I would like something more specific about 2.3 and generic about 2.4.
I would be +1 to the following roadmap:
1) 2.3 is release candidate: we don't change anything if not to fix
major/medium bugs
+1 Noel and you are right, I would really like to have jspf sooner :'(
but I think it's more important to finalize 2.3.0 asap.
2) 2.4 is the next 2.x release (we had this in roadmap until you
decided at apachecon to keep only 3.0 ;-) ) and is storage compatible
with 2.2 (like 2.3). We can backport here *anything* from trunk if we
keep storage compatibility and mailet api compatibility.
+1
3) 3.0 will be the next major release including any backward
incompatibility issue.
+1
Currently IIRC anything we have in trunk could be part of the 2.4
release as we didn't introduce any incompatibility.
If we want to follow this roadmap I would avoid to commit anything 3.0
specific in trunk until we have a 2.3.0 final out. Then I would start
a 2.4.0 branch from the trunk of that moment and from that point we
would still have 2 active tree (2.4 branch and trunk for 3.0).
The main difference from your proposal is that I would put in every
non-incompatible change in and I would try to create it from trunk
instead of starting a selective merging work.
+1 if we are also able to keep config.xml unchanged (confining
differences only to james-smtphandlerchain.xml).
Otherwise I will not be +1 because I think that we would start having
too much things to vote upon about 2.4 mergin, we would start having 3
active trees (2.3, 2.4 and trunk) and too many critical issues.
About your specific proposal (having a 2.4 as a 2.3+fast
fail+launcher) I'm currently -1 because I think fast fail need much
more work and the launcher is to be tested and there is much more that
deserve inclusion in a 2.4 release before (almost all we currently
have in trunk).
Furthermore the launcher stuff needs to be discussed because we may
need to change our binary releases: the commons-daemon has 4 different
binaries and different solutions for 4 platform (freebsd, macosx, win,
linux). Tomcat does OS specific releases, we currently have a single
release... we should test and include at least linux and windows and
this would take much more.
