Getting the releases out for our sub distributions such as Apache::Reload,Apache::SizeLimit,Apache::DBI has been a challenge. With our current release processes, we need twelve +1 votes (3 for core, 3 for AT/ASL/AR) to release a version of mod_perl with Apache::* changes, whereas most ASF projects may only need three +1 votes to release a new version. We need this exemption since those modules are under the ASF license.
We have enough feedback from httpd core during Apache::Test releases that I think we can still go with the standard release process. But this motion I propose to submit would exempt said modules from those official release process needs. Please vote! Text of proposed motion: 'The mod_perl PMC petitions the ASF board to exempt the Apache::Sizelimit, Apache::Reload, Apache::DBI, and Apache::Reload modules to skip over the normal release rules governing ASF project releases and be released directly to CPAN. With the large number of sub-projects the mod_perl project has spawned, the number of votes to do a major mod_perl release can reach 12, which is 4x as much as some other ASF projects. Apache::Test continues to have participation from httpd core members, and as such is consistently able to get enough votes for releases, and does not need this exemption.' --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@perl.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@perl.apache.org
