After 10 days, eight in favor, and no votes against, this vote passes. +1 votes were received from Craig, Greg, Michael, Thomas, Rick, Myrna, Camilla, and Dag. Next steps: The current Derby and Torque releases need to be copied to new svn directories under https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/db/ This can be done by anyone in the DB PMC. Infra will then establish the sync to the official Apache release directory. Thanks, everyone. Craig On 24.03.14 18:11, Craig L Russell wrote: Hi PMC,
Recently the JDO project set up to use svnpubsub to publish our releases. We have opened this JIRA to track the request: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-7320 But because JDO is a sub-project of db, infra would like to have "all or nothing" for svnpubsub. This technique is easier and less error-prone than the alternative (manually copying release artifacts to dist/db via scp). The technique is described here: http://www.apache.org/dev/release#upload-ci The impact on Derby is that as part of the migration, a Derby release manager (actually anyone with commit privs to derby) will have to copy the release artifacts to the source svnpubsub repository: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/db/derby Once this is done, infra will synchronize the release/db directory with Apache's official release directory which is automatically mirrored worldwide. The downloads page that chooses a mirror will continue to work exactly as before. There are no other changes to release artifact naming. To stop mirroring a Derby release, the appropriate directory under https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/db/derby simply needs to be svn rm'd. The change will automatically propagate to mirrors. Please vote to adopt this new release process. Here's my +1 Craig L Russell Architect, Oracle http://db.apache.org/jdo 408 276-5638 mailto:[email protected] P.S. A good JDO? O, Gasp!
