[Converter] Questions about the Converter
Hi!
After a very long hiatus, I want to update the Converter and related projects (namely Serializer and Schematizer) in my system. I have a few questions.
First, upon searching Maven, it looks like the newest release of the OSGi Converter is 1.0.1, but the current SNAPSHOT version is 1.0.13-SNAPSHOT, so my guess is that 1.0.12 has been released somewhere. Where can I find that release?
By the way, why is there such a gap with the OSGi version? (Ok, perhaps not the right place to ask the question, but I’ll take whatever answer I can get.)
Second, what would I need to do to release the serializer and schematizer? I should still have committer status (unless it gets revoked due to inactivity?) but I have never done this before, and I’m not sure of the felix conventions and processes.
Thanks!
=David

The guide is a bit outdated, but I have tried to follow along.
I have been trying to do the release from within the Serializer project directory, but something is not working, and I have not been able to find how to solve the problem.
Here is the error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.5.1:prepare (default-cli) on project org.apache.felix.serializer: Unable to commit files
[ERROR] Provider message:
[ERROR] The svn command failed.
[ERROR] Command output:
[ERROR] svn: E155007: ‘[...]/felix/converter/serializer/pom.xml' is not a working copy
I found some information that appears to be relevant here, but it did not help me resolve the issue:

Am I doing this the wrong way, or am I just missing something in my POM?

It's just the nature of the beast. Use the Felix one since it has many many
bug fixes more than the OSGi one. We're trying to rectify this situation,
but it's not going to be very soon.

Releasing is pretty straightforward, if you follow this guide [1].

You never lose committer status in Apache projects unless you ask to be
removed :)

Sorry, this sentence was poorly written and unclear. Also I confirmed that the Felix Converter is released to Maven Central.
I meant that there is an “OSGi release” released as org.osgi:org.osgi.util.converter, and there is also a "Felix release" released as org.apache.felix:org.apache.felix.converter.
The one released as org.osgi:org.osgi.util.converter is at version 1.0.1, while the one release as org.apache.felix:org.apache.felix.converter is at 1.0.12.
