Mukul Gandhi commented on XERCESJ-1721:
---------------------------------------
There are currently following two ways to distribute, deliverables by Apache
projects,
-> Normal distributions on www.apache.org
...
[mukul] This is how Xerces-J has been releasing its builds so far (2.12.1 and
earlier ones).
-> Maven Distribution
...
don't try to publish .sha256, .sha512 files yet; Nexus doesn't handle them (as
of March 2018) [mukul] The preceding clause is where one of the issue seems to
be for Xerces-J. We've .sha512 files with us. This I think theoretically means,
Xerces-J can't do Maven distributions yet.
[mukul] I believe that, one or both of above release publishing ways may be
opted for.
(text above quoted mostly from ASF's release creation process, from the section
"Distribution")
There's another document at Apache named 'release policy', which mentions
following within itself,
<quote>
WHERE DO RELEASES GO?
A release isn't 'released' until the contents are in the project's distribution
directory, which is a subdirectory of www.apache.org/dist/. In addition to the
distribution directory, project that use Maven or a related build tool
sometimes place their releases on repository.apache.org beside some convenience
binaries. The distribution directory is required, while the repository system
is an optional convenience.
</quote>
(as per the above quoted paragraph, Xerces-J makes its releases as per ASF's
release policy)
Other than the above points, I'm still of the view that, for Xerces-J with
people wishing to consume it via Maven builds, should follow a process
something like
