Hi Lenya Devs,
Does it mean that we have to remove all binary libraries before we can
do the new release ?
If yes: Would it be good to use maven instead of ant ?
This shouldn't be necessary, we could as well use Ivy (which can access
Maven repositories) for dependency management.
Having worked with Maven for a couple of years now, I'm not a particular
fan of it. The syntax is overly verbose, some concepts are very complex
(e.g. profiles) and the build process is very restrictive.
I don't think it is necessary or particularly beneficial to move away
from Ant for the existing codebase. If we decide to do this, though, we
might want to take a look at Gradle and maybe Buildr (Gradle seems to be
more stable, Buildr otoh is an Apache project).

I'm not familiar with maven, but it seems to that it will take some time
to do it.
If we want to release soon, I think it would be good if we can move this
step to a later release.
WDYT

Hi Lenya Devs,
I would like to start a discussion about the possibility to release 2.1
Our last release was about 20 month ago and the activity in the
community is low so a new release in the near future would be a good
thing to reactivate the project.
From MPOV we don't need much new features , but a new state of the art
design of the default publication would be necessary. It might also be
useful to have a simple publication which can be used by new users to
build there publications on top.
WDYT ?
Are there some devs around who can help ? I think I will have time after
christmas to work on this.
Best

There's been quite a bit of discussion about releases recently. I'd
have to do some digging to find out which list it was on: infra,
board, or members. Basically it came down to that source releases
shouldn't include binaries in them, at least not binary libraries. Our
releases contain all of those libraries, so it would go against that.
I'll have to spend some time tracking down what the decision was.
Using something like Maven obviously removes that problem.
