Convenience Binary Policy

2014-10-20 Thread Alex Harui
Hi, I’m wondering whether modifications to the set of bundled jars in a convenience binary package can be made after release without voting. And if not, I’m looking for any other quick-fix ideas for the following scenario. Flex has many different release packages. One is an SDK called FlexJS 0.

Regardless of whether you can/can't do this (others are commentating, I won't add to that) - wouldn't it be easier to just build a release and call a vote. My guess is that you spent more than three days from identification of the problem to distribution and discussion here. Remember, if you tak

Sorry, my last response crossed paths with this. We can and will make another release, but no, it was only 24 hours ago that we realized we might get a bump in installs from the talk on Tuesday and only 10 hours since I proved we could workaround the problem with a change to the binary package. N

Ok. Well remember that the release vote period is a guideline. If this is such a trivial change maybe it would be acceptable to use a shorter vote period. As long as you have three +1 (meaning three people have verified the release) you would be good to go, without long debates about policy and

Let me see if I can tie all of the responses back into one thread. Thanks Ross, for confirming that vote periods can be shorter. However, there still isn’t enough time to get through vote + mirror latency before Tuesday in San Francisco. I think Ted just said I can update the binary package but
