Hi, I've cleaned ${svn.libs} from jars which are downloaded from Central, I forgot to do that as part of 2.9.0-incubating-10.
Aside from that, a few things have popped up the last days regarding RC3: - dependencies downloaded from svn.apache.org: I've requested some guidance at general@a.o I'll expect that by tomorrow afternoon we'll have some answers. Correction, we do have some insights right now (it hasn't appeared on archives.mailbox.a.o so no link yet), although I've made a few more questions. It seems ${svn.libs} will have a short live... I'll begin to have a look at the two options given (create a deps package, distributed from mirrors and uploading the external jars to OSSRH[#1]), but if anyone else is willing to look at one of those it'll be wellcomed O:-) - build of RC3: seems that problems with the build are regarding mixing workspaces (please confirm if not). I've noticed that, prior to 2.9.0-incubating-10, ${libs.test} could be mixed with ${libs.opt}, and as the latter downloaded some transitive dependencies, they (could) include the breaking-build-xerces-different-version. This shouldn't happen on current trunk / RC3, but maybe while svn updating, if ant clean-deps isn't called, that could trigger the build error. But this is myself mostly wondering, as I can't reproduce the error on my working workspace right now... In order to ensure the dist builds with the appropiate jars, I've added a clean-deps execution to dist target in both trunk and RC3. This should fix the build problems with RC3. I've also requested a CI job at infra [#2] to ensure that current trunk is always building. br, juan pablo [#1]: https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Uploading+3rd-party+Artifacts+to+The+Central+Repository [#2]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-5206
