I just noticed that nightly builds of the stable branches are running with skipTests.
(1) Are these builds used to create the nightly downloads? (2) If so, does this mean that we are allowing the world to download nightly release artifacts created by builds with failing unit tests? It looks like the nightly builds fail only on compile errors. This is what they do: geoserver-2.0.x-nightly: mvn -DskipTests -P release,communityRelease clean install geotools-2.6.x-nightly: /opt/actual/apache-maven-2.1.0/bin/mvn -U deploy -P deploy.opengeo -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dtest.maxHeapSize=256M -Dall -DskipTests Furthermore, I noticed while debugging a nightly-built jar that timestamps are mixed, indicating that GeoTools was built without "clean". Please tell me that I misunderstand this. Is Hudson doing something clever that I do not comprehend? I would very much prefer all nightly release artifacts to be built with "clean install" and without test skipping, on stable and trunk. This is the bare minimum quality standard my organisation requires for our GeoServer trunk build, in which any unit test failure prevents an artifact update: https://cgsrv1.arrc.csiro.au/swrepo/GeoServerTrunk/latest/ http://geobuilder.arrc.csiro.au/geoserver/waterfall http://geobuilder.arrc.csiro.au/geoserver/one_line_per_build Kind regards, -- Ben Caradoc-Davies <ben.caradoc-dav...@csiro.au> Software Engineer, CSIRO Earth Science and Resource Engineering Australian Resources Research Centre 26 Dick Perry Ave, Kensington WA 6151, Australia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
