I’ve tested the bin with several previews, GUI editing, tile caching, everything seems in order. Moving on with the release.

Hello @aaime-geosolutions

It seems that there is no docker image on the OSGeo repository for this release. Is it possible to solve it?

Regards

Alexandre

That should have happened automatically, but I’ve tried to start a 2.28.1 specific build and it succeeded so… do you want to try again?

Cheers

I see it listed on Sonatype Nexus Repository so it should be good. I will try to pull it again.

To follow up on this - I worked on the docker build during the foss4g sprint as it was taking a long time to download the war for both the normal tag and the gdal tag.

The first attempt did not work, using wget -c to continue works fine locally, and the first time on the build server. For subsequent SNAPSHOT builds the zip download may be bigger (downloaded) or smaller (ignored) resulting in an invalid zip file (lol obvious in hindsight).

The result only started working properly a couple days ago, the result is downloading the distribution and then having docker stage the file if present, and only use wget if required.

The README is updated with instructions, and the scripts download.sh and release.sh capture the process in version control for local testing (rather than in the build server job as was done previously).
