It sounds good to me, thanks Marshall. Tommaso 2010/9/9 Marshall Schor <[email protected]>
> Here's the current draft, for anyone's comments and updates: > ----------------- > Status report for the Apache UIMA Project > > Apache UIMA's mission: the creation and maintenance of open-source > software related to the analysis of unstructured data, guided by the > UIMA Oasis Standard. > > Releases: > > Maven Build tooling artifacts (e.g., parent POMs, maven helper plugins > and resources) that we will be using for our actual releases have > been released. This was our first use of the Apache Nexus repository > and staging mechanism. We expect a release of UIMA itself, shortly, > using this new tooling. > > 2010-1-26 2.3.0 (Incubator - last release) release of Java SDK, Annotator > add-on package, UIMA-AS (Async scaleout), and UIMA-CPP > (C++ enablement) > > Development: > > Some users complained about the difficulty in getting through the > one-time-setups needed to build. Some of this is because we're a bit on > the bleeding edge for maven build tooling; some of the difficulties are > going away as bugs are fixed in the underlying build tooling. > > A small annoyance in how UIMA's "ResultSpecification" worked led to > a careful examination of a multitude of "corner cases", and eventually, > to a complete redo of this part of the code. > > Jira issues continue to come in and get worked on at a moderate rate, > including several in the UIMA-AS (Asynchronous Scaleout) area related > to various error recovery scenarios, mostly. > > A Maven-Central-upload event on Sept. 7 that placed many partial entries > for Eclipse 3.6 artifacts (missing POMs and JARs) ended up breaking > our builds; this was reported to the maven-dev list, and it is being > looked into. We worked around this issue by adding dependencies to > our already version-locked-down Eclipse artifacts, to lock down the > transitively depended-on Eclipse artifacts. > > Community: No changes > > Issues: No Board level issues at this time > -------------- > -Marshall > > > On 9/3/2010 7:00 PM, Marshall Schor wrote: > > Hi Everyone, > > > > The next report to the board is due, around Sept. 12th - about a week > from now. > > > > Please post some items for this; here's a start :-) > > > > - Internal build tooling using Maven reworked, and released. > > -- working on simplifying "setup" needed to use build tooling (currently > > requires custom patches) > > > > - No releases since coming out of incubator; plan to do first > non-incubator > > release before the next board report > > > > - Jira issues continue to be reported and addressed at a moderate rate. > > > > - No issues requiring board attention > > > > -Marshall > > > > > > >
