I think the spirit behind this is great. However, I don't think it actually helps as the hardest part which will be for you to learn the release process itself. Time wise you should budget 3 weeks. When you do know what you're doing the process usually takes 2 weeks minimum as there's almost always at least one aborted vote and reroll. Given that, the chances of a release by CodeOne are already slim.
My advice would be to create a release branch and start cutting actual binaries in nexus. -- David Blevins http://twitter.com/dblevins http://www.tomitribe.com > On Oct 1, 2018, at 10:57 AM, Roberto Cortez <radcor...@yahoo.com.INVALID> > wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > Following up some of our recent emails, I did push a snapshot version marked > as RC of the upcoming TomEE 8 Release. > > Please, find the binaries here: > https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/tomee/apache-tomee/8.0.0-RC1-SNAPSHOT/ > > <https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/tomee/apache-tomee/8.0.0-RC1-SNAPSHOT/> > > And remember to add the following repository to your project: > <repositories> > <repository> > <id>apache.snapshots.https</id> > <name>Apache Development Snapshot Repository</name> > <url>https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url> > </repository> > </repositories> > > It should be very close to the actual release.
