Hi devs,
We've had a meeting with Marius, Thomas and myself and we brainstormed about what to improve in our builds and we've come up with the following actions:
1- create twitter account for xwiki.org and tweet about releases (basically tweet links to blog posts). Category: Release Process improvement. Who: Vincent Massol 2- Refactor distribution for installers to share more. Who: Thomas Mortagne 3- Check latest version of izpack. Who: Marius 4- Configure nexus to cache other repos → speed improvement. Who: Vincent Massol 5- Add definition xwiki remote repo to top level repos in github. Who: Vincent Massol 6- Define a location for passwords. Who: Thomas Mortagne 7- Publish with commons and rendering on central repo. Who: ?
Status update: We now have repos for XWiki on the sonatype infra: " Configuration has been prepared, now you can: * Deploy snapshot artifacts into repository https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots * Deploy release artifacts into the staging repository https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2 * Promote staged artifacts into repository 'Releases' * Download snapshot and release artifacts from group https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public * Download snapshot, release and staged artifacts from staging group https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/staging " The next step I'd like to do is find a way to push our 3.2M2 artifacts (for commons and rendering) from our remote repo to the sonatype staging (for promotion to central). Thanks -Vincent
I've started to work on items 4 and 5 and will do 1 soon.
Also I've analyzed 7 and there's only 1 external reps not available in the Maven Central Repo: <groupId>org.reflections</groupId> <artifactId>reflections</artifactId>
It should be pretty easy to submit it using https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Uploading+3rd-party+Artifacts+t... To publish our artifacts to the central repo I propose to use Sonatype OSS service, see https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Sonatype+OSS+Maven+Repository+U...
Thanks -Vincent
