Hi there,

we have noticed a problem with the maven packaging of 2.25.4. Unfortunately it declares SNAPSHOT dependencies for Geotools and GWC, which breaks external systems that fetch the geoserver artifacts using maven.

See: https://repo.osgeo.org/repository/release/org/geoserver/geoserver/2.25.4/geoserver-2.25.4.pom

<gs.version>2.25.4</gs.version>
<gt.version>31-SNAPSHOT</gt.version>
<gwc.version>1.25-SNAPSHOT</gwc.version>

Is there any chance, this can be fixed - because if not, this version cannot be used in maven.

Btw, this problem is also happening in 2.25.3 but there only the GWC version is affected. Interestingly the version 2.26.0 doesn’t have any of these problems.

Thanks and Best Regards
Sören

I agree I checked the build job responsible for the release and I had indeed messed it up.

Sorry for the trouble! We really would like some assistance when we share pre-release binaries for review and testing :slight_smile: It is super important for release candidates, but even for normal releases it can help catch mistakes like this.

I guess I need to re-run the release. The source code tags will not change; but the generated binary will.

Here is the binary for review and testing: Artifacts of geoserver-release #153 : /distribution/2.25.4 [Jenkins]

I will check back tomorrow to hear if it is okay.

@skalesse are you able to test Artifacts of geoserver-release #153 : /distribution/2.25.4 [Jenkins] please?

I checked, as I did not hear from you, and have gone on to deploy the fixed binaries to source forge. You are credited on the acouncement page now, thanks for your feedback!

Hi @jive , sorry for the late response. Unfortunately I am still struggling with the new discourse forum (I was used to receive a few mails per days for only Geoserver / Geotools topics, but now I am getting tons of Mails for all sorts of topics).

Anyway, thanks for fixing the POM!! As we are pulling the artifacts using maven, we cannot really test until they are deployed to osgeo. But I can assure your that now everything is working greatly again. So thanks alot!

Best Regards
Sören
