@Emil Kantis do you want to try kicking off a build for M5? Or is the updated release process blocked on me for something ?

[Emil Kantis]

Ill give it a go

[sam]

sweet

[sam]

there's a couple of PRs building atm we might wanna wait for

[Emil Kantis]

wanna get the compiler plugin deletion in before we go? or can that hold until rc1?

[sam]

guess it doesn't matter since it's just removing things

We can just cancel the deployment/release after checking that everything gets into maven central fine, if you wanna get the last stuff in

[Emil Kantis]

I just wanna check that it seems to be working fine before I call it a night

[Emil Kantis]

Central is complaining about kotlin dependencies not having explicit versions

{
  "pkg:maven/io.kotest/kotest-property-permutations@6.0.0.M5": [
    "Dependency version information is missing for dependency: org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect"
  ],
  "pkg:maven/io.kotest/kotest-assertions-core@6.0.0.M5": [
    "Dependency version information is missing for dependency: org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect"
  ],
  "pkg:maven/io.kotest/kotest-assertions-shared@6.0.0.M5": [
    "Dependency version information is missing for dependency: org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect"
  ],
  "pkg:maven/io.kotest/kotest-framework-engine@6.0.0.M5": [
    "Dependency version information is missing for dependency: org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test-common",
    "Dependency version information is missing for dependency: org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test-annotations-common",
    "Dependency version information is missing for dependency: org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect"
  ],
  "pkg:maven/io.kotest/kotest-common@6.0.0.M5": [
    "Dependency version information is missing for dependency: org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect"
  ]
}

I've never used the new process before
