Hi,

Thanks for the clarification.

I'm not sure, if that can be done in such a short time. Even Anatole at
Tamaya has not used certain Maven release plugins or processes before. I
can't remember if Reza ever did or also went a more manual, time-intensive
way when doing the occasional releases of DeviceMap data or classifier.

The classifier similar to both .NET clients (there it's much easier because
.NET has a built-in configuration API and a properties like file App.config
even in the binary distro) has this default URL built in:
"http://devicemap-vm.apache.org/data/latest";;

Even if you ignore the snapshot one (the latest clients will simply fail
because it doesn't exist any more) I assume the VM will be destroyed upon
archivation of the project. While e.g.
http://lenya.apache.org/

suggest, the main project page with a banner saying "it's archived" would
remain for every top level project even the archived ones.

URL loader only works for "exploded" JARs, so it won't work for a remote
JAR on a Maven repository.
Adding that especially to the .NET clients IMHO is a too big task for an
"emergency release".

Are there options to publish at least the latest "exploded" data folder
somewhere in a safe and compliant way?
That's what the URL in all these cases requires if you don't override it
(for .NET I think there is only the default, one has to tweak the config
file before running it, but that file is in the Console, not Client, so the
.NET ones are far better written than what Reza did with Java I'm afraid;-|

The latter, I was planning to send my effective resignation on Monday the 22nd.

If you want to prepare such a release in the next few days we still
have 3 PMC members to vote on it.
