Dennis, Do you have a list of critical bugs from 1.2? that needs to be fixed? All bugs i have seen so far have some sort of work around.
Rampart is not part of Axis2 codebase. There is nothing stopping rampart folks from shipping a mar for Axis2 1.2. thanks, dims On 5/15/07, Dennis Sosnoski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I think skipping 1.2.1 is a bad idea. So far each major Axis2 release has gone out with critical bugs found shortly after release. A 1.2.1 release will at least fix these critical bugs for 1.2 (hopefully without creating a bunch of new ones). Just moving to 1.3 from trunk, on the other hand, is likely to create at least as many new critical bugs as it fixes. We really need better quality control for Axis2 to achieve the level of use it deserves. When 1.3 does come out I'd hope it would be subject to more rigorous testing than what has gone before. I'd suggest that for this one we do a more realistic release progression, starting with a branch and a beta release from that branch, then moving on to a release candidate once we really think the code is solid - and holding at that release candidate for at least a couple of weeks of final testing before the official release. The Rampart process should follow the same path and same schedule. I'm starting to wonder if it even made sense to split Rampart out of the Axis2 codebase, since I don't think there's much point in doing an Axis2 release without a corresponding Rampart release. The current situation of having an Axis2 1.2 release with no corresponding Rampart release means that most enterprise users are stuck back at Axis2 1.1.1 (the working version of 1.1, and the last release for which WS-Security is available). - Dennis Davanum Srinivas wrote: > Glen, > Makes sense to me.
