Agenda
- Importer pull request status
- Catalog service graduation
- Bug fixing
Actions:
- AA: Sanity check on Importer API (are changes needed to add additional formats)
- Importer pull request status
Review of importer code, some hiccups that can be fixed later, Andrea indicate it is close to extension status (given previous QA in OpenGeo suite).
TODO:
- BLOCKER: headers ← need justin? … or any OpenGeo staff
- FIX: documentation? opengeo has UI docs, but nothing for REST, links to GeoExplorer etc…
Q: how far until RC?
A: 13 days … so it is going to be close!
Q: GeoSolutions Importer?
A: Had less functionality, but covers a few gaps (inner tiling and overviews, directory of GeoTIFFS). So expect a second pull request from Andrea with a merge (but after 2.5.0 since it only adds functionality).
Q: Will the above need API change?
A: Should not require many modifications … so expect it can be added to stable. May want a sanity check with Justin.
- Catalog service graduation
Many tickets, only a few bits of trouble.
- NPE following tutorial (tutorial fixed, code still vulnerable)
- http://jira.codehaus.org/issues/?jql=project%20=%20GEOS%20AND%20status%20=%20Open%20AND%20text%20~%20csw
- in general it is a bit fragile (layer rename, restart, etc…)
- recommend UI or REST API or respect the Reload button
Q: Is the Reload button realisitic for RC?
Q: Priority issues for graduation?
A: the following:
- BLOCKER: NPE - put a placeholder file in that results in an empty catalog?
- BLOCKER: Change/edit the mapping file without restart GeoServer (Reload button is the low bar)
Suggestions:
- prefix name into the mapped metadata (ie topp in topp:states)
Bug fixing
Bug fix spinrt:
- Closed 30+ tickets (around 10-15 actual fixes)
Q: Freeze? Actually everyone is adding features still … in order to make the release more exciting
Idea: Release candidate testing party?
- Priorities: Verifiy open bugs
- WFS-T over 3 MB? 9 years old, need set up test to verify
- test docs? CSS tutorial and CSS cookbook
