Hi. I'm in the process of releasing DVSL. No real problem for now except
that the JIRA site fell down and that I need to be in the apcvs group on
people.apache.org to deploy the jar to maven repositories.

The remaining of this mail goes deeper into some details.

Done for now:

* copied release files to /www/www.apache.org/dist/velocity/dvsl/1.0

* deployed DVSL dev site using velocity.zones scripts

  note: even after "newgrp velocity", maven was searching
for /export/home/velocity/.ssh/id_rsa, so, as the velocity user, I had
to:
  - "ssh-key -t rsa" in /export/home/velocity/.ssh
  - chmod g+rx /export/home/velocity/.ssh
  - chmod g+r /export/home/velocity/.ssh/id_rsa
  and to copy id_rsa.pub to my authorized hosts file on
people.apache.org

* created the DVSL release site directory and script

Not done yet:

 * deploy the DVSL release site (just waiting for the JIRA site to come
back online, it just went down)

 * update and deploy the velocity site (xdoc, doap file, news).

 * deploy the jar to maven repositories. I found the maven command in an
email from Henning:

mvn -Dfile=dist/velocity-dvsl-1.0.jar \
    -Drepository.id=apache.releases \
    -DpomFile=pom.xml \
    -Durl=scpexe://[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]/www/people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync/repository \
    deploy:deploy-file

but I don't have enough karma on people.apache.org (apcvs group needed IMO).

 * other things I may have forgotten?

   
One remark: all the URLs in the current doap_dvsl.rdf file end
with /devel/, while others don't...

    for instance :
    
      <Project rdf:about="http://velocity.apache.org/anakia/";>
        ...
        <name>Anakia</name>
        <homepage rdf:resource="http://velocity.apache.org/anakia/"; />
        
    both the about and homepage URL point to
http://velocity.apache.org/anakia/ whereas this URL points to an empty
page. In fact, only http://velocity.apache.org/engine/index.html does
contain something. You guessed my question: shoud we put some content in
http://velocity.apache.org/anakia, http://velocity.apache.org/texen,
http://velocity.apache.org/tools and http://velocity.apache.org/dvsl ?
Or should we use /devel/ links in the doap/rdf file when this index is
empty?

My suggestion: add short descriptions for all subprojects, modeled after
engine/index.html, that serve as a subproject home. When this is ready
I'd even like to replace the "Development" menu section with a
"Subprojects" one, linked to those homes rather than directly to
the /devel/ site. Otherwise those new subprojects homes are not
accessible from the main index, and adding both "Development" and
"Subprojects" menu sections is rather heavy.
