Release 10.1/2.4.1
------------------

Q: Is this the first release on new build server?
A: No 2.4.0 was released by Justin on new build server.

Q: GeoWebCache?
A: Use 1.5.0-beta release?
   Upgrade to 1.5.0 final? What changes are there?

Schedule:
- Wednesday GeoTools
- Thursday GeoServer
- Anouncement Friday 18th as per scehdule

CITE breakage
-------------

Q: Held up CITE breakage?
A: Seem it has not been run in 26 days, perhaps not configured correctly
2.4-cite-all triggers the other builds, but it does not have a build trigger itself -> How to fix? Once a day, or triggered by the nightly build maybe?

Shape "ng" and Tutorials
------------------------

Something is up, details pending bug report from user list?
https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4595
(will have a look next weekend)

Q: Can tutorials be run as a unit test?
A: Perhaps we can run a regression test, ie pipe the output to a string and check against expected output?

OSGeo Update
------------

There ia board meeting Friday?

Q: Anything for the GeoTools?
A: Nope ...

Q: Anything for GeoServer?
A: Nope ...

Related questions from mailing list:
- collaboration of companies. Yep - sign as normal.
- use in thesis - normal LGPL use have fun

FOSS4G followup

As far as I know there were no changes between 1.5-beta and 1.5.0, although
Kevin can confirm. Regardless I would think that 2.4.x should change 1.5.0
or 1.5-SNAPSHOT.

Both are master and 2.4.x now using gwc 1.5.0; I am comfortable with having a snapshot dependency on master, but I would like to avoid it on stable.

Kind regards,
Ben.

Justin,

another issue that came up at Monday's meeting is the CITE test breakage and lack of triggers for the jobs. I have been kicking them manually but still encountering some failures (looks like a Jenkins problem not a config). Also do you have any opinion about the best approach for triggering (see below)?

Kind regards,
Ben.

Agreed, I would say hold off moving to a snapshot until it is necessary to
do so due to active development of gwc and geoserver that needs to happen
in conjunction.

Kind regards,
Ben.

Yeah, I noticed the cite jobs are failing, my guess is that i didn’t set up the new server properly. It is on my list to look into. I’ll try to do that soon in the next few days.

As for the job trigger, i would say a simple nightly trigger should do?

Agreed. We had a bad time with Gabriel and Kevin away, but with their active engagement we should be able to address any integration problems that arise from master depending on a GWC SNAPSHOT.

Kind regards,

That would be great! CITE failures are blocking the release train; I hope to release GT 10.1 on Wednesday (my tomorrow, your day after tomorrow) and GS 2.4.1 on Thursday, with announcements on Friday as scheduled.

Yes, please! release manager can always kick as required. A regular nightly trigger will keep us honest. :slight_smile:

Well folks are also encouraged to run the tests locally as well. All it
takes is cloning this repo:

  https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver-cite-tools

And following the instructions in the readme.

I am seeing some issues on the build server with the wfs-1.1 tests... they
seem to be hanging at the end of the test run. Will try to dig deeper
tomorrow.

Triggers set.
