[cle-release-team] Need to Create a new Sakai Tag for DAV 2.8 and Tomcat 7 Changes

[Mike Jennings]

Matthew,

You are correct, the dav change is a change to the pom files along with 
a change to the dav-server/src/java/org/sakaiproject/dav/DavRealm.java 
as well.  You also change the master.pom file so that the correct 
version of tomcat is stated

<sakai.tomcat.version>7.0.29</sakai.tomcat.version>

My thoughts were to create a dav branch called something like 
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/dav/branches/sakai-2.8.X-tc7
which would be a copy of the sakai-2.8.x branch with the necessary pom 
and DavRealm changes made.

I will then write up some quick documentation that tells a user to just 
change the svn:externals from

dav https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/dav/tags/sakai-2.8.1

to

dav https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/dav/branches/sakai-2.8.X-tc7

along with the master.pom change for the sakai.tomcat.version and then 
rebuild and deploy the project....

Thoughts?

Mike
