Yes, I (and others) am putting off work on the xmlgraphics-commons 1.1
release waiting for you to move it forward. Do I understand that this
is ready for a release, and that you would be happy if we move forward
with it? If so, then the next thing to do is the xml-fop-0.93 release.

Not really. I stumbled over
http://www.apache.org/dev/repository-faq.html and suddenly confusion was
all over me again. Looks like this is the new way how Apache release
should be promoted into iBiblio. Completely different from what I
prepared. Anyway, I got side-tracked again on Saturday evening and so
I've not been able to check anything.
Purpose: People ask for Maven artifacts from time to time (for Batik and
FOP) for use in their Maven-enabled (or lately Ivy-enabled) projects
enabling auto-download of dependecies for Java projects. In the past
some people have simply put some JAR files with some minimalistic POM
onto iBiblio. The Cocooners asked me to do something about it. They even
helped me setting up the POM etc.
In essence, what needs to be done is to somehow verify that the Maven
artifact package stuff I hacked into the build does the right thing. I
don't think we have to use the new Apache repository already. The
package that is currently built is theoretically containing everything
that is needed to submit a request for inclusion in iBiblio. But I don't
use Maven and I had my good share of bad experience using it (building
Cocoon), so this is not a two-minute job for me.
More info:

Big thanks if you look into this as I'm completely unavailable the next
three days. No worries if you don't. We can do the release without this
part.

Did you have any chance to work on that? What needs to be done and,
what's the purpose?
Thanks,

Cool!

Right. Tag from from the 1.1 branch, build the release, put it on
people.apache.org and vote on it here.
The only thing I'm planning on checking (trying tonight) is if the Maven
stuff works as expected. Otherwise, Commons 1.1 is good to go. Well, it
doesn't have much on the documentation side but there will be better
times sometime. :-)

I'm ok with a release as is. Better that than nothing. Having that
before Christmas is probably not possible because of the vote duration
(72h).

Good idea.

IMO, if we want to mark this FOP-release as production-ready, we
might want to have a look at incorporating some of Richard Wheeldon's
ideas (see Bugzilla 41044 and 41009), mainly the selective commenting
out of unused properties. It's not that big a deal, since we can
reactivate them later. FTM, all it will do is reduce memory usage in
the FOTree, which benefits users that need to process huge FO documents.
I'll have a look at this later next week.
Later,
Andreas

FYI: I've been wanting to work on the release for a while, but until now
I haven't had much time and had to learn new things like PGP key signing
and the release process at Apache. I should be able to allocate time for
that next week.
Commons 1.1 needs to be released first. If I'm correct no further
changes are awaited; there are some merging work to perform between the
Trunk and the 1.1 branch and then we can tag and release.
For Fop 0.93 we will have to define what needs to be absolutely done
before releasing. I'm personally in favor of releasing as is because we
can't wait more. It would be great to release before Christmas but
that'll be tight IMO...
