Apache Jackrabbit 1.4 release candidate 1

[Jukka Zitting <ju...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

[Hmm, for some reason this message never reached the mailing list. Resending...]

After branching 1.4 a few hours ago, I have now built and packaged the
first release candidate build for the Apache Jackrabbit 1.4 release.
Note that this is not yet the formal release candidate to be voted on,
just a preview for testing and feedback.

The candidate packages are available at

    http://people.apache.org/~jukka/jackrabbit/1.4-rc1/

Like before, I've made a single source package, a number of binaries,
and a staged Maven 2 repository available. See the RELEASE-NOTES.txt
file for details about the release structure and the list of all the
changes since 1.3.x.

The difference between this and the final 1.4 release will likely be
minimal. If anyone spots some major issues I've overlooked in the
packages, then such fixes will certainly still go in. I'm also looking
at a few low-risk issues like JCR-1259 and JCR-1226 as candidates for
last-minute merging in case I find enough cycles to follow up on them
in time.

For future reference, here's a somewhat cleaned up log of how I built
and packaged the release candidate:

    $ mkdir $HOME/1.4-rc1
    $ cd $HOME/1.4-rc1
    $ mkdir sources binaries repository
    $ svn export
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/tags/1.4-rc1
jackrabbit-1.4-rc1
    $ jar cMf sources/jackrabbit-1.4-rc1-src.jar
    $ cd jackrabbit-1.4-rc1
    $ cp RELEASE-NOTES.txt ..
    $ mvn deploy -DaltDeploymentRepository=my::default::file://$HOME/1.4-rc1
    $ cd jackrabbit-ocm
    $ mvn deploy -DaltDeploymentRepository=my::default::file://$HOME/1.4-rc1
    $ cd jackrabbit-ocm-nodemanagement
    $ mvn deploy -DaltDeploymentRepository=my::default::file://$HOME/1.4-rc1
    $ cd ../..
    $ for f in sources/*.jar; do gpg --armor --output $f.asc
--detach-sig $f; done
    $ find repository -name '*.?ar' -exec gpg --armor --output {}.asc
--detach-sig {} \;
    $ find repository -name '*.pom' -exec gpg --armor --output {}.asc
--detach-sig {} \;
    $ cp repository/org/apache/jackrabbit/*/1.4-rc1/*.?ar binaries
    $ cp repository/org/apache/jackrabbit/*/1.4-rc1/*.?ar.asc binaries
    $ rm -f binaries/*sources*
    $ for f in binaries/*.?ar sources/*.jar; do openssl md5 < $f >
$f.md5; openssl sha1 < $f > $f.sha; done
    $ rm -rf jackrabbit-1.4-rc1
    $ cd ..
    $ scp -r 1.4-rc1 jukka@people.apache.org:public_html/jackrabbit

I'll fix them and also merge the changes to the 1.4 branch.

Good points, see my comments in the issues.

Will you be fixing these, or should I? I can take care of merging the
fixes to the 1.4 branch.

I've identified a couple of issues with the demo web application, which I'd like 
to fix for the 1.4 release:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1298
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1299

Thanks for the issues reported so far, keep them coming! I'll review
and try to resolve them all.

I'll wait until Wednesday for any more problem reports against this
candidate package, and (unless any major unresolved issues remain)
will then follow up with the release vote.
