Questions about geronimo 2.0 plugin repository

[Donald Woods <dr...@yahoo.com>]

How do we update the contents of the 
http://geronimo.apache.org/plugins/geronimo-2.0/repository/ directory? 
Everything except the /repository directory is in svn under 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/geronimo/site/trunk/docs/plugins/ which 
currently contains 1.2-SNAPSHOT and 2.0-M1-SNAPSHOT binaries....

Can we update the build/release process on gbuild to automatically 
remove the existing release directory (currently 2.0-SNAPSHOT) and push 
the latest org.apache.geronimo build artifacts over at least once a week?

site/trunk/docs/plugins/geronimo-2.0/.htaccess contains this rewrite rule:

RewriteRule ^repository/(.*)
http://people.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository/$1

This rule makes requests to the URL you mentioned above get redirected
to the maven snapshot repository.   Publishing a Geronimo snapshot
updates the content of that repository.  When 2.0 is released then we
will update that rewrite rule to redirect to the permanent
(non-snapshot) repository location.

I think that would be a great idea because it would ensure that any
changes made to the plugin metadata under server/trunk/configs is
available from the plugins in the snapshot repository on a more
predictable schedule.   Eventually I think that we'll also need to
automate creation of the repository catalogs.  I do that by hand right
now (good old vim) and have been meaning to write a perl script to
automate it.  Maybe that could be hooked into gbuild.

BTW, in case you're looking at this plugin stuff right now you should
be aware that after making the changes below I found that the
2.0-M1-SNAPSHOT plugins published in the maven snapshot repo don't
work with 2.0-SNAPSHOT because of the serialVersionUID change made to
GOperationInfo.java.  Grrrrrr.  So far we don't have a good track
record for maintaining plugin compatibility across Geronimo releases,
which is the reason why there's basically a catalog for every release.
 I'm hoping to cut down on the number of catalogs by enhancing the
plugin schema to allow multiple download locations per plugin, based
on the geronimo version.  (I'll start a discuss thread on that before
making any changes)

Best wishes,
Paul
