Hi Julian, In reviewing the history, it looks like the dependency on oak-core was first introduced to resolve SLING-7886 and SLING-7887 via the commit at [3]. If I recall correctly, that 1.6.x version of oak was the version that was being used in the sling starter (version 10'ish) at the time so I chose that as the minimum version to depend on. As far as I can tell, the code being utilized here is still compatible with the latest version of oak so there hasn't been any reason to change the minimum version yet.
I suppose we could now change that dependency to org.apache.jackrabbit:oak-security-spi instead as long as everyone is comfortable with moving the minimum version of oak up to version 1.8 or later? 1. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7886 2. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7887 3. https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-jcr-jackrabbit-usermanager/commit/141637a6afaae62f593eb45ab4721b5b356e3182#diff-ad9077962ed0c1d4663683f490b1a073 Regards, -Eric On Mon, Jul 27, 2020 at 3:25 AM Julian Reschke <julian.resc...@gmx.de> wrote: > Am 26.07.2020 um 23:39 schrieb Eric Norman: > > Hi, > > > > We solved 3 issues in this release: > > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING/fixforversion/12344081 > > > > Staging repository: > > https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachesling-2304/ > > > > You can use this UNIX script to download the release and verify the > > signatures: > > > https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=sling-tooling-release.git;a=blob;f=check_staged_release.sh;hb=HEAD > > > > Usage: > > sh check_staged_release.sh 2304 /tmp/sling-staging > > > > Please vote to approve this release: > > > > [ ] +1 Approve the release > > [ ] 0 Don't care > > [ ] -1 Don't release, because ... > > > > This majority vote is open for at least 72 hours. > > Out of curiosity: why does this have a dependency on oak-*core*, and > that at a very very outdated version? > > Best regards, Julian > >
