Re: [epsilon-dev] OSS Sonatype governance
Hi,

This would be very useful when developing non-Eclipse/tycho-maven based applications.

The only issue I can foresee relates to the usage of 3rd party dependencies. For the EpsilonLabs based projects we usually manually convert any 3rd party jars into plugin projects and eventually go through the approval process to have them included as drops in the Orbit P2 repositories. Obviously when deploying to Sonatype we should not be republishing these jars.

I believe the solution to this is to only publish our own jars and have the user manually resolve any 3rd party dependencies (i.e. adding the official dependency in their pom.xml).

Antonio I've been told that you are responsible for managing the OSS releases. Could you advise on how best to proceed? Or not to proceed if there's some issues me and Horatio have not account for?

Thanks

Hello all,

We use OSS to deploy our SNAPSHOTS and to distribute our releases (OSS can deploy to maven central for us).

Currently, if not mistaken, only Dimitris and Antonio have permission to deploy projects to OSS. In past days Jon Co was interested in releasing one of his epsilon labs projects so it would be publicly available not only through the Epsilon Lands update site but also via maven central.

I think that it will be good to distribute the governance of the OSS space with all the Epsilon committers. That way, they will be able to use OSS to deploy their Epsilon Labs projects as well as helping out during a major release phase. 

For this I would suggest that for future committers, once accepted as en Eclipse committer, they should open a Jira ticket in OSS to request access. OSS has a lightweight approach to authorisation so after a few of us are there anyone could validate the request.


Cheers,
