Hi Andrea, first at all, sorry for causing this trouble.
We should ask Justin before proceeding, on how to manage compiled
version of dlls/libraries.
As you know we are working on an integration with spatialite. We have
worked on compiling sqlite and spatialite to work on all platforms, and
main job on that task is not related to output format itself (that is
simply java and couple of files). Our main concern up to now was to
detect how to get libraries working correctly.
Example: windows 64 bits was not working and we found way to compile
files to make them working, but..here is the question: how to do when
you should work with binaries that depends on third-party libraries ?
(what do you prefer ? the binary files or the sources of that libraries
that allow to get binaries ?, in that case, we should upload code,
but...where ? do you have some folder exclusively assigned for that
third-party libraries ?)
We are agree that it's not the best upload that binaries to a source
repository. Our mistake was not to ask before proceeding, and believe me
that it's my fault not to check with your team.
Now, how do you prefer to manage that ?
Your idea of getting jars for each OS is ok, but it will be still 50 MB
of "data", so we should move that jars to a repository folder . How can
we get access to those repositories ? must we ask for permissions ?.
Also, reviewing developer commit notes, i should ask you. How do you
believe it should be convinient to manage files on testing ? (we are
working on unit-testing on spatialite output-format, so where you should
place files for that ?. As you know, we should upload "generated output
artifacts" in order to do comparations when running testings....test
folder sounds "good", but files are not going to be 1 or 2, probably
will me a couple and i dont know how much space it would involve).
Again....I'm very sorry, and believe us that it is not going to happen
twice.
Just let us know where to place repository files and then we will place
all jarfiles inside. Also please comment us where to place testing
artifacts.
Regards
Jose

Hi,
tonight a large batch of native libraries was committed to the
community/spatialite section:
/devel/git-gs/src/community/spatialite/lib$ du -csh *
50M native
50M total
This is unprecedented, I think we got mad at people for less than 1MB
binary commits
in svn in the past.
Now, I understand Jose is new to GeoServer development so I'm going to
give him some
slack, but those libraries have to go, and please avoid any large file
commit to svn in
the future.
All types of libraries, pure java or should be handled by maven
artifacts,
which are going to be downloaded only by who works on the module.
I think SWT can be an example, afaik the jar distributed on the maven
repos contain
the native libraries for all the target OS (which in this case are
small enough to stick
all of them in a single jar).
In this case 50MB of library are too much for a single jar, I guess
they could be split
by OS with profiles activating based on the current operating system?
Btw, I think Jose will need rights to upload these jars either to the
osgeo or opengeo
repositories.
Cheers
Andrea
