Probably the first thing to try is to see if Redback 1.3 is suitable to drop in. Trunk is currently looking at 1.3-M2-SNAPSHOT, so it needs to be updated. There may be some incompatible changes (and certainly 1.4 is far more significant). If that becomes a problem, the other option is to release off the 1.3-Mx branch with the required changes. > - database update scripts for 1.3.x to 1.4.x ( I may have those in my > archive from when I did my upgrades to 1.4.x) I'm sure that this just works automatically - I did it on a few occasions. > > I would very much prefer getting my clients up to the 1.4.x branch than > converting them off the apache stack to mercurial/hudson. > > So... how do I get started? Once the redback snapshot is sorted out and any fixes you're willing to integrate are in, it should be ready to go. The other thing people can do to help is identifying JIRA issues that either can or should be fixed (whether in this or a subsequent point release), and if possible helping with that. > Got some docs for me to read on how to push a > release? That's something I can work with you on - http://continuum.apache.org/development/release.html Most of that is straightforward - the main work there is in testing and doing things like release notes. - Brett -- Brett Porter br...@apache.org http://brettporter.wordpress.com/
