Hoss Man commented on LUCENE-4150:
----------------------------------
bq. About jira, after we release i do think we should make the version in JIRA
so people can report bugs against it. But I don't think we should do that now
(or people will get confused about what version to terget things).
Just to be clear, i think this absolutely MUST be done, and would be total
chaos otherwise.
If we are going to vote and have official "Alpha" and "Beta" releases that we
want end users to actually try out and test thoroughly, then we are going to
need a way to record when a bug was found/fixed in 4.0-Alpha vs the 4.0-Beta vs
the 4.0-final.
Until we have a formally voted on Alpha it's not a big deal, but as soon as
that moment happens, ever bug that currently says "Fixed in: 4.0" should be
bulked edited to say "Fixed in: 4.0-Alpha, 4.0" -- so that 9 months from now
when someone says "I'm still running 4.0-Alpha because there was an API change
to fix a bug that made it too hard for me to upgrade to 4.0-Beta" there is a
good clean record of what bug fixes they do/don't have.
bq. No. We are targeting 4.0, these are just snapshots of that!
Calling the alpha/beta snapshots is extremely missleading and should be
avoided. The only usage of the term "snapshot" in apache (that i know of) are
for *unofficial* nightly/jenkins/svn builds. Since the alpha/beta releases
will in fact be _official_ (VOTEd) releases we should not ever imply/refer to
them as "snapshots" since that would convey lower status on them (and reduce
the likely hood of enn users testing them) then they will deserve.
