[Smartfrog-developer] putting the release plan for 3.12.042 together

[Steve L. <ste...@hp...>]

Everyone,

I'm going to do a new release this week, 3.12.042, with the jira issue 
associated with it up
http://jira.smartfrog.org/jira/browse/SFOS-976

the last release before the OSGi support goes into trunk. Before it 
comes out, I want to get some recent changes to SmartFrog under control
1.  the eclipse constraints code and dependencies. The initial goal here 
will be to let everything but constraints work in a distribution even if 
you dont have the relevant constraint JARs/native libs, neither of which 
will be included in the release

2.  the changed jar signing design, 
http://jira.smartfrog.org/jira/browse/SFOS-879
This is tricky.  We're moving from having a separate signedLib of signed 
artifacts, to having everything signed in the lib/ dir, and a 
redistributed tar file containing a custom build.xml that can be used to 
cut your own RPMs, after signing the JARs yourself. There are some 
problems with RPM upgrades here in removing the signedLib dir.
