So, going back to the original thread, one of the suggestions for naming was:

    http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openjpa/branches/r547073/

It sounds like you'd prefer that approach. What about Craig and Kevin? I'm assuming that Srinivasa is ok with that approach, since he suggested it in his original email.

Just my $0.02

I have no problems with 1. Posthumously creating a branch will happen from
time to time.

I think that 2 can cause problems. It's not clear to me from the branch name
where wlsmaintenance fits. Is it before or after 1.1.0? If I'm a new
developer should I try to merge my patch from trunk to
wlsmaintenance/1000mp1?

Where it gets ugly is if the trend continued. Potentially creating branches
for each consumer could cause a lot of confusion.

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with the approach taken so far. It's definitely not the most ideal, but it seems to be a fair approach given the
situation (no branch was made at the time that WebLogic 10.0 shipped
initially, and now there are changes that need to be made against that
version).

As discussed earlier, with the 1.1.x branch, which was driven by us
(WebLogic), we hope to minimize the changes made to the branch to important bugfixes only, such that we can simply track that branch moving forward. I expect that other organizations that push for a given release at a given
time to dovetail with their release trains will have similar desires.

It seems like the only differences between the case at hand and that more
general sentiment are:

1. this branch was created post facto, rather than up-front

2. the name of the branch has vendor connotations

Are your objections to issue 1 (i.e., the existence of a post-facto branch)
or issue 2 (a vendor name appearing in a branch)?

I'm also leery of adding another branch to maintain. Patrick alluded to
potentially dangerous changes which went into the 1.0.x branch which
caused
some concern for BEA. I'm guessing that rev 547073 is a point in time
before
similar changes went in.

If that's the motivation for creating a branch I'm not entirely opposed to
it, but it should fit in with the rest of our naming conventions. I
checked
out rev 547073 and pom.xml lists the version as 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT. Any branch made at this point would be between 0.9.7 and 1.0.0. I'd suggest a name
of
0.9.x for the new branch. The poms should be rolled back and so on - might have to do something to make OpenJPAVersion look correct to BEA customers
though.

Without looking at the differences between 547073 and 1.0.0 I can't say whether we really need this branch. I am not opposed to creating one but
it
should fit the naming conventions we've laid out.

It should be sufficient to have maintenance folks know from which branch
a
maintenance release was cut (r547073, openjpa/trunk/ is really where you shipped from??? After creating a 1.1.0 tag?). And we now have trunk,
1.1.x,
and 1.0.x branches as active code lines.

The only reason that I can think of to have a vendor tag is so you can do vendor maintenance in it. And I don't think we want to do that. If you
need
to make patches for specific customers, it seems that a local repository would be appropriate. And once the patch is verified to work, put the
update
into an Apache svn branch.

What do others think?

Wait a minute, Srinivasa. This doesn't seem right. I will admit that I

didn't see your original posting asking for guidance, but I really don't
think we want WebLogic, WebSphere, Geronimo, or any other vendor's
specific
maintenance releases housed in the OpenJPA SVN repository.

It looks like WebLogic shipped something between the 0.9.7- incubating
and
the official 1.0.0 release. Is there some reason why you couldn't just support your WebLogic customers using the 1.0.x service stream? It
would
seem that customers would appreciate using an official release (post
incubation) instead of the the one WebLogic initially shipped.

Do you need a complete branch? Or, are you just interested in tagging
the
branch so that you can easily find the start of your service stream?

I think we need to do something different here.  I don't like the
approach
that you used.
