Considering that we already don't support 1.0, it's clear that 2.0 will not provide any backward support ;-) > >>> Keep in mind that we release sources !

Ok, let me be a bit clearer : we should absolutely focus on sources, but we *can* provide binaries ! Actually, this is what we do. The way to do it is to have special Maven prodiles to build all the packages you want. > >>> I can definitively give a hand, as I have been releasing most of the other >>> projects for years now... > This really sounds great to me.

The problem is that we already have existing version for Kerberos : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRKRB/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:versions-panel Which is a bit strange considering we never ever released any Kerberos code ! I think it's related to the ApacheDS releases. I will remove those versions. I think we need a 1.0.0-RC1, a 1.0.0-GA (for the final version), and a 2.0.0 version for future changes. Is that fine ? > I would help sort out all the issues in the question for us to discuss and > determine further.

Atm, what I'd like to have is a release on one of the core Kerby component : ASN.1. We can use that as an exercise, and I'd like to use it in ApacheDS, as a separate module. Wdyt ?
