Hey All,
I'm trying to get the Fedora Client available as a Maven dependency for our
software to make use of in talking to Fedora repositories.
The first version I was looking for was v2.2.4, which uses the old ant
builds. I've built a bundle as per:
http://code.google.com/p/redbox-mint/wiki/BuildingFedoraClient
and it is available here:
http://code.google.com/p/redbox-mint/downloads/detail?name=fcrepo-client-2.2.4-bundle.jar
But wanted to check on a few thing:
1. I can't upload this to Sonatype since I'm not a member of your
community (as per: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH-1942).
2. Does anyone object to me building in this way? Or the contents of the
POM (such as your dev details, which I grabbed from the wiki/web where I
could find them)?
3. Are the GAV details correct? I originally went for
org.fedora-commons:fedora-client:2.2.4, but after looking at later versions
(see below) I switched to org.fcrepo:fcrepo-client:2.2.4 - Is there any
preference?
4. Can either A) someone with authority upload this bundle for me? or B)
allow me access (presumably via Sonatype) to upload?
Next I moved on to v3.3.1, which one of our clients has indicated they will
soon be migrating to. I haven't started on this one yet, so some of these
questions will just be me trying to sort out some confusion:
1. The src.zip link from here is broken:
http://www.fedora-commons.org/software/repository/v_3_3_0 Although I did
look around and find:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fedora-commons/files/fedora/3.3/
2. The location above had only a jar file listed for v3.3.1 and seemed to
relate only to the server (I didn't try using it though). I assume this is
not big deal and the client is compatible?
3. After grabbing the v3.3 source I was happy to note the Maven build and
adjusted my 2.2.4 GAV to match, but the build process fails since it appears
the fedora-commons.org maven repository is defunct.
4. I can't find any publicly available artifacts in either Maven Central
or the Duraspace repo that match the GAV details from the v3.3 POMs, are
these available somewhere?
5. Failing this I thought I could either go through the pain of building
up all the v3.3 dependencies and releasing them (ouch), or move to the
current versions and pray they are compatible for a v3.3.1 server... any
advice on the more likely route to success?
Apologies for the wall of text in this post, but I'm mainly looking for
information/authorization. I'm happy to do any/all dev work involved if it
falls in line with community expectations.
Ta,
Greg
