What's the status of javaflow?

[Grzegorz Kossakowski <gr...@tuffmail.com>]

Hello,

I noticed that fresh build with allblocks enabled of Cocoon's trunk does not work because of missing 
dependency:
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.

Missing:
----------
1) org.apache.commons:javaflow:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT

   Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

   Then, install it using the command:
       mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.commons -DartifactId=javaflow 
-Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

   Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:
       mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.apache.commons -DartifactId=javaflow 
-Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

   Path to dependency:
         1) org.apache.cocoon:cocoon-javaflow-impl:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
         2) org.apache.commons:javaflow:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT


I believe that this dependency was stored on our snapshots repository, but now it seems to be empty, 
see:
http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/org/apache/commons/javaflow/

More interesting thing is that, it seems to be empty for any other artifact. Does anybody know what 
happened there?

I would like to ask you what's the status of Javaflow block. If it's not working, and there is no 
prospects that it will be working (e.g. that there will be official release of javaflow from 
commons) I think we should exclude this block from build completely.

At least this is what I'm going to do now to fix our build.

It concerns far more than that. Some projects
are not following ASF legal procedures, and are
using the snapshot repository instead of doing
proper release procedures.

See that thread on the infrastructure@ list.

According to a mail from today on the infra@apache, all snapshots older 
than 30 days were deleted in order to increase the free disk space.
