Hi Jim, *
I understand this, I have just an idea. We keep the 4.1.4 as is and
release a patch for the bug. Then we make just new community builds with
the patch. Like this we avoid to make a 4.1.5 and we stick within the ASF
policy.
Regards Raphael

Once something is tagged it is public. It is official. Removing and/or
adjusting tags is something that we cannot and should not do. It is
really against ASF policy since it destroys an accurate representation
of our history and IP provenance.
If someone wishes to take over as RM, I am fine with that. I will
still produce the required builds. But as long as I'm RM, I can't
abide by "rewriting" history re: 4.1.4... But like I said, I'm OK
w/ someone taking over as RM and will follow their direction
whatever it is.

Considering this issue, this means that 4.1.4 is also DOA. I will wait

a few more hours, for West Coast to get online but my plan is to

We are still in time for retiring 4.1.4-RC4 (not 4.1.4 altogether).
Builds are on SourceForge but they've never been distributed and they
can be replaced by new builds.
4.1.4 is tagged but SVN tags can be deleted and recreated. Not best
practice, but surely feasible.
Remember that the amount of code changes needed to produce something
named 4.1.5 is quite significant and very much error-prone. Take a look
at the relevant issues in case, but for a "quick fix" I would
definitely stick to 4.1.4, produce 4.1.4-RC5 and vote on RC5, while
undoing what we did for 4.1.4-RC4.
Note: I'm writing all of the above without having had the time to look
at the patch or test. I'll do that this evening, European time. I have
still to understand the importance of this bug too - I assume this
affects potentially many users, otherwise we can go the slippery way of
"fix just another small bug" for ages.
Regards,
Andrea.
