > http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC22/5-minute-tutorial-on-enterprise-application-development-with-eclipse-and-geronimo.html > > Finally, I've created a Staging Site that can be used to test the update > manager functions (i.e., p2 in Ganymede or Galileo) of Eclipse for > downloading the GEP itself.
