Absolutely. Our build is completely automated and reproducible, including generating the distribution. Here's (a slightly simplified version of) our build script: svn checkout $tag cd $leveldir/uimaj mvn -Duima.build.date="`date`" install cd .. cd uimaj-distr mvn assembly:assembly This does everything from svn extract to building the release artifacts (except the signing, that requires some manual intervention because of the release manager's key phrase). I don't think it gets much simpler than that. However, I don't think that addresses your concerns. AIUI, you would like our repository to look exactly like the source distribution. Well, it almost is, except for the files in the top level directory. Those get copied there when we build the distribution. Why? I guess we thought it's cleaner that way, and complies with maven's notion of organizing things. For example, the NOTICE file lives in uimaj-distr/src/main/readme. It's still there in the source distribution, but it's also at the top level. Now if we absolutely must, we can change that. I do admit that I don't quite understand the reason, though, and like it better the way it is ;-) --Thilo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
