I think the point was that we also need people to review the commits and people to vote on the release. > 20th), I plan to spend another couple hours and make one final release of > Regexp. > > At which point, I'm going to call the project 'final' and Jakarta can > figure out what they want to do with it from there.

I don't know what "final" would mean - if bugs are found that affect projects using regexp ( like tomcat which AFAIK has a dependency ) - then I hope it'll still be possible to fix them. My opinion about "stable" projects like regexp: we should change the avail to include the whole jakarta ( similar with jakarta-commons ). This way any project that has a dependency on regexp will be able to protect itself and either fix the bugs that bite them or review changes that may break something. BTW - thanks for taking the time to fix the bugs in regexp, and congratulations to the jakarta-regexp team for completing the project ! :-) Costin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
