Hi all,
an update on my test for preparing the 2.1.0 release:
- setup of a build vm on Ubuntu 22.04.x and OpenJDK 11 and all related
dependencies: done
- fix svn permissions on files (to repeat often before final release): done
(at the moment)
- RAT analysis on sources: done, all seems fine (there are files without
the Apache license but are usual Eclipse-related project files or txt files
for samples, etc)
- build of sources: done, with source 1.8, target 1.8 ... but I see the
following errors running `ant build` (ant 1.10.14):
```

```
-- so there is something to fix in the code, at least the failing
test: @Roger
Whitcomb <rwhitc...@apache.org> would you be able to help on that ? Thanks
a lot.
- PGP signature for release: TODO (Sandro)
- update RELEASE-NOTES with the updated list of issues completed in this
release: TODO (Roger, Sandro)
- other ?
Note that I'm using the latest OpenJDK-11, but once all has been fixed, do
you think it would be better to use the latest OpenJDK-17 instead ?
Just for info I'm following the guideline found at:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/infra/CREATE_RELEASE_WORKFLOW .
Hope it's good, sorry for the so long time taken but we are proceeding.
Let's update.
Bye
