[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-6739) Upgrade ant requirement to 1.9 in trunk (6.0)

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6739?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14698034#comment-14698034 ]

--------------------------------------

Related but not exactly on-topic:

I've been able to run the smoketester on official 4.x and 5.x release candidates despite having the wrong version of ant, which initially confused me, because nightly-smoke fails for me.  I'm wondering if perhaps the smoketester should verify that the tester's ant version also matches the official requirement.  Is ant sufficiently removed from smoketester operation that it can't impact the validity of the test?

I've realized that testing release candidates works for me because the explicit ant version comparison is only checked in the release artifacts.  The official RC builds are built with the correct ant version.  The information found in the artifacts is correct, even though *my* version of ant doesn't match.  When I run nightly-smoke, I am building the artifacts locally, and the comparison fails.

> In trunk, I think we should upgrade the ant requirement to 1.9, both for the main build and for the smoketester.  Ant 1.9 was released two years ago and the ant version packaged with Ubuntu 14 is 1.9.3.  I'm not sure what comes with recent versions of Redhat systems and their derivatives, but the way that Redhat packages ant is completely incompatible with our build system anyway, requiring a manual install.
