ApacheDS 2.0.0.AM26 release

[Emmanuel Lécharny <el...@gmail.com>]

Hi !


I'm cutting the long requested release of ApacheDS M26. It takes a bit 
of time, I'm currently generating the site (will be done in an hour more 
or less). I wish to start a vote later tonite.


It's not a major release, but it contains the transaction support (which 
is used internally for each atomic operation, and that may solve our 
database corruption issue). The transaction support can also be 
leveraged from the outside, through an extended operation, and that 
could be very useful to quickly inject thousands of entries in the 
server, by doing so within a single transaction - thinking about Studio 
load operation here -.


There are *many* JIRAs that need to be addressed, some of them critical 
(I'm thinking about packaging), but I think the best course of action 
now is to cut releases that are related to a set of issues (like, fixing 
as much PasswordPolicy issues as possible, then cut a release).

I have very little time to dedicate to the project atm, having changed 
my day job, but I wil try to squeeze a bit more in the coming months. 
The difficulty is that for many of the existing issues, you have to 
focus on the code for many hours to get through them. You don't have a 
lot of low hanging fruits. Any help here would be *very* appreciated !


Regarding the installers, we really need to get past the tool we use, 
which is limited. There is YAJSW, which is a java implementation of the 
Tanuki wrapper, it's OSS, it's not limiting on 32bist for the windows 
platform. I think it's time to switch to it. The MacOSX signature 
requirement has to be addressed. I have an official Applle signature for 
that. Last, not least, it's probably time to offer an Ansible packaging 
solution, beside a docker dockerfile.


That's it for today, will come back to you with a vote.


Many thanks !

FTR, I just added the bin and archive packages that were missing on 
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/directory/apacheds/2.0.0.AM26/
