I haven't had a chance to get onto my dev machine yet today. Does the
new akka-sbt-plugin seem to work okay?

I haven't tested fully yet (with a clean .ivy2 and so on) but yes, a quick test looked fine. Nice work!

Hey Derek,

Tried with a clean .ivy2 - just missing one module configuration. The one for akka itself. I'll let you make the adjustments.

For anyone trying out the 1.1-M1 plugin, add this line to your project:

val akkaModuleConfig = ModuleConfiguration("se.scalablesolutions.akka", AkkaRepositories.Akka_Repository)

Ah, that makes sense. Does that interfere with finding Akka that is
published locally? If not then it can be added as a permanent change
to the akka-modules project config and picked up automatically. I'll
be home later today and I'll finally be able to get back on my dev
machine and I'll take a look.

Thanks for having a look!

Yes, it will. Previously we had this line commented out and automatically uncommented on release.

If you need to add something that's used by the release scripts, go for it.

Thanks, can you give an idea of the timeline for a release of 1.1?

Is this M1 meant to be one of a series of milestone releases like M2, M3 coming over the coming weeks? Or is it likely that we'd see a 1.1 release candidate as the next release?

Btw, it would be useful to have the date of each release on the release-notes page.

[Derek Williams]

I had a look at it. The simple solution is to add the line:
lazy val akkaModuleConfig =
ModuleConfiguration("se.scalablesolutions.akka", AkkaRepo)
to AkkaProject.scala in akka-modules, but keep it commented out unless
we are doing a release. Then it will be automatically added to
akka-sbt-plugin. This might cause problems during a release build if
Akka core is not yet been published to the repo.

Another solution is to automatically add it to akka-sbt-plugin when
the project version is not a snapshot.

What do you guys think?

1.1 is stable and ready/done. We will ship an RC as soon as Scala ships 2.9.0 final (and then the final a week after).

Btw, it would be useful to have the date of each release on the release-notes page.

Let's go for this. Akka will need to be published first, but that's fine.

If you comment it like this:

// release: lazy val akkaModuleConfig ...

it will be automatically uncommented.

We may publish snapshot versions so let's go for adding the module config.

[delasoul]

Hello,

is there a way to build akka 1.1 against scala 2.8.1?
Other libraries we use don't work with scala 2.9.1.RC0 yet:(

thanx in advance,

michael

Unfortunately not. Backporting is something we charge for.

Okay, commited the change, but I'm not able to properly test it as the
test-release scripts doesn't seem to be doing any replacements for me,
it just gives an 'sed' error. I'll have to look into it later, too
busy at the moment, but I think it might have to do with me running on
Linux and most of you are on OSX?

It may be easier to bring those libraries forward to 2.9. Which libraries do you depend on?

[Peter Vlugter]

Thanks, Derek. Yes, we're on OS X at the moment. I wrote the script with the idea that it would work across the two but didn't test it. The BSD sed may be slightly different for this usage. I'll check it out.

I tried it and it all seems to work well for the plugin. But the module config causes problems with resolving locally for the OSGi module. Maybe we should go for a system property - also makes it possible to publish snapshots from jenkins without using the release scripts. I can look at it later today.

[Bruce Mitchener]

I think he posted on the Squeryl list ... and Squeryl at least doesn't yet support Scala 2.9.  This is an issue for the company I work for as well.

We could just add the Akka repo as a normal repo and let sbt handle it. That shouldn't slow things down too much.

Or I can add the module configuration just to the akka-sbt-plugin.

I've just made a change so that it's an akka.release system property for signalling whether to add the module config. This is useful for snapshot releases which won't use the release scripts but a normal publish.

I think we've got it all covered now...

Great. If I get time I want to look into that issue with 'sed'. It
shouldn't be that different between Linux and OSX.

Thanks, much appreciated.

[delasoul]

Hello Peter,

I could build akka trunk with scala 2.8.1 - at least the projects I
need -
there is only one incompatibility one has to fix in code (an exception
extending from Serializable)
the rest are warnings and the build succeeds for akka-actor,
typedActor, remote, stm, slf4j.

so for the moment everything works..
