Paul Smith commented on HBASE-2099: ----------------------------------- I think this is where Maven starts to pay off, just by adding this snippet in the top-level pom: {noformat} <distributionManagement> <repository> <id>Apache Public Releases</id> <url>scp://people.apache.org/home/psmith/public_html/hbase/repo/</url> </repository> <snapshotRepository> <id>Apache Public Snapshots</id> <name>Aconex Snapshots</name> <url>scp://people.apache.org/home/psmith/public_html/hbase/repo-snapshots/</url> </snapshotRepository> <site> <id>HBase Site</id> <url>scp://people.apache.org/home/psmith/public_html/hbase/sandbox/hbase/</url> </site> </distributionManagement> {noformat} and having a corresponding username/password entries in my ~/.m2/settings.xml for each id, I can do this: {noformat} # skip tests because they're currently failing in this interim mvn -Dmaven.test.skip.exec=true deploy site:deploy {noformat} Imagine that the Snapshots url is the real Apache Snapshots location, this is a fast way of providing working snapshot builds for upstream people to use without a full release: http://people.apache.org/~psmith/hbase/repo-snapshots/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/hbase-core/0.20.2-SNAPSHOT/ Also the site generation (putting aside it's ugliness) does produce useful info: http://people.apache.org/~psmith/hbase/sandbox/hbase/hbase-core/jdepend-report.html A full release can then use the maven-release-plugin, which will manage the SCM tagging, and pushing the final release candidates direct to their proper location on the Apache central release repo. > Move build to Maven > ------------------- > > Key: HBASE-2099 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2099 > Project: Hadoop HBase > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: stack > Attachments: HBASE-2099.2.full.patch, HBASE-2099.2.patch, > HBASE-2099.3.full.patch, HBASE-2099.3.patch, HBASE-2099.patch > > > This issue is for discussing pros and cons of moving hbase build to Apache > Maven. > Maven, if you take on its paradigm, does a lot for you. There are also a > bunch of nice plugins that do nice reports on state of project; findbugs, > that nice plugin where you can give out urls that will resolve to lines in > source code (a doxygen-like thing ... I've forgotten its name). Other > examples are a docbook plugin that would do the build inline with doc build. > We could start up the hbase book using docbook format and the hbase book > would ride along with versions. > As I see it -- and its a while since I've done this stuff so things may have > since changed -- in the way of an easy move to maven is our src/contrib > content. Maven would have these as distinct projects pulling in their hbase > dependency or, if you wanted to take on the maven subproject notion, then, > hbase would be at same level in build as the contribs -- it would be a > subproject too just built before the others. > Anyone interested in working on this issue? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
