No, you all should decide, and I guess OpenGeo is still deciding on the pace we want to push on 2.0.x. I'm coming from the product angle and I want to reduce risk in the short term. Though I was against it the community decided that geoserver trunk should be against geotools trunk. I suppose that policy should continue, I had just thought the decision to go against geotools 2.5 was for all of 2.0, not just for the alpha.

From a GeoServer perspective I don't think trunk of GeoTools really offers us anything, except more work. But I understand the argument that if we are on it and keeping it in check it could lead to less work in the long term. And I'd really like to not have to deal with getting GeoTools trunk to a stable release just to get a GeoServer 2.0 out the door, when we have no changes. But I'll go with what you all decide, I apologize I wasn't up with the original email thread.

well we talked about this on this email thread [1] and a meeting. My impression was pros and cons were balanced and there was general concensus that it was a higher risk letting geotools trunk go wild (in the long run) than following the policy the PSC decided about, which is that GeoServer trunk shall follow GeoTools trunk.

Note I just made the switch to geotools trunk on my local checkout and it _does not_ build, the WFS module breaks, so the concern is how more difficult will it be to make the switch the longer we wait.

By the other side its true sticking to gt-2.5.x allows us to progress faster on 2.0, working on geotools trunk is always a compromise when time counts.

opinions? should we call the PSC for a vote? does the PSC care or will they just let us do whatever gets us to 2.0 faster?

Really?  I thought we were going to stick to the same branch for the
2.0.x releases as 1.7.x, so as to reduce our risk.  I mean, we're
wanting to move pretty quickly to beta and rc, no?

ok so I'll make the switch (as soon as my current gt-trunk build
finishes)

any objection anyone?

Hey all,

since 2.0.0-alpha1 is out wouldn't it be time to switch to geotools
trunk? at least that's what I remember we've talked about while
preparing the release.
