I've created a 1.0.0-RC1-incubating release, with the following artifacts up
for a vote:
SVN source tag ( r1335495):
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/syncope/tags/syncope-1.0.0-RC1-incubating/
If this is the second attempt, why is it called RC1 ?
Surely it should be called RC2 ?
Depends. As the first vote has been canceled, there was nothing like an
official RC1.
RC means Release candidate; if the vote passes, it becomes the release.
As noted in the subject, this is the 2nd attempt for RC1.
Does not make sense.
The second attempt is the second release candidate, i.e. RC2.
We agreed on a version scheme where RCi are full releases (from release
process point of view) while not including everything planned on JIRA
for the corresponding version: hence, our 1.0.0-RC1-incubating doesn't
have all fixes planned for 1.0.0-incubating.
In other words, RC1 is referring to the completeness of the code against
the issues, not to the completeness of the release against the release
requirements.
At least, this is how we defined Syncope release numbering scheme;
moreover, it seems to me that every project is defining its own
versioning ([1] [2] [3] for example), and I personally think it's correct.
Release numbers are just labels, after all, isn't it?
Yes, they are just a convention, but if the convention is not in
general use, then it is potentially confusing.
Other projects use alphaN / betaN suffixes, or Mnn for milestone releases.
It's particularly confusing that the same SVN tag is used for both
source releases
This release vote uses:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/syncope/tags/syncope-1.0.0-RC1-incubating/
Previous release vote:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/syncope/tags/syncope-1.0.0-RC1-incubating/
A tag is just a name. We don't vote tags, we vote a source package, ie a
SVN revision number.
The reason we add the number of attempt in the subject is just to avoid
a possible confusion.
Tags should ideally be immutable.
SVN revisions are immutable.
Similarly for the source archives - the names are identical:
syncope-root-1.0.0-RC1-incubating-source.zip
syncope-root-1.0.0-RC1-incubating-source.zip
Anyway, is there also other IPMC available to check the release to bind
his vote? Thanks!
I think there are some problems with the N&L files in the source archive.
The N&L files are supposed to relate to the actual items included in
the archive; however the N&L in the source archive include references
to binaries which are clearly not included in the archive.
Syncope generates war files, which include those binaries. Using the
source per se does not give you anything usabe, and those using the war
files will have those binaries included. Not having the full N&L
(including for binaries) would be harmfull for users, IMO.
I'll check against some other projects that have the same kind of
distribution to double check.
Holding my vote atm.
