Hi, Fixing the build errors is a good thing, and rebuilding the release is a good thing, and I am in favor of it.
Just a comment on decisions: It's best if we call something a "decision" only if it has been made in public. For the benefit of readers on this list, several folks (myself, Suresh Subbiah, Gunnar Tapper, Hans Zeller and possibly others) downloaded the last Trafodion 1.3.0 build into various environments and tried builds. Some of us documented our results in this DISCUSS thread. I am guilty of not documenting mine, so I'll recap here: Most of my issues centered around my relative lack of experience in Linux administration skills. I had silly problems with ssh keys and ulimits. Once I got over that learning curve, I encountered two problems with the build. One was that the version of Maven installed on my particular VM was version 3.3.3, while the sqenvcom.sh script was looking for a version of 3.0.5 instead. Putting the 3.3.3 mvn executable into my PATH variable worked around that problem. The other problem I had was that the build was creating hbase-trx jar files for several distributions. One of them, MapR, was hanging up on repository access. Rerunning the build at a later time got around that. As it happens, MapR doesn't work with Trafodion at the moment due to Trafodion's use of HBase Coprocessors. So, this particular build step was unnecessary. Others of us ran into these problems as well (though most of the others are more skilled at Linux administrators than I am, so they got through it quicker). The five of us (the four listed above + Roberta Marton) had a telephone conference and concluded that these issues would make for a bad build experience for Trafodion 1.3.0 users. Hence, Roberta's suggestion that we fix those two problems and do another build. Two JIRAs were filed, TRAFODION-1612 and TRAFODION-1613 to cover these issues. (Thanks to Hans and Roberta). Roberta has since submitted a fix for both of these which I believe she merged into the 1.3.0 branch yesterday.
