No, I think this file is generated with the package.php file - not with "pear package". If you comment the pear command out, you can see it But I agree that we should not overcomplex this - as it is now is good for me >> mvn package -> creates the sourcecode only based pear package >> mvn site -> creates the site >> mvn assembly:assembly -> creates the assemblies for distribution > > The first one is not neccessary, assembly:assembly calls "package": Oh true, thanks! Even more easy :-) > Hm, using plugins for this would be nice and I also have the > maven-release-plugin > in mind which automatically tags the current working copy, changes the version > in pom.xml and builts a release from a checkout copy of the tagged version > etc... Yes, and I think there is a similar plugin in commons world - but if release plugin does the job, lets do it with this one. > But shouldn't we focus on making the release somewhen *really* soon now? > If you ack the LOG4PHP-84 changes then there is no bug with the 2.0 tag left > and > I have the bad feeling that the whole voting and incubating process that we > have > to pass will tax my patience enough and we shouldn't prolong it any more :-) Well, we actually are in the mid of the release process :-) I think we should configure out all tools we need for releasing and create a proper release plan. It's the first time we release and you can expect tons of comments from expierenced committers outside this project, so better expect quite a while until its out :-) With all the tools in place we have a good chance to keep this time as short as possible. So, lets go on with code siginin, tagging and scp'ing stuff - after that we should be fine. BTW, we need to review the wiki page with the latest pom changes, Thanks! christian
