Hi
This is the second attempt to release commons-logging 1.1.1.
Changes since the last try:
- The Maven 2 build now packages LICENSE and NOTICE files in the correct
place in all distributables
- A couple of minor bugs were fixed
Release Notes:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12310484&styleName=Html&version=12312160
Tag:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/logging/tags/commons-logging-1.1.1/
Staged repository:
http://people.apache.org/~dennisl/staging-repository-commons-logging/
Distribution files:
http://people.apache.org/~dennisl/commons-logging-1.1.1.tar.gz
http://people.apache.org/~dennisl/commons-logging-1.1.1.tar.gz.asc
http://people.apache.org/~dennisl/commons-logging-1.1.1.zip
http://people.apache.org/~dennisl/commons-logging-1.1.1.zip.asc
Are these the files that are to be released via Apache mirrors?
Yes.
If so, then there should be separate binary and source archives, as
per the previous release 1.1:
http://www.apache.org/dist/commons/logging/
No, there will be only one distributed archive which contains both
source and binaries. The archive will be available in .tar.gz and .zip
formats. This was decided back when we discussed what should go into a
distribution.
AFAICS Logging will be the only Commons project that will no longer
have separate binary and source archives.
I think that's a retrograde step.
Here a link to the discussion I mentioned earlier:
http://www.nabble.com/-all--What%27s-in-a-distribution--tf2910639.html#a8132562
Thanks - I was having problems finding that.
Yeah, it seems to have vanished from the Apache archive :-/
There does not seem to have been a final decision (or even summary) of
the e-mail thread, which is a pity. Probably ought to be on the
developer section of the commons site.
Consensus was not reached, so I didn't bother writing any docs for it.
However:
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A--all--What%27s-in-a-distribution--p8133008.html
does ask for the whole of SVN to be included.
AFAICS, only one message supported having a single combined archive;
at least one other message referred to the need to keep archive sizes
small.
There was a wide variety of opinions, but no clear direction. I have no
objections towards changing the assemblies. I just don't have the energy
to push for a standard for Commons assemblies at this time. So I would
like to use the assembly that we have now for this release.
Point taken re time to push for standard.
However, even if the standard is not documented, the de facto standard
for all other commons projects - including previous versions of
logging - is to provide both source and binary archives.
Given the fact that there was no agreement on change of direction, I
think logging should stick with the status quo.
I hear what you are saying, but at the time the was not even status quo,
because there was no component that had been released with Maven 2.
Therefor it was difficult to copy/paste a solution from another component.
If someone can point me to a document that tells me what should be in a
source/binary distribution I can create Maven 2 assemblies for it. But
until then we're stuck in limbo. And I'm not really interested in
dragging this release for another month. It should have been released
ages ago. I've already spent too much time on getting the commons-parent
and the commons-skin into reasonable shape.
Please cast your votes!
