Hi all,
After a long discussion with Oliver (thanks Oliver ...) we managed to arrive at the conclusion that the build.xml needs refurbishment in the release target.
This is heavily significant to everybody: developers users and community.
As my understanding we all use slide in a large quantity of flavors and fashions. And as long as there are various needs around, it needs a bit of discussion to you all.
What binary distributions you want to produce out of the release target in the build.xml ?
The actual old way of producing jakarta-slide.2.0.0.tar.gz is a tomcat deployed in a non exactly standard way with a lot of old code.
I agree. I dislike this myself.
There can be the need for a separate binary for the distribution of
1 the slide client (this would be useful to my personal project)
I already proposed the cration of a new module for that. Ah, btw, after you guys nominated me committer, I've been elected in the Jakarta PMC, so that makes things a little easier as I can influence the PMC directly now (that that's why I accepted the nomination).
Congratulations!
2 out of the box build with tomcat 4.x (please propose me a version) ideal would be latest (this would be useful to my personal project)
3 out of the box build with jboss (project www.jbpm.org has one and it's really nice) (this would be useful to my personal project)
4 a binary build with the needed wars and stuff for being deployed in a generic app server (see for example jetspeed project) maybe a build.xml can be needed for doing the deployment
I think that #4 would solve #2 and #3. As for #3, this is not possible as the ASF has a policy not to distribute LGPL software.
#4 does not allow to use the authentication of the web container, I guess. This is a valuable thing and should not be omitted.
5 a zip for the sources
Yes.
6 a zip with the webdav-test suite
Agreed. I would go as far as proposing another CVS module for the test entirely. So that would make three CVS module
jakarta-slide jakarta-slide-client jakarta-slide-tests
which would increase isolation and allow faster development.
Really? Why?
Oliver
