[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
and Java versions and Jetty/Tomcat versions.

So we have approximately 6 days.

Here are some hints for actual testing:

* Verify the release, especially if you are a committer.
Follow: http://forrest.apache.org/mirrors.cgi#verify
* Ensure that the compressed archive will unpack properly.
* Follow the README.txt and index.html
* Set $FORREST_HOME and $PATH appropriately.
* Try it with different Java versions.
* Try it with different versions of Apache Tomcat or Jetty.
* Many known issues are already recorded at our Jira.
* Don't worry too much about minor bugs. We are looking
for blockers, such as it will not run.
* Please add other discovered issues to Jira.

* Make a fresh site ...
cd my-new-dir
forrest seed-sample
forrest run ... use the local jetty server.
forrest ... build the whole site from the command-line.
forrest war ... use your own full Jetty or Tomcat.

* Try it on the Forrest core docs ...
cd site-author
forrest run
forrest

* Forrest was already pre-built. Try building it again.
cd main
build clean
build
build test-sample

* Try it on your own project, especially if you have
a project sitemap and use some extra plugins.

* If you are a user of forrestbot then try that.

* Try building and installing the forrestbar.

Re: [VOTE] please review release candidate then vote [In reply to]

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:

Re: [VOTE] please review release candidate then vote [In reply to]

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 [In reply to]

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.

Launching Jetty is done differently in current versions. Our
configuration file would also need to be redone. I'm working on this
now.

Re: [VOTE] please review release candidate then vote [In reply to]

Lots of people still embed antique copies of Jetty. They have this
annoying tendency to just work.

As seen with http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1066728 and 1066729
we had made a tiny mistake with the trademark footer.
IMO it would not cause another RC.

Anyway, if we do want to then it is fixed now.

The "seed-sample" gives this in webapps/my-project/WEB-INF/logs/error.log
ERROR (2011-02-03) 22:03.00:895 [access] (/my-project/index.html) http-8080-1/CocoonServlet: Internal Cocoon Problem
org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Failed to process pipeline
at [TransformerException] - file:///path/to/apache-tomcat-6.0.30/webapps/my-project/skins/pelt/xslt/html/site-to-xhtml.xsl:61:61

i.e. $FORREST_HOME/main/webapp/skins/pelt/xslt/html/site-to-xhtml.xsl

Does someone else also get that on Java 1.5
Any clues?

-------------------
On a different Mac with Java 6:

The "seed-sample" war works okay. Hooray.

However, the "site-author" war does not work.

The reason is that it cannot find the project locationmap
and even if it did there would be no content.

It seems that the packing up of the WAR file does not like
the layout of our "site-author" space. In its forrest.properties
we configure "project.content-dir=." and it seems that anything
using that property does not get packed into the war file,
e.g.
project.xdocs-dir=${project.content-dir}/content/xdocs
project.skinconf=${project.content-dir}/skinconf.xml
and content/locationmap.xml
... none of those get packed into the war file and so
are not available at runtime.

Moving that stuff into a sub-directory, and setting the
property "project.content-dir" does fix the problem.

Getting the configuration tuned with a similar level of stability to
the packaged 4.x version will take more time than I have for this. I'd
like to integrate this upgrade along with other products right after
release, unless someone else has time for this.
