I agree with Andrea. The loss of mailing list subscribers would have a severe impact; I do not think we should move our mailing lists unless we have another major outage in the next two years. In my eyes, SourceForge are on probation. A very good reason for moving to the OSGeo lists is that ou

With respect to SourceForge reliability: From a search of GS discussions (Gitter and otherwise), there's been a notable SourceForge outage at least once a year. In addition to these, I believe there have been a number of other short, minor outages that were an annoyance, but not of sufficient scope

I don't think there's a hard requirement that all dependencies have to be available on Maven central... That said, it is a typical nice-to-have thing... I'd say that having GT/GWC/GS jars on Maven central and having OSGeo, or interested companies host JAI on their Maven repos seems like a rea

Hi all, As a quick question, are there any impediments to publishing GeoTools and GeoServer jars on Maven Central? I believe the requirements could be met easily enough: http://central.sonatype.org/pages/requirements.html. (I've done this for LocationTech projects like JTS and GeoMesa, and I

Hi all, I agree with Andrea ... so far my experience with the OSGeo maven repository doesn't give me too much confidence for such an important move and one trouble per 2.5 years is not that bad indeed. Regards, Nuno Oliveira On 03/07/2018 02:24 PM, Andrea Aime wrote: Hi Jody, I don't think

Hi Jody, I don't think it's a specific event, my colleagues not involved in the full stack (and thus not having maybe an up to date GeoTools checkout) report repository slowness periodically (e.g., weekly or monthly). If the artifactory on SAC would get separation from other downloads, that is, its

The recent qgis release hit the OSGeo download servers hard, and our maven repo was affected. After all the fun with repo.boundlessgeo.org we probably know a) enough to host artifactory on SAC b) not to try cloud hosting of the same. On Tue, Mar 6, 2018 at 11:43 PM Andrea Aime wrote: > Hi Torben,

Hi Torben, I'm tentatively -1 on the idea but willing to discuss. The proposal you're citing is 2.5 years old and the mailing list trouble we have had in the past week is been the only really serious issue we have had since, as far as I remember. Migrating the lists to OSGeo will generate a very
