Thanks for starting a new thread Andrea, in the interest of time I did my
own preflight testing.
The source download did not include pom.xml files and so on allowing a
build, I expect the maven assembly for this artefact needs to be updated in
response to our introduction of a "gs" prefix.
Contents of src folder:
community
extension
gs-gwc
gs-kml
gs-main
gs-ows
gs-platform
gs-rest
gs-restconfig
gs-security
gs-wcs
gs-wcs1_0
gs-wcs1_1
gs-wcs2_0
gs-wfs
gs-wms
pom.xml
VERSION.txt
web
I relied on this source download in the past in order to manually create a
mac DMG.
