Yes, thanks.


Now, if the common package versioning is well automated as part of generating a new release, then it is probably ok to have a new version being generated for every release.

Are you thinking that we would always see 'org.apache.derby.common' in the source tree and that the common pkg version suffix would only be added when a (new) release gets generated?

Well, this is a good question, if you're asking about what should the package name be in the trunk. Yes, I suppose it could just be 'org.apache.derby.common' and the rename happens only when a branch is made for a release. I am trying to think if this would cause any issues for people pulling the nightly builds -- I can't think of any, unless people try to mix versions from old and new nightly builds, in which case I think they're really on their own :)

An alternate approach is to do the rename on the trunk just prior to making the branch, so the trunk package name always matches the most recent release branch. But this doesn't seem as clean...
