[VOTE] please review release candidate then vote

We need people to review the release candidate and to
test it on your projects, especially on different operating
systems and Java version. See testing hints below.

Download the release candidate and supporting files:
http://people.apache.org/~crossley/temp/forrest-09-rc1/

For Windows get *.zip (md5sum c04600e8befeaf005d5e4b9d6c8034f9)
For UNIX get *.tar.gz (md5sum ea58a078e3861d4dfc8bf3296a53a5f8)
Get the *.asc and *.md5 that match your chosen download.

Java 1.5 or later is required.

Testing and vote period concludes Monday 2011-02-07 at 22:00 UTC [2].
Anyone can test and vote, not just PMC members.
However only the PMC votes are binding [3].

When voting, quote the md5sum to ensure that we are all
using the correct final release candidate package. The votes
need to happen against the final source release package.

If we need to build another release candidate, due to
necessary changes to the code or documentation [1],
then we need to vote reagarding that package.

PMC members need to satisfy themselves that the actual
final release package meets the ASF principles.

During this week we do need to hear about both successes
and failures. Please report your operating system

Re: [VOTE] please review release candidate then vote

The basic tests are okay for me on an independent
up-to-date Mac.

The forrestbot on our zone server (Java 6)
shows that the changeover in trunk did well.
Also not any concern from Gump.

Many thanks Bryce, that is very helpful.

Hey the motivational quotes on your home page are great.

I wonder if you are the first to publish a site with 0.9

Thanks again.

It seems that we forgot to update our Jetty version and it's *really*
old.  It's not technically a blocker and we wouldn't recommend a
production deployment using our embedded Jetty anyway, but it's
embarrassingly old.  I don't know what's involved in updating it but
it shouldn't be that difficult.  Anyway, I could go either way on this
one.

Another thing is that the site-author docs include ApacheCon NA 2010
in them.  I'm thinking that might deserve a new rc?

Based on:

Tim-Williamss-MacBook-Pro:forrest-rc twilliams$ md5
apache-forrest-0.9.tar.gz && java -version
MD5 (apache-forrest-0.9.tar.gz) = ea58a078e3861d4dfc8bf3296a53a5f8
java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02-279-10M3065)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.3-b01-279, mixed mode)

Re: [VOTE] please review release candidate then vote

Would people please report their success and failures early.

You can vote at any time, and even change your vote,
or vote towards the end of the period, but at least
please tell us something early about the state of things.

If there are problems, then we need to fix them ASAP
and build another release candidate.

That banner on the left-hand navigation is included
by reference. So when the ASF Conferences people replace
it with the next event, then it will show the new banner.

Shucks, thanks David I didn't even look - it used to be specific to an
event.  Thanks for clearing it up:)

Do you have any thoughts on our such an old Jetty version?

Re: [VOTE] please review release candidate then vote

Using our rc1 and Apache Tomcat 6.0.30 on Mac with Java 1.5

]$ cd seed-basic-rc1
]$ forrest war
]$ cp build/my-project.war $CATALINA_HOME/webapps
]$ $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh

Yes, it works.

However, i am having trouble with the war from
"seed-sample" and from "site-author".

There are various things that we should have upgraded, e.g. Ant.

Yeah it would be great to have upgraded Jetty. I did try at various
stages, but cannot remember why i was not successful.

The old one works at the moment, good on it. If someone manages
to get it upgraded, and if we need a new RC for other reasons
then i reckon that we should include it. Otherwise IMO do a new
release for 0.10 soon after, to update various supporting products.
