The build server is starting to be back online now, restoring community modules is not so much a priority (we have tests and making last months release as a higher priority). We are thinking days to weeks since this is an overhead no company specifically pays us for. So far planet federal has been beating the brunt of the expense, I hope to help out next week restoring the release process.
See notes here https://sourceforge.net/p/geoserver/mailman/geoserver-devel/thread/CAK_yckcH31uvOVngnKYcsQ%2BquiG%3DqZaAwwjCM_9LhOH72DrQRw%40mail.gmail.com/#msg36679517 I wonder if we should make a blog post... The community modules are RND experiments, or in some cases components companies support their customers to use. The source code is being hosted by the project for collaboration and to invite volunteers or funding. The GeoServer PSC asks these modules pass open source checks and meet testing, documentation and support requirements before we are willing to distribute. Is there a specific community module you care about? I can show you how to look up the developer (in the pom.xml and git commit history) and they may be available for a contract, or if there enough interest on this list folks may be able to gather enough resources and volunteers to take the module to extension status. Please understand the business function of including community modules in our community rather than having them scattered all over GitHub. In no case is the GeoServer PSC ready to recommend these modules - we simply have not been asked to check them yet. Some very good modules remain in community status as it is hard to justify sharing due to lack of community interest (volunteering and resources). This conversation with you may be a chance to fix that :) On Wed, May 29, 2019 at 00:43 Jason Cradit <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey all, > > First - i'm no developer, just an IT guy.
