M3 on Wednesday?
The vote to do a M3 release before ApacheCon was positive. Now the question is when. I know many of us are travelling on Friday. I suggest we prepare the release on Wednesday, so we have a bit of time to look it over before anyone hops on a plane. I'm not really looking for another vote, just speak up if you have a problem with Wednesday being the day. Hopefully there won't be any trouble getting a stable build for the M3 release, but if there is, we may need to revert some changes and ask them to be re-applied after the M3. So my plan is to continue to work on the release notes and, umm, last-minute features until Wednesday and then get a stable build and capture a modules/assembly/target/geronimo-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar as the official M3 and then change it into a tarball and zip instead of a JAR and sign it and post the release notes and download archives... David B, if you're bored and want to take charge of this, you're more than welcome to. :) Thanks, Aaron
Re: M3 on Wednesday?
+1 Wednesday I think the most important thing is we all agree to whined down development as Wednesday approaches. I know that normally there is a flood extra activity as a release approaches, which would make this release impossible, but I'm concerned that even at our current rate of change we will be unable to cut a release. I'd also like to try a dry run on Tuesday -dain On Nov 8, 2004, at 2:29 PM, Aaron Mulder wrote: The vote to do a M3 release before ApacheCon was positive. Now the question is when.

I've got a few hacked up scripts to tar,zip, md5, sha, pgp, and scp the source and binary distros. Though after all this is over, I would *love* get your help in converting them to jelly/maven so it would be easy for any of us to cut a release. I'd also like to automate the creation of the changelog. I have part of a stylesheet for it, but nothing working. -David

There are too many of them, and many are internal-use-only (not real meaningful to an end user). But that is a good query to get this list that I need to summarize as text.

I spend 10N hours confused, frustrated, and griping for every N hours of productivity when working with them. The change log automation would be cool. Does JIRA have any kind of API or would we really need to screen scrape? Aaron

I guess this is the answer I was seeking. I'd be willing to help with this effort.

If we have time I really love the release notes Mozilla puts out http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/ I also think we should have the detailed change log, but a summary like mozilla does would be spectacular. -dain
