Re: GWT-SL 1.5 released

Hi Thomas

I follow you on twitter so I'm used to your way of communicating - no offence taken. That having said, the project always welcomes contributions be it patches or administrative support.

Dear all,

It has been quiet for a while, but we're back with news:

• The project repository moved to github: https://github.com/ggeorgovassilis/gwt-sl
• Updated dependencies to GWT 2.6 and Spring 3.2
• There is a maven repository hosted on github now:

<repositories>      <repository>          <id>gwt-sl-mvn-repo</id>          <url>https://raw.github.com/ggeorgovassilis/gwt-sl/mvn-repo/</url>

GitHub really should forbid serving binaries that way.

The way Maven handles repositories, you're basically mounting a DDoS against GitHub; this does not good to anyone.

You're also forcing everyone who wants to contribute to your repo to download all of your binaries because of the way Git (and DVCS in general) work (oh sure you can tell Git to only clone one single branch and then whitelist the branches you want to synchronize, but who would want to do that?!)

and use it like this:

<dependency>      <groupId>net.sf.gwt-widget</groupId>      <artifactId>gwt-sl</artifactId>      <version>1.5</version>  </dependency>

There are still not any plans for moving the maven repository to maven central, but the git hosted repository should get most of you going.

Deploy to Central or JCenter/BinTray; or possibly "host" your repo on GitHub Pages, but please don't deteriorate the service many of us rely on just because you're lazy (it's a one-time setup, probably even easier to setup than deploying into a branch of your Git repo!)

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but this madness has to stop!
