Question for a new Apache Ant release
Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask for a new release of the Apache Ant tool. The main
bugfix I'm interested in is the following:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50960
The reason is that we use Apache Ant in a course in university where we
use Ant to compile and launch programs. Since version 1.8.2, Ant
swallows the commands written to Stdin, so we advise the students to
install Ant version 1.8.1. But it would be nice to have the newest
version of Ant also working with our environment.
I'm looking forward for the release :-)
Kind Regards
Felix

Usually any Ant committer (and on the dev list, not this list).

Basically "I'm willing to act as release manager by XYZ, any
objections?", but that certainly means that the person who proposes the
release actually is able to create one. This is not just about
permissions, it also requires a sufficiently old JDK along with more
recent ones and access to certain jars for the optional tasks, some of
which are hard to obtain by now.

There is a rather crude description of the release process itself in
svn. It did make sense to the people who have managed the last
few releases.

Who typically proposes the release plan? Anyone on this list?
Is there a documented process for what the release plan needs to
include?

Understandable 8-)
Honestly, I don't have any idea. So far nobody has proposed a release
plan.
But you are right, the last release has been made about a year ago, so
maybe it is time to simply release what we have in store. I'll kick off
a discussion on the dev list sometime later this week.
