Short update and two release related questions in the end... *Short Update on Maven artifacts:*
The Maven artifacts can be found now in a staging repository for testing: https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/odftoolkit/odftoolkit/ and https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheodftoolkit-1004/ so you might already test it by adding this either by adding the following to your Maven settings: <profile> <id>odfstage</id> <activation> <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault> </activation> <repositories> <repository> <id>staged-releases</id> <url> https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheodftoolkit-1004/ </url> </repository> </repositories> </profile> or as you may test the latest SNAPSHOT (as it as the same binaries - only README and CHANGES.txt were changed) SNAPSHOTS can can found under https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/public/org/apache/odftoolkit/ (FYI: The problem I run into yesterday, was that Nexus did not find yesterday my GPG key on a public server when I closed the repositiory, I resent and tested this time availabiltiy.) *TWO QUESTIONS:* *1) *In our current way the release process is done (and I understood it), the release candiate gets an RC<Number> suffix, as RC1 now. We would voted upon and now the crazy part starts, it will thrown away and a new bundle would be deployed without the suffix as RELEASE. Maven offers a plugin to support renaming, but do we allow to rename the bundle on the server? *2) *If I understand John correctly the ZIP to vote on should be on https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/odftoolkit I was abel to access https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/ via WebDAV, but only with read, but not write access. sftp failed by authentication.
