Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] : Re: Pushing RCx or Mx to maven central
|
If the purpose of the Release Candidate or Milestone driver is to enable
the certification of a compatible implementation of the spec so that you
can release your spec, then the Release Candidate or Milestone driver
really needs to be available from a permanent location like maven, not a
temporary staging repo. It isn't acceptable to be telling potential
compatible implementations to produce alpha or beta releases of their own
product based upon an artifact from a temporary staging location that will
disappear. Given that we are asking these products to provide compatible
implementations of our specification for our own benefit (verifying that
our specs are ready for final release), we owe it to them to provide
Release Candidate or Milestone artifacts that are product-ready and
product-worthy to be picked up and consumed by their users. This includes
the artifacts remaining available and not going away.

The main purpose of Nexus Staging Repo is internal within the
Jakarta organization and it is mainly testing purposes in the Q/A team,
and so the staging repo is temporal and has only a time limited life

If we make a decision regarding the staging repos, we would have problems
with the arguments that these repos have been deleted at some time.
Additionally, the names of staging repos are not general per Spec. They
are not named like "BVAL". Their name has a postfix number been
automatically generated by the staging server, e.g.
BVAL-236289, BVAL-04832662 etc, and the list of staging repos in the
server would be large and totally messy for the customer in order to
understand which one should be picked up and which one is related to Git
commit or Jira ticket.

Some of these RC/M spec project builds may depend on final builds of
other spec projects. Final build of the spec project cannot be published
to maven central (or basically anywhere from where it cannot be
immediately deleted should the request for it come) with out prior
approvals from EF (release review process) and spec committee (ballot).
What is the point of pushing knwown-to-be broken for some undefined
period of time broken RC/M builds to maven central?
Should anyone have a need to use artifacts from the staging repo in his
project, adding the staging repo to his pom is relatively easy to find
and simple thing to do.
