Hi Mark,
I have a question, what conditions should java6 satisfy so that we can
release it?
We'll follow the same process as we do for java5/trunk.
All the tests passed? :)
That would be nice, but we don't hold the java5 releases to that
standard so I see no reason to apply it to java6.
Agreed - I think getting the M1 for java6 into a position where we can
agree that the failing tests are not blockers for release is really what
we're aiming for. I've just had a look in JIRA at the bugs targeted for
6.0M1 and I only see 1 result, HARMONY-6330. One thing that I think is
important for us to get the M1 release out the door is to have a
realistic set of bugs in JIRA to represent the current state of the
build and I don't think that is true at the moment. I'm rerunning the
6.0 tests on the latest federated build - I'll post the results here
once I have them and I aim to raise JIRAs for all the failures (and fix
some if I can) so we have a reasonable view of what is required to reach M1.

Oliver

Since we are not making much progress towards a java6 milestone release
and the code has been frozen for much too long, I think we should
abandon the idea and postpone the release until we do the next java5
milestone.
If no one speaks up against this, then I will send a mail declaring the
code freeze over tomorrow.
I'm not convinced having the milestones offset by a week really helps
much and suggest that next time we do a milestone release for java5 we
do a java6 release at the same time. =A0(I'm not convinced this will work
either but it can't really be worse so I think we should try it.)
What do you think?
