vcl 2.2 release update
Hi Folks, We're getting very close to cutting the 2.2 release candidate. We hope to announce the availability this afternoon. The committers are putting the final touches on the documentation. All the jira issues schedule for 2.2 have been completed. There were 127 jira issues resolved in this release, which was probably too many Many enhancements have been made since the 2.1 release. Improved front-end code, better processing on the backend. Support for additional OS's (64bit windows, win7, windows server 2008, and linux vms). Support for VMware free server 2.x, and ESXi 4 in both purchased license and free license. Easier vcld setup and base image capture. More For folks interested in becoming committers or helping out. We still need assistance in advancing Apache VCL, there are many ways to get involved, this includes improving the Apache VCL web site, adding to documentation, and contributing code, etc. We will welcome anyone who is interested in contributing something(anything). Aaron

Though svn tags typically mirror the source distribution, this is not a requirement. Many java-based projects use maven for managing binary dependencies. So, neither svn nor the source distribution contain all of the binary dependencies of the project. The resources that Matt pointed out in the Geronimo project are resources that were not available via maven. So, they exist to circumvent some other problems... IMO, you aren't required to have the original artifact in svn. Though it might well be something the project wants to do. In either case, the general process should be documented for posterity. I would expect that this documentation would be included in svn (and the source distribution). --kevan

Re: [VOTE] release VCL 2.2
+ 1 from Me. I would love to use 2.2 with vmware server 2.0 and Windows 7 support! I look forward to using esxi over gsx as well. That's a persona option, no idea if my company will want to go in the same direction. -Alex On Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 2:06 PM, Josh Thompson josh_thomp...@ncsu.eduwrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I created a release artifact based off of trunk.
