Why haven't the patches been committed? They need a Release Manager
go ahead? I certainly wouldn't classify either problem as a BLOCKER.
They could be fixed in 1.1.x.
They haven't been committed to 1.1.1 because the release manager nixed
it. They'll be in 1.1.2 no matter what.
In any case, we clearly need to standardize our definition of blocker.
I think that quality issues can be blockers, and it sounds like you
don't. Which is OK, I guess we just need some way to decide what
we're willing to ship with, whether that's a vote or the decision of
the release manager or whatever. Probably more responses to this
thread would help.
Yes, I've noted a difference in our definitions for some time. Here
are some definitions from the Jira system --
http://issues.apache.org/jira/ShowConstantsHelp.jspa?decorator=popup#PriorityLevels
I find the Priority Level definitions to be reasonably close to my own.
I also would prefer we stick to the JIRA definitions of priority,
otherwise it will be too confusing.
Quality issues can be blockers, but your redeploy problems are not.
I'd put them as Major or Minor. By the Jira definitions, they are
Minor. Users have a pretty reasonable work-around (Redeploy fails,
Users can easily undeploy, then deploy).
I put some SECURITY issues in the BLOCKER category. If a user has
followed the rules and believes that he/she has properly secured some
resource and Geronimo permits unauthorized/unauthenticated access to
that resource, then that's a BLOCKER...
Agree.
There are some users who are waiting for the 1.1.1 release to fix bugs
they have run into in 1.1. Instead of making them wait longer, I would
prefer we aim to get 1.1.1 out with blockers fixed and no regressions or
compliance issues. Releasing often enables our user base to start using
our code (as they may have had been unable to do so in a previous
release due to issues they hit) and possibly get more up to date
feedback from the users for the next release.
These are only my views and it is the community that will decide.

Does this problem allow unauthorized/unauthenticated access to
secured resources? If not, then I wouldn't categorize it as a BLOCKER.

That certainly seems like a must-fix BLOCKER to me...

Even if it does still exist, doesn't seem like a BLOCKER.
