I've just decided to make myself release manager for the popular-components-formerly-known-as-cornerstone, given the fact no-one else seems to really want the job (but that's up for lazy consensus though). The plan (as always) is simple: I will periodically post release candidates @
http://cvs.apache.org/~leosimons/dist-candidates/avalon/
for review and comment. There is one up there now (RC1), that I'd like all users of these components to test. I would like you all to add all open issues, requests, bug reports, etc, relating to these components to this wiki page:
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?AvalonComponentsReleaseManagement
in addition to sending them to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.
Why the wiki? I hate working with bugzilla, and we don't have jira set up for cornerstone. The usual guidelines for bug reports/requests/etc apply (http://www.apache.org/dev/contributors.html) of course.
I would like to see everyone interested in helping out looking at that page, adding to it, and either committing fixes, or submitting patches, depending on cvs karma, of course. I am not actually planning to do a lot of coding on this stuff myself but I will try and apply all patches that are sent in.
I will cut another release candidate roughly every week or so until I have the idea that the components are ready for release (which might be as early as next week ;), at which point I will start the PMC voting process.
sounds like a plan? If you want or need a quality release of these components, now is your chance to help make it happen :D
best regards,
- Leo Simons
