[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Keep old LTS till next version N.4.1 is released
Hi devs, I see on http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download that the new LTS is 7.4. I think that’s a bit dangerous because LTS means that users can put it in production with eyes closed and we’re guaranteeing stability. In practice it’s a bit too early to decide if 7.4 is really that stable. In the future I’d suggest that we wait till 7.4.1 (i.e. N.4.1) is released because we remove the previous LTS and swap it with the new one. WDYT?

For example when we release 7.3, we have stable = latest = 7.3 and we have only 2 branches. So we have now 2 proposals: * Proposal 1: Keep previous N-1.4.x LTS till the first bugfix release of the new N.4 release is released (i.e. N.4.1) and then do the switch. * Proposal 2: Keep previous N-1.4.x LTS till the next cycle’s first stable release is done (i.e. N.0) and then do the switch. Proposal 2 is safer (it allows more time for having at least 2 bugfix releases of the N-1.4). It means a bit more work since it means continuing to merge bugfixes to N-1.4.x a bit longer. I personally have a preference for Proposal 2. WDYT? Let’s agree and then we can document it in http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/VersioningAndReleasePractices (and add the notion of LTS which we haven’t documented there btw).

Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Keep old LTS till next version N.4.1 is released
In my understanding the rule is supposed to be 3 supported branches (dev, stable, lts) so I guess we can say until 8.0 is released 7.4.x is just the stable branch (and 6.4.x the lts). We pretty much always have the same conversation every time we start a new major version branch.
