We were planning (hoping) to branch the 2.2 release this Friday
(1/9) with a release candidate the following week (1/16). It's now
looking like that is far from happening. We still have a number of
tck issues to resolve and dependencies on other projects that first
must be released.
As I see it, these are the major issues that must be resolved (see http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxPMGT/geronimo-22-release-status.html
for a complete list):
1. Axis2 1.5 (and dependencies) must be released. - Jarek
2. CXF 2.1.4 must be released. - Jarek
3. xBean 3.5 must be released. - Anybody (Joe will cover if necessary)
4. geronimo-jaspi and jaspi spec must be released or removed - David
J.
5. ActiveMQ 5.3 must be released (after tck issues are resolved)
David J.
6. OpenEJB 3.1.1 must be released (after tck issues are resolved)
David B.
7. selenium-maven-plugin 1.0 must be released (or we live with the
FF3 issues and revert). Jason D.
8. All tck issues must be resolved and we hope to certify using 1.6
Jason W. coordinating this.
Those are the major issues as I see it. There are other functions
still being worked (such as custom assemblies, plugin profiles, doc,
samples, gshell enhancements and possible release, Genesis possible
release, taglibs jstl possible release, etc...) ... but I think the
issues listed above are the show stoppers and the long pole items
that will dictate the schedule.
So the question is this: Do we think that we can resolve these
issues and deliver a release candidate yet this month? I think we
would need to branch no later than 1/23 to make this happen - just a
little over 2.5 weeks. We would need all dependencies released and
all tck issues resolved by then to make it happen. Do you think
this is feasible?
Given the length of the list and current TCK status (tck progress will
need to precede some of those releases), I'd say that it's doubtful...
But would maintain it's a good goal.
