Hi,

I want to push this issue a bit.

What do we need to change for a new vote?

Marshall, do you want to restructure the update sites in SVN?

Best,

Peter

hi,

I'm just now having a chance to look at this (sorry for the delay).

Some initial questions:

As part of this update, the UIMA SVN has a new top-level folder, parallel with
uimaj, uima-as, etc., called eclipse-packagings.

I noticed this folder is missing the normal trunk/tags/branches subfolders. It would seem to me that we should have those, and when a new packaging is done, it
would have a version, and be "tagged", like a release.

I realize it may not be considered a release (because it's just a re-packaging of the already released Jars) but it still seems to me that we should have a
trunk and a tags for this, and tag what we promote out.

Another question:  There's a pom at the top level of the folder
eclipse-packagings. It says its for artifact "eclipse-packagings", and has a
version number of "4".

I would think it would have a version number of "1", since it's the first
version being released.

I agree on all points. One thing I want to mention: We need some strategy for the version number as this packaging will probably contain releases with different version numbers, e.g., uima-2.4.0 and hopefully uima-textmarker-2.0.0
Therefore the number will be increased with asynchronous releases.

Hi,

this vote is about replacing the current update site with a composite
repository, which essentially contains the same artifacts as before.

We discussed in UIMA-2475 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2475) that the update site of Apache UIMA is not compatible with p2 repositories. This complicates, for example, the development of bundles built with Tycho. The result of the discussion is right now a composite repository, which refers to two update sites. The first one is exactly the currently published update site (legacy) and the second one is a p2 repository (uima-2.4.0) containing
the eclipse bundles of the 2.4.0 release. Note that these artifacts are
provided twice.

The new update site (composite repository) is here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/uima/eclipse-packagings/eclipse-update-site

Please vote to approve this release:

[ ] +1 Approve the release
[ ] -1 Veto the release (please provide specific comments)
[ ] 0   Don't care

PS: As this is essentially not a new release, I skipped most/all parts
mentioned in http://uima.apache.org/release.html
