Hi all, I'm still doing the setup of the vm for the release build, looking at docs (see it here <http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/infra/CREATE_RELEASE_WORKFLOW>) it seems that there are some open points: - which JUnit version to use (latest 4.x is good) ? - we need to gather the whole list of JIRA issues done for this release and put a summary in the README, grouped per type; then commit the updated file - compatibility with Java 8 is really required ? - svn properties fixed for all committed files -> I'm working on it (and other checks are needed for release content, see related scripts); something just committed, but expect other to be committed (there are some other files that need a fix in svn properties); please check that my commit didn't broke something (it shouldn't) - release files have to be signed with my PGP signature, I need to further check details and lastly I need to refresh my memory about other related stuff, sorry but I created the previous release years ago.
FYI final release artifacts (once release will be approved) will be pushed into the new distribution folder, which is here <https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/pivot/>; then generated jar artifacts will be published even to Maven Central (I can do it later). @Roger could you help me with these questions ? About JIRA issues, you think that a filter between releases could be good the same (probably we'll need to check the list of issues) Let's update during the next few days ... Thanks a lot.
