FTR, we are not going to vote on legal policy. The board will vote,
if anyone. Legal policies are not a PMC thing. I implement them as
needed or directed by the board.
Ack, +1. (voting to not be voting :)
I don't really care about the nit (it is present in the existing
header text). It is just something I noticed while implementing
the changes for Jackrabbit.
+1 and thank you for the observation.
I don't concur with Colm, the tarball is the release and changing the legal
text is more significant, perhaps, than even the code itself. So it's yet
another bump that strikes me as silly.
*shrug* version numbers are cheap. I thought we only required them
to change if the compiled bits would change or if the release was
already announced.
Thanks for clarifying your position, as you were the only one I was thinking of
(still around these parts) who argued tag x.y.z -> tarball x.y.z is involitile.
So if this is your position, then I guess there is no reason not to retain the
number, if this is what Colm wants to do.
Appears to be Colm's choice of 1. nothing extra, 2. revert date changes/reroll,
or 3. revert date changes (w/ any other changes he wishes), bump and reroll.
That's my preference, in descending order, but support whichever he chooses.
Thanks again for all the detailed comments Roy. With a Board policy in place,
we stand ready to resolve this. In the interim, we can <eot> the subject.
Cool.
Bill
