Because we should make a release of the code that's ready to go now :) I think it's fine to drop 1.6 support, but if it's going to involve more code changes, I don't think it should happen for 2.1. If it's just a matter of tweaking the compiler-plugin, that's fine. I hope to look at this all

No worries. I am very familiar with fixing goofed-up Maven projects. The warning is appreciated. Ralph Goers wrote: One thing to be wary of - Most, if not all, of the other Commons projects are not multi-module projects. I remember specifically having to do “interesting” things in the VFS pom

One thing to be wary of - Most, if not all, of the other Commons projects are not multi-module projects. I remember specifically having to do “interesting” things in the VFS pom to fix things that didn’t work correctly in commons-parent. I am sure over the course of time a lot of that has change

Thanks, Sebb and Ralph. I can dig through the parent poms. I wouldn't have initially realized that there was a "commons" parent pom. Thanks for pointing that out. sebb wrote: On 27 April 2016 at 05:58, Ralph Goers wrote: As I recall, I performed the VFS 2.0 release. I did use the Maven rele

Best as I can see, Benson was able to do the commons-io 2.5 release after someone else added his key to the KEYS file (because had some separate karma being applied to it which was not included in the universal-commit change). Consider this my formal volunteer offer to be RM for commons-vfs 2.

Hi, Agreed, VFS 2.1 has been too long in the making. We can release ASAP without fixing more bugs IMO. RERO and all. As an Apache committer, your are also an Apache Commons committer, so feel free to create JIRAs, fix bugs and so on. There might be some karma issues with a non-PMC member perform

Hi all, There are presently 171 resolved issues sitting in commons-vfs2 2.1-SNAPSHOT, with 4 outstanding (none of which look like blockers to me). The lack of any release of commons-vfs2 in years has been a big problem downstream. This past weekend, I was again annoyed by bugs that have been
