Javadogs,
I'd like to propose that we release jdo2 beta based on the current code
in the svn repository and a few minor changes.
1. JDO-278 Change the group ids for the project from apache-jdo to
org.apache.jdo for the non-API projects
javax.jdo for the API projects.
2. Change the version on all projects to 2.0-beta. This can be changed
when we make the JDO-278 changes.
3. JDO-279 Distribute the tck20 as a source distribution and the other
components as downloadable binary components. These would go into the
apache maven repository at www.apache.org/dist/java-repository
<http://www.apache.org/dist/java-repository>.
I'd like to have everyone's vote by Thursday 18-Jan-2006.
It is probably just a misunderstanding on my side, but it sounds as if you
would like to release the other components _only_ as downloadable
binaries. Is this really the case ? If yes, may I ask for the motivation
behind not wanting to release the sources of the other packages ?
I am aware of the souces being available from svn anyway, but in my
experience distributing the source code lowers the barrier for users to
have a look at the source code enormously. As maven is used for the build,
creating a source distribution should be no large deal (but maybe I'm
mistaken here).
