GeoServet 2.18.0 / GeoTools 24.0 Release roundup

Ian is doing the release (thanks Ian).

Anything for the release?

  • Be sure to thank folks who tested RC

GeoServer

  • Can we get the geoserver blog post migration done before this? Yes

  • Redirect blog.geosever.org? Nope (waiting on control of domain)

  • Adjusting release links to be relative for prior releases?

  • Yes, should we do as part of this as part of PR…

  • Torben can try this :slight_smile:

  • Update release instructions

  • Ian should do (taking notes when doing the release)

  • GeoServer index.html, show 3 most recent, can probably do this with some script thing

  • Torben to adapt, already there for the “blog” page showing 10 most recent posts

  • PR: https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pulls

GeoTools

GeoWebCache

  • No outstanding PRs

Build issues

See email list

  • Q: Repository related? Perhaps, or jenkins build related, …

  • Two jenkins jobs deploying at once causing an issue?

  • Jody has made a build group
    for “GeoTools” publishing to geotools-snapshots
    For “GeoServer” publishing to geoserver-snapshots (used by GWC also)

  • Repo.osgeo.org tasks

  • Snapshot cleanup: Changed from Hourly → Daily → Weekly (on Friday)

  • compact snapshot storage: weekly on Sunday

  • If problem occurs monday this is the cause

  • metadata-xml repair: manual when requested

  • We could schedule after compact snapshot storage

  • Can we improve testing / feedback cycle please

  • While Jody can adjust jenkins build and nexus snapshot handling, need more details when reporting failure

  • What jar, what time, check the repo yourself by hand, …

  • Jenkins almost never has problems

  • Any problems here tend to be java11 shared maven repo trouble

  • Travis fails often (testing PRs)

  • This is tricky, is it caching?

  • Travis does different JVM builds

  • GitHub workflows (for testing PRs)

  • Tends to focus on OS specific builds

  • Often these failures are windows or macos specific (so good testing)

  • macOS configuration is a bit strange to be a testing box

  • Random developers fail around the internet?

  • Please report what jar, what time, and browse, check the repository

  • Sphinx build failure on PR?

  • This is a hard fail now (warnings → errors), a recent wfs-template PR broke the documentation build

  • Q: Can travis / github workflows check this please?

  • Caused by: https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/4482

  • A: The Travis build did check this, the PR was merged with build failures

Chit Chat

OSGeo AGM

  • Done! Went, well, watch the video

Podcast:

  • Jody may be able to arrange a time (unless Ian already did?)

Clustering

  • Thank gabe for the clustering discussion!

  • Catalog microservice discussion

  • Easy to use all the database connections :slight_smile:

  • Catalog web interface, …

  • Stratus:

  • Caching had a significant improvement previously

  • Pre-caching did not have as much an improvement (and hard to maintain)

  • Quick look at request and “guess” what to request from the catalog ahead of time

  • Caching for duration of a single request

  • Hope caching mitigates catalog being so chatty

  • Close to doing real performance testing
