You said that you have run Tomcat on top of Harmony. Why can't you
produce a release such that I can throw the Tomcat jar at it, too?
Sure, it is a developer release, but it let's non-Harmony folks play
with your project.
i'd like to give harmony a spin as well :-)
Go for it. We're really interested in people's feedback.
Is there a specific problem with producing a developer release?
releases come in many forms :-)
it's usual to think of an easy-to-use ready-to-run binary aimed at end
users called something like httpd-2.0.59. i agree that harmony isn't
ready for something like that nor would the effort of producing
something like that be at all worthwhile.
but at an essential level, all that's require is to vote, tag the
source and create a tarball of the tagged source.
harmony already does something similar for daily snapshots. IMHO the
next step would be to start cutting milestones each week or two so
they can be picked up with a little more certainty than the daily
snapshots. perhaps name them after the week they were cut
(harmony-M3406, say).
i think harmony is more than ready to take this step.
I think that the core issue is "can the community govern itself in an
Apache manner", which is the core driver behind the "do a release"
suggestion. I'm guessing that the "do a release" suggestion is simply a
mechanism for PMC members to get information on which to make a decision.
Will you (and others that have questions) be satisfied if other mentors
provide similar assessments as I have as to community status and ability
to self-govern?
