Today, our repository looks like:
trunk
trinidad
plugins
branches
trinidad-xyz-branch
trinidad
plugins
etc....
tags
maven-plugin-parent-1...
trinidad-1...
What's weird here is that we release and tag the plugins independently
of the core, but we still maintain the trunk and branches with these two
together.
Going forward, I suspect we'll want the ability to do quick releases
of the core without touching the plugins. (I'm tempted to do a 1.0.3
release in the near future.) But as long as our trunk repository is
what it is, that doesn't seem that feasible. And I don't see any reason
why we shouldn't be able to do a quick plugins release to resolve
any Myfaces Core issues without touching the rest of Trinidad.
So: my proposal is that we should redo the repos to be:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/trinidad/core
trunk
branches
tags
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/trinidad/plugins
trunk
branches
tags
... and let the two release independently. There still
would be cases (potentially many) where we have to
release plugins, then the core, in lockstep. This would
have been true for 1.0.1 and 1.0.2, for instance. But it'd
definitely better reflect our tagging strategy.
