Hi guys,
we have had many mails exchanged, many convo at ApacheCon EU this month,
about which is the best versionning scheme for ADS. Strange enough,
after a first burst of idea, things just cool down a little bit.
We now have to make a decision, though this vote.
Lately, there was some kind of agreement about this scheme :
- X.0 versions will be stable versions (like 1.0.2)
- X.5 versions will be transitonal versions, which means some more
featurzes can be included (like 1.5.1)
- (X+1).0 version will be the next stable version (like 2.0.1)
- When (X+1) version is issued, then the X version will be terminated
(no more evolution, only important bug fixes)
- X.0 and X.5 version might be tested against VSLDAP compliance, if needed
- Data migration between X.0 and (X+1).0 should be automated, when data
migration between X.0 and X.5 might not be done with a tool.
- But when migrating for X.5 to (X+1).0, then a tool *must* be included
to guarantee data migration.
Ok, the vote now:
[ ] +1 : This numbering scheme fits me
[ ] +/- 0 : I have no idea, or I don't share this idea, but better this
one than no scheme
[ ] -1 : Not a good idea.
Please, feel free to comment your choice, because we will have to give
an explaination to our users !
Thanks a lot !
Emmanuel
