Re: pushing the 3.3.3 bugs

[Flavio Junqueira]

Ben, Your proposal in general sounds reasonable to me with the exception of "do a release from just a branch if it is something that pops up quickly right after a  release". I don't see a reason for binding it to time, and instead we could say that we will have a branch release if: 1- there is an important bug fix that needs to be released 2- we are not close to a trunk release -Flavio On Jan 26, 2011, at 7:27 PM, Benjamin Reed wrote: i would really like to get 3.3.3 out because of the fixes that just went in. there are quite a few bugs that are marked for 3.3.3, but i think they can all be pushed to 3.4.0. i would really like to push everything to 3.4.0 and then work on getting the 3.4.0 release out. we haven't done a release from trunk in a while, but that is the only code that gets tested by hadoopqa. i think it is a bad idea to be releasing from branches that are not regularly tested. going forward doesn't it seem like a better idea to only do a release from just a branch if it is something that pops up quickly right after a release. otherwise, we should be releasing from trunk and possibly doing a simultaneous release from a branch. ben flavio junqueira   research scientist   f...@yahoo-inc.com direct +34 93-183-8828   avinguda diagonal 177, 8th floor, barcelona, 08018, es phone (408) 349 3300    fax (408) 349 3301
