All,
As of this morning, all Maven build issues should be resolved. We'd
like to thank Juven Xu at Sonatype for helping us to resolve these
issues in a timely fashion.
You should now be able to rebuild/reinstall DSpace as normal. If you
find you are still receiving localized errors/issues, it may be possible
that your local Maven cache may need an update. Try running:
'mvn -U clean package'
The '-U' option will force your local Maven cache to update itself.
This should allow your build to complete successfully. After updating
your local cache, you can run 'mvn package' as normal to rebuild DSpace.
If you notice any other issues please let us know by reporting them to
the dspace-tech listserv (dspace-t...@lists.sourceforge.net).
Thanks for your patience,
- Tim

All,
First off, let me apologize in advance to anyone who has encountered
DSpace Maven build issues yesterday or today. These build errors
sometimes occur when running 'mvn package' and look similar to the
following:
[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.
Couldn't find a version in [1.7.0.1] to match range [1.6.0.0,1.7.0.0)
org.dspace:dspace-api-lang:jar:null
Unfortunately, our global DSpace Maven settings were accidentally messed
up yesterday, through no real fault of our own. Essentially, this
occurred via a series of issues located during our attempt to release
DSpace 1.7.0 Release Candidate 1.
During our release, we discovered our old route of getting DSpace Maven
build packages published worldwide was unfortunately discontinued
without our knowledge (the third party service we were using just
stopped syncing with our servers without notifying us).
Because our old release process was ceased, over the past few days we
quickly migrated to a different route of publishing Maven releases via
SonaType (http://www.sonatype.com/), so that we could try to release
DSpace 1.7.0 Release Candidate 1 in time for this week's DSpace 1.7
Testathon.
This new route via SonaType has now unfortunately backfired on us, as
SonaType accidentally overwrote our global Maven settings for past
versions of DSpace software. This means that re-building/re-installing
of all 1.5.x and 1.6.x versions is likely affected (unless you happen to
have a local cache of the previous Maven settings to work from).
(Please note: Although this affects re-building / re-installing of
DSpace 1.5.x and 1.6.x versions, it will not affect the stability of
your currently running DSpace repository. Your existing DSpace
repository will continue to function as normal -- you will just be
unable to rebuild DSpace if you are doing local development work.)
We are currently working with SonaType to try to resolve these issues
for everyone. We apologize for the inconvenience -- it is obviously
affecting us all. We hope to have this resolved as soon as possible.
I'll send an update to this notice as soon as we've come to a resolution.
- Tim
