[Geotools-devel] GT_2_0_B1 available for checkout, need help from Module Maintainers

[Chris H. <ch...@op...>]

So I've spent the past day and a half working with James to get a checkout 
with the GT_2_0_B1 tag to build, and I think I've got it pretty much 
working, at least on my machine.  There were quite a few tweeks to be 
done, most related to our reusing the old tag, as files removed from 
cvs still pop up in the check out.  I've fixed enough to get things 
compiling and building, but there's 
more to be done, so I have a few requests from the module maintainers.

1. Checkout (cvs co -r GT_2_0_B1) the release and see if it builds on your 
machine.  If your module has any problems try to fix them and move the tag 
forward (cvs tag -F GT_2_0_B1) to the latest version.

2. Compile with deprecation on, both the source and the tests.  There are 
still some uses of Map, and some old jts uses.  I don't have the time to 
go through and check everything, so if your module doesn't get cleaned up 
it'll go out with deprecated stuff, which isn't ideal.  And I would very 
much like to be able to remove the deprecated classes and methods from 
core/defaultcore, but I can't if it's going to break people's modules.

3. Check to make sure that there aren't files in your module that 
shouldn't be there.  This is primarily a problem with modules that were 
around for the first attempt at tagging a release, as files that were 
removed since then but were tagged show up in the checkout.  I took care 
of a number of these - cts, gcs, shapefile, gml, at least well enough to 
compile.  But there are probably files sitting around many of the old 
modules that aren't hurting anything but that aren't really supposed to be 
there.  I don't know all the modules well enough, so please take care of 
this in the modules you are responsible for.  The command to get rid of 
the tag is 'cvs tag -d GT_2_0_B1', specifying the filename to remove.  
These files will just show up when you do a checkout with the tag.  One 
little way I found to check for files that shouldn't be there is 
'diff -r  ~/gt2b1/geotools2/geotools-src/postgis 
~/geotools2/geotools-src/postgis | grep Only', where the first is where 
the release tag is at, and the second where your up to date head is.
