Jody, I think it's well understood that having most of the good coverage support/work on 2.3.x is unideal right now, but I'm surprised that you're just coming across this issue for the first time right now.
As I understand it Simone and Alessio targeted 2.3.x back when 2.4.x was still a gleam in the PMC's eyes. There was a 1.4.x_merge_wcs geoserver branch which became GS 1.5.x which has always targeted 2.3.x. I have to admit I wasn't paying full attention to the gt branches right then, but I think 1.4.x peeled off (leaving gs-trunk/1.5.x as a WCS version) right about the time that 2.3.x peeled off of gt-trunk (leaving gt-trunk/2.4.x as a not-targeted-by-any-geoserver version). In any case, I'm sure everyone would love it if the 2.3.x coverage work moved forward to trunk, but since most of the coverage work is motivated by having raster data available through geoserver, we're stuck at 2.3.x till gs-trunk-on-trunk comes around and is stable enough to deploy. All of which is to state my opinion on two things: 1) Having all the GCE work targeting 2.3.x is unideal, but the only currently workable solution for those interested in actually serving raster data through geoserver. 2) Moving the GCE work to gt-trunk is necessary, but blocks on a *usable* gs-trunk-on-trunk and the time to port the GCE work to 2.4.x. --saul Jody Garnett wrote: > The goal here is to make sure trunk is stable (and suitable); if there > is a tone of changes and improvements lurking on 2.3.x then we have a > different set of troubles ... > Cheers, > Jody ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
