Ciao Sandro, I will help with all these that I can. Please note I committed one more set of changes that I’ve had pending for upwards of a year (so, well tested at least).
And yes, I’d say Java 8 is still “required” in that there is nothing in the code that can’t be run in Java 8, and so it is still compatible as far back as Oracle is still supporting (that is, Java 6 which was the previous requirement is no longer supported). AFAICT Java 8 vs Java 11 is no big deal, as in no particular reason to require java 11, when Java 11 runs Java 8 code just fine. There are still some svn: properties inconsistencies (in that there are still some DOS-style line endings in some files). Yes, I think Junit 4.x should still work (i’m using 4.11 on my MacBook). List of JIRA issues and changes will be HARD because it has been SO LONG and I’ve made literally 100s of changes since. But I will do my best, but it will probably take about a week … Thanks SO MUCH, ~Roger > On Oct 31, 2023, at 12:17 PM, Sandro Martini <sandro.mart...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > I'm still doing the setup of the vm for the release build, looking at docs > (see it here > <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__svn.apache.org_repos_asf_pivot_infra_CREATE-5FRELEASE-5FWORKFLOW&d=DwIFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=NGXYnxeSiI_cX848yMIhm_nxVirU2qvwSBiomy8msDM&m=_EirRUz7n8yN5YBagiAtTLU38b9mnJS7wxfUd_9mAMGeGVltCnfvHCmymsqNKWO9&s=a7yHbKSZmYORo1MktnNVjEdzlIPnWGd7AGkg5pYQq5E&e=>) > 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://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__dist.apache.org_repos_dist_release_pivot_&d=DwIFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=NGXYnxeSiI_cX848yMIhm_nxVirU2qvwSBiomy8msDM&m=_EirRUz7n8yN5YBagiAtTLU38b9mnJS7wxfUd_9mAMGeGVltCnfvHCmymsqNKWO9&s=CDteuPRaQp-71krYJ6hb4tGUh1hCr7UIcfZbOPkHCcM&e=>; > then generated jar > artifacts will be published even to Maven Central (I can do it later). > > @Roger could you help me with these questions ?
