I would be happy to help. And perhaps in return the coverage experts can look into an outstanding issue we have with the wcs 1.1 cite tests. The issue being that they only work if we force geotiff as the only output format, which for that test suite (unlike the wcs 1.0 one) is not settable in the test setup. We more or less have to hack the config files to only allow the one supported output format.

One idea Justin and I kicked around was to make the db-backed catalog the default (using h2), so as to get better testing on it. Not sure if it’s ready for that level of testing, but I think it could be a nice way to make it more solid as a lot more people than normal would test it.

We could do it for the betas, then switch back to the old way for the release candidates and final release.

Ciao Chris,
I am not _so_ in favour of this idea since it will make the betas
relatively unusable
if you plan to publish many layer, which covers all the use cases that
we have :slight_smile:

I am not sure about this but we could prepare separate/accompanying
releases to test the dbconfig.

Simone.

I don't like this idea, unless we plan to release the final with the H2 catalog
by default (that would require another gsip and so on).

Wouldn't it be possible to make that a plugin so that interested people can
try it out instead and leave betas for what they are meant for, that is,
test what will eventually become the stable.
Testing a community module, even if of great importance, should not be
part of the base release.
But I would be +1 on having the artifact be built, and included in the
announcement so that everyone interested can check it out.

You could also just make it part of the nightly build and blog about it
so that everybody can download nightlies and play with it.
Since you're still heavy developing it it would be the best way to keep
on providing people testing it out with the latest evolutions, check
out bug fixes and so on. No?

Cheers
Andrea
