Thread: v604 in Maven

v604 in Maven

From

I use Maven for a lot of my Java development and noticed that version
604 isn't in the repos, only 603.  Is there a reason for that?  Would
be nice to have the latest version pushed out to the central Maven
repos.

Thanks!

I have no idea who uploaded the other versions, but it seems pretty
random.  I'm not a real maven believer myself, so it's difficult to gauge
the benefit.  How many other people really care about the maven repo?

*shrug* enough people seem to use it that every single version of
every library I use in my development is there.  Of the ones that
aren't kept up to date, I've only found one, OScache - that one's a
version behind, too.

I think we are a lot of people using Maven and PostgreSQL for our
in-house projects. And I know Open Source projects which are mavenized
and are using the "old" version of the driver too.

It would be nice to have the new version in the repository.

I think most people don't mention it because 8.3-603 is good enough
and they don't have any problem with it.
