Go for it!  Commit then review should be the default, I don't see any
reason patches would need to be reviewed in advance.

On the user list someone was trying to download the 1.4.0-incubating
release, which isn't available yet (until the vote finishes
successfully.)

I wondered where they got the link, and it seems that the website has
already been updated saying 1.4.0-incubating is available as of May 6.
 That's not correct, it should have the date of the release
announcement when it happens, not the start of the vote.

http://incubator.apache.org/npanday/

(Not a huge deal at this point since it goes to a download page that
doesn't work, and the vote is almost finished anyway.  We can just fix
the date when it's known.)

Hmm actually if you go ahead and open the vote on general@, you
might get another binding vote from there.  AIUI, it's all one vote
spread across the two lists, you just have to get three Incubator PMC
members.

And since you're going to have to leave that vote open for the
requisite three days, might as well go ahead and get it started now
that you're pretty sure things are okay with the release.

Suggestion for user & dev list separation

2011-05-08 Thread Wendy Smoak
I notice there's a user having trouble with the as-yet-unreleased
(still being voted on, right?) 1.4.0-incubating version.

It might be a good idea to reserve the user list for discussion of
released software and general questions, while inviting anyone who is
using snapshots or helping to test releases over to the dev list to
get help and give feedback.

(He's already frustrated enough, I wouldn't try to move that
conversation, just something to consider adopting as a project
guideline.)

I think it's nice to give the community a head start before opening
the vote to incubator-general@.  It does mean a longer voting period,
but that's probably fine for now.  Has someone checked the
license/notice/signature type things already?  -Wendy

Fine with me.  (Is this something that can happen in a 1.2 -> 1.3

No, what you quoted clearly says, "and then call for a Incubator PMC
VOTE on the general incubator list."

Sorry I misled you on irc -- I saw that you had three Incubator PMC
member votes and didn't realize that you also have to post the [VOTE]

I'm pretty sure Brett meant the normal Maven ~/.m2/settings.xml.
Maven only reads that file, it doesn't create or change it.

I commented elsewhere that I'm not set up to test anything on Windows

Release early, release often. :)  I think we're waiting on a vote or
two for 1.3.0, so it would seem reasonable to either finish that up
first, or decide to abandon it.  (Would the current infrastructure
support having two staged releases at one time?)  Either way, I
wouldn't expect it to be too long before the next one, as you noted,
there are already plenty of fixes.

No... a property called localRepository should be only the location of
the local repository.  Adding "magic" like expecting to find the
settings files one level up from that will get you into trouble.  What
if someone puts their local repository in f:\ ?  What if the user
doesn't have permission to write to the parent directory?

Maven uses the -s switch on the command line to point to the settings
file.   Is there any reason you need more than that?

Before you invent a property, does Maven already have one it knows
about for the regular settings.xml file?

Unfortunately I'm not set up to test anything on Windows.

I did notice, however, that the staged artifacts are showing up in
search and browse on vmbuild, for example:
http://vmbuild.apache.org/archiva/browse/npanday/NPanday.Assemblies

I started to open a bug against the repository staging/promotion
feature, then I realized it's running Archiva 1.3.x. :)

I would think staged artifacts should not be so visible, perhaps
un-checking 'scannable' for that repo would be good?  I tried
resetting my password to see if I have access to change it but I
haven't received an email yet.

Here's the issue:  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NPANDAY-361

Adding a(nother) profile to settings.xml sounds error prone.  I'd
prefer to have it match the behavior of Maven as closely as possible,
which I think means using a command line switch.

How about just looking for that switch and assuming that settings.xml
and npanday-settings.xml are in the same place?  Is there any reason
for the NPanday settings to need to live in a different place than the
regular settings?

If so, then I suppose a property is the way to go.  But I would just
expect it to be set on the command line.

Because NPanday is the 'second' settings file, it will probably be
possible to set the property in settings.xml and it will be there by
the time NPanday wants it.  I don't think this should require a
'special' profile id.

Keep it simple. :)

Comment from the peanut gallery:  can you describe the problem you're
trying to solve when you propose a solution?  For someone just
scanning the mailing list, this doesn't make much sense out of
context.  But if you give more info you might get someone interested
enough to go read the full history (include a link to the issue
tracker?) and maybe even get involved to help.  At a minimum you'll
insert some information in the casual observer's brain about How Stuff
Works.

Thanks for pushing through and getting it to finish, that doesn't
sound like it was much fun!

The subject line of this thread caught my eye -- "released" at Apache
usually means that it has been voted on and is ready to be given to
users.  Maybe next time something like  'release candidate available
for testing' would be better? I think there are some examples on the
Maven dev list, they also do release candidates.

Now I'll have to see if I even have Windows anywhere to test this...

Thanks!
