I'll accept ;-)

I'll start reading the docs and ping you and/or Jukka if I have some
questions about the release process. Please let me know if there are
some common pitfalls that I need to avoid.

Regards,
Bart

Actually, if you and Bart don't mind, it would be great if Bart could
take care of cutting the 2.4.2 release with your help. The more people
we have who are familiar with the release process, the better, as that
removes bottlenecks and allows us to more actively ship releases.

Hi Bart,

I'm doing 2.2.12 now, see Jukka's email announcing it as well [0].

About 2.4.x: we did not have a release announcement, so everybody can make
sure the issues that they want will get included, like you guys did.
I'm thinking it would be too short notice to do it today, so I'd leave it
for next week.

What do you think?

thanks,
alex

Having been through the process for Oak 0.1 I happily volunteer to release
JR 2.2x & 2.4.x

Assuming nobody else wants to give it a go :)

Apart from any blockers (AFAICT none exist for 2.2.x or 2.4.x) we can
cut releases as often as we like.

I'm a bit busy at least for this and next week, but if you like, I'd
be happy to help you (or anyone else) through the release manager
tasks. Most of the steps are already covered in

Hi all,

With our customers we have had some considerable issues with data
inconsistencies in the repository for quite a while now. As of lately
we have spent a considerable amount of time to tackle this. We have
taken three approaches:

- improving the (stand alone) checker app (still work in progress)
- creating a tool that hammers the repository with random concurrent
operations to find reproduction paths
- fixing the found problems reported by this tool [1,2,3,4]

We used to be able to find a lot of inconsistencies after just running
five minutes or so. The good news is that after the fixes of [1,2,3,4]
we were not able to produce any inconsistencies with concurrent single
node tests and concurrent clustered tests!

I've merged the fixes to the 2.4 and 2.2 branches since most of our
customers are still on 2.2.x releases. I would like to go for bugfix
releases 'soonish' for both 2.2 as 2.4 as these are rather important
issues (at least to us). Would that be possible and fit with other
outstanding patches? What would be a reasonable time frame?

Regards,
Bart

+1 on creating new releases as soon as possible (easy to say, as I don't 
have to do the work for it :-)
