What goes in that spot is the date of 1.6's release. Until it's released, i can't fix that properly. If we insist on having that right, then we can't release. :) Better to leave as is until released, IMHO. > One more idea. Would it make sense to remove the folder "convert"?

Yes, but i'm not interested in ideas for more improvements pre-1.6, as that would delay 1.6, and i don't think this is worth the delay. After 1.6, go for it. > Finally, the maven build fails for me.

I just never use the default goal. mvn compile, package and install targets all work. I don't think it's that big a problem that mvn site is the default goal and doesn't work without upping the heap space and install the velocity-site-skin. Just the way it is. The only thing that might be considered a bug here is that "site" is the default target/goal/whatever. We should change that to "install", i think, but i also don't feel it's worth holding up this release. Feel free to counter me on that, of course. :) > [INFO] Unable to load parent project from a relative path: Could not find > the model file 'C:\Documents and Settings\wglass\My > Documents\Workspace\opensource\velocity-trunk\..\pom.xml'. for project > unknown > [INFO] Parent project loaded from repository. > Downloading: > http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/apache/4/apache-4-site_en.xml > Downloading: > http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/apache/4/apache-4-site.xml > Downloading: > http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/velocity/site/velocity-site-skin/1.2.3/velocity-site-skin-1.2.3.jar > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [INFO] The skin does n > > > > On Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 12:39 PM, Nathan Bubna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> An updated test build including the fix for VELOCITY-644 and a couple >> minor test/build tweaks is now up at: >> >> http://people.apache.org/~nbubna/velocity/engine/1.6/<http://people.apache.org/%7Enbubna/velocity/engine/1.6/> >> >> I still plan to call for a release vote on friday.
