Steve, I didn't put a "we're releasing now bomb" in, I said:
"I started a release branch for Lucene / Solr 4.3 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/branches/lucene_solr_4_3/ I will update the 4.x branch now and build the first RC" we have done this often in the past and each time if something serious came up we just did a re-spin. I didn't expect that this would go through without any respin. I'd just have appreciated to not get a "WTF are you doing why don't you tell us etc." if there was a warning like 6 days ahead. If there would have been a discussion about issues to make it in or not because they are blocker I'd have never put any resistance in that. I talked to mark privately and all is good. There was no "there is blocker X I will port it to the RC branch", instead I only got complains no objections. I never said "fuck you and your objections" my $0.05 simon On Fri, Apr 19, 2013 at 6:07 PM, Steve Rowe <sar...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Simon, > > On Apr 17, 2013, at 2:43 PM, Simon Willnauer <simon.willna...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> the warning has been given 6 days ago.
