[Geoserver-devel] reports from the sprint

Hi all,

Thought I would send a quick update on what we have been doing over the
weekend. As many of you know the folks at opengeo met up in NY for
general meetings last week, with a sprint this past weekend.

Basically we decided that having everyone in the same room, it would be
good to focus on clean up tasks. The biggest on the list: porting all
service code to the new catalog and configuration apis. So that is what
we did.

We tried to use jira as best we could to track the biggest chunks of
work. Here is the root issue:

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2649

And I am happy to report we are back to a working build! We also ran the full cite test suite (perhaps not wms) and things looked good.

As Ben just pointed out the web module has been ported to a "legacy" module on trunk. My next task is to get that running the same way it used to. And then i plan to update the developer documentation. Sorry for those inconvenienced by any changes.

Just to report some more changes, the old web UI is working again
in "read only mode" but we did not find any good way to make it work
write wise without spending a big amount of time on it, it's just
using too much of the old (and now un-hooked) configuration API
when trying to write.

So this basically means we have, at the moment, no good UI to
change the GeoServer configuration on trunk.
I hope this is not too much of an inconvenience for the complex
feature people, afaik you had no GUI driven way to configure you
data stores anyways no?

I'm hoping to get the new UI in a usable shape "soon", thought I cannot
make promises on what that "soon" means (one/two weeks I hope, maybe
cutting some corners as polish is concerned to have back a UI that
people can use).

Cheers
Andrea
