+1 to Sanjiva's comment. I hope we don't want to make the life harder for the people who are working hard for the release, by an effort to make the life easier (is it?) to the rest. Merging is, at least theorotically, a great idea and a concept. But when conflicts are coming, practically its a nightmare. And as Bill suggested, we can *not* do quick releases after minor fixes. The release process of Axis2 is becoming problematic due to the dependencies to other projects. So you can not decide at one point, at least now, and release an Axis2 version. Simple example for you to understand is releasing Axis2 with SNAPSHOTs. Hope everyone who involved during past releases can remember the pain we had when once we released Axis2 with a SNAPSHOT. Please understand that I'm not opposing Bill's idea. But I know the pain we are/were going thru whenever we are/were releasing. -- Chinthaka > > Sanjiva. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
