I was able to reproduce the build failure and also figure out the reason for it + fix it. Turns out the the source ZIP contains several extra files (in this case 2 *hostkey.ser* files) that are actually *products* of the compilation and test code and not true sources (i.e., the test code produces them and re-uses them if they are already there). Once these files are removed (see *sshd-core* and *sshd-netty*) the build completes successfully (Emmanuel, please try removing the said files from the sources bundle you downloaded and confirm that you can also complete the build). I have fixed the assembly descriptors that generate the binary and source distributions to correctly filter them out + added a pre-build cleanup step in the POM(s) that takes care of removing them before running the compilation and/or tests. We now have 2 options: 1. re-release from the git *master* that has the changes I have made 2. remove the "offending" files from the relevant ZIP/TAR.GZ source packages, re-package, re-publish and ask for a renewed vote. Option 1: the safest/formal (gets my vote...) Option 2: the quickest Emmanuel/Jonathan/Guiilaume... What do you think ? Lyor G.
