Could we do a slight change in number version policy?
2.2-RC0 instead of 2.2.RC0
2.2.0 stay unchanged...
2.3-M0 instead of 2.3.M0
I.e. replace the last . by - for milestone and release candidates, but
not for final releases. Rational:
* This is consistent with Maven usage (e.g. the Maven "SNAPSHOT" keyword
as in "2.2-SNAPSHOT"). See also the beta version numbering in
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-plugin-plugin/
* It would fix alphebatical order in listing like
http://svn.geotools.org/geotools/tags/. With the current scheme,
"2.2.RC0" will appear as if it were released after "2.2.0", which is of
course wrong. "2.2-RC0" would appears before "2.2.0" in alphabetical
order (because '-' has a lower ASCII value than '.'), which is better.
If we agree with such change, should we rename existing tags on SVN? (I
can do that, it should take about 10 minutes).
Martin.
