Hi Dave, thank you for your effort to make a new release. I'm checking the rc3 resources and found some issues, I haven't done checking yet though.
* Some unnecessary files are included in the source distribution I see some files which look unnecessary to include as a release distribution ( https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/roller/roller-5.2/v5.2.0-rc-3/roller-release-5.2.0-rc-3-source.tar.gz <https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/roller/roller-5.2/v5.2.0-rc-3/roller-release-5.2.0-rc-3-source.tar.gz> ) as follows. (It looks like a part of Dave's workspace...) $ tree -d roller-weblogger-5.2.0-source/tomcat -L 1 roller-weblogger-5.2.0-source/tomcat ├── apache-jmeter-3.2 ├── conf ├── lib ├── logs ├── rollerdata ├── shared ├── temp ├── temphsperfdata_dave ├── webapps └── work * Duplicate declaration of "rome-fetcher" in pom.xml I see a duplicate dependency declaration and this makes some warning while building as follows: [INFO] Scanning for projects... [WARNING] [WARNING] Some problems were encountered while building the effective model for org.apache.roller:roller-webapp:war:5.2.0 [WARNING] 'dependencies.dependency.(groupId:artifactId:type:classifier)' must be unique: com.rometools:rome-fetcher:jar -> duplicate declaration of version ${rome.version} @ org.apache.roller:roller-webapp:[unknown-version], /Users/kyle/src/roller-520-rc3/roller-weblogger-5.2.0-source/app/pom.xml, line 360, column 21 * Some Log4j2 errors I see the following error when I try to deploy roller.war on Tomcat. I don't know much about Log4j2 but the error looks not so good. Is this ok? ERROR StatusLogger Log4j2 could not find a logging implementation. Please add log4j-core to the classpath. Using SimpleLogger to log to the console... And, can you tell me which git / svn repository are you working on the rc3 release? I've checked master branch of https://github.com/apache/roller but it looks like it's not the latest. It would be nice if it was on GitHub because I could send a Pull Request. p.s. I don't know why but integration test cases don't work on my Mac. It produces "StartupException: ERROR: unable to obtain database connection"... If anyone has any clue about that please tell me.
