[Geoserver-devel] reminder: 2.6-beta preflight testing issues

[Jukka_Rahkonen]

Hi,

Add to the list the problem with installing from “Platform Independent Binary” on Windows. There are 2 issues:

• installation into Program Files does not work → document it for the users

• batch file tries to find jre from JAVA_HOME environment variable but it is usually not set and startup fails → document that users must explicitly set JAVA_HOME by editing startup.bat or consider better using automatic jre recognition, see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.geoserver.devel/26609

A quick pass through email resulted in the following:

• GEOS-6408 Building the PDF Docs fails

• GEOS-6610 - Javadoc Download lacks CSS

• GEOS-6611 html docs download index and license files

• GEOS-6612 - Bin download ReadMe files out of data for java 7

• GEOS-6613 - Layer Preview format selector does not work on Safari

• GEOS-6602 Windows installer does not work on Windows 7

• GEOS-6588 GeoServer.app fails to start due to switch to Java 7

I thought some progress had been made on the use of OL3 …

• GEOS-5748 Update OpenLayers to most recent stable version

Website: A reminder that we no longer need to upload the src archive, and it no longer linked to from the release_26 template. I set up templates for release_25 and release_26 allowing us to maintain links to previous source forge source downloads.
