[Geoserver-devel] 2.17-RC available for testing

jive · March 13, 2020, 7:25am

Please test out
https://build.geoserver.org/view/release/job/geoserver-release/271/artifact/distribution/2.17-RC

And report back, I have made extensive changes to the extensions (including license files) and docs (producing with maven assembly rather than zip).

As such this is both a good use on an RC and an invitation to test with a bit more caution then usual.

Testing, with a bit more caution than usual

geoserver-2.17-RC-bin.zip

VERSION.txt - looks correct
RUNNING.txt - correctly updated with openjdk and adoptopenjdk
README.txt - generic but correct
NOTICE.md - has the summary of all the license stuff
GPL.md - GPL license (I do not see any of the other licenses)
modules/ - JETTY specific configuration, I suspect RUNNING.txt could mention this
resources/log4j.properties - not sure if this is needed
bin/start.sh - worked fine
application runs fine, no issues with desk testing
server status / modules - not a lot of information here
sever status / system status - working fine, amused to see fan speeds
tools - page loads at all
bin/shutdown.sh - worked fine

geoserver-2.17-RC-htmldoc.zip

unpacks into geoserver-2.17-RC-htmldoc folder now (hopefully fine)
readme - describes api, user, developer (perhaps this should be html file)
api - is missing
user - content is fine, has “GeoServer 2.17-RC User Manual” in header and page title
developer - content is fine
CC Attribution license missing
confirmed in logs: build_release.sh zipped the logs, did not find the assembly

geoserver-2.17-RC-javadoc

NOTICE.md, GPL.md included
contents are fine

geoserver-2.17-RC-war

NOTICE.md, GPL.md, VERSION.txt included

I have created a draft announcement, using a different approach than normal. Since this is a release candidate I have strictly focused on a call for testing, promising a details on new features when the 2.17.0 release is made.

Here is a snippet:

This is a GeoServer release candidate made in conjunction with GeoTools 23-RC and GeoWebCache 1.17-RC.

Release candidates are a community building exercise and are not intended for production use.
We ask the community (everyone: individuals, service providers, organizations) to download and thoroughly test this release and report back.
Participating in testing release candidates is a key expectation of our open source social contract. We make an effort to thank each person who tests in our release announcement and project presentations!

···

I would like review (please) and ideas for testing priorities:

Test with your own data
Test download bundles work (I know my own tests are in a prior email)
Test MBStyle since it has had so much work done
4, Security tab for workspaces, layers and layergroups

Any other priorities for testing? Checking recent proposals has a lot of content.

Hi Jody,

I’m strongly against this approach, people may test it if they see something new they are interested into,
we cannot give them priorities, they are not there to help us, never have been so far at least,
best we can hope is that they have their own self interest is matching ours.

Please, let’s go back to the usual approach, full announcement with pictures. The focus on just trying
an upgrade is also a good one, can we put it in a prominent place? Like both top and bottom of the message?

Cheers
Andrea

I would like to emphasis the help approach as the goal is to communicate that “they” are “us”

Still if the pictures and feature description is important to you it will be some more hours before I can release.

Yes, that is indeed mentioned in our release guide also

I will start on the geotools blog post and we can announce everything Monday.

I think we should delay the actual release a bit for testing and fixing (there are some packaging things notes I wish to fix)

I also notes the download pages were missing some extensions (nightly had authkey but 2.15 and 2.16 did not. I also broke out security and cartography subheadings on

Ian this is the testing results mentioned yesterday.

build_release.sh failed to find the assembly (and used its fallback plan for older branches which does not include api folder)
Several extensions to fix, notably geoserver-2.17-RC-control-flow-plugin.zip
Deployed gs-web-app.jar is too big due to build order and failure to filter
