Hi,
The uPortal rel-2.5.3.1 is tagged, and uPortal_rel-2-5-3-1_GA is built,
and posted on the website. Thanks to Scott for helping to post the build
on the website.
http://www.uportal.org/download.html
I will appreciate if someone can do some hypercontent magic to
"add a news item to the uportal site via Hypercontent announcing the release
publish that news item, the news index page, the news archive page, and
the front page to make this news item available for consumption."
We may want to update the download page to provide little bit more info
for security release if we choose to do so.
I will try to build the quick start tomorrow if I get some spare time
(no promise).
Thanks
Faizan
PS: I will not be available via email today after 3:00 EST.

Hi,
I have done a quick test on rel-2-5-3-1-RC1. Things looks good to me
except a minor issue. When I start the portal, the document title or
page title of the welcome screen incorrectly says 2.5.1. I have made
the change in the data.xml to make it say 2.5.3. I would like it to
read 2.5.3.1 but it seems we do not support versioning that deep (or
I am not aware of it). A stupid try to set the MICRO value to 3.1
instead of 3 did not work.
I am planning to tag the GA by 12:30 EST. Please let me know if it is
OK with everyone. All feedbacks are very welcomed :-).
Thanks.

Hi,
We have taken the route for a minimal diff 2.5.3.1 security release
according to our consensus. Following things has been done
1- Created the Jira Release number 2.5.3.1
2- UP-1741 is created to document this issue
(http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/browse/UP-1741)
3- Created a Branch rel-2-5-3-patches from tag rel-2-5-3-GA
4- Apply the patch that was forwarded with this message for
(rel-2-5-3-1 & rel-2-5-4)
5- Tagged rel-2-5-3-1-RC1
What is Next:
I will request if someone can checkout the rel-2-5-3-RC1 and test it.
After the test I will tag rel-2-5-3-GA, build it and update the
website. Moreover, I will create the wiki page to document this issue.
Thanks for your help.

Faizan,
+1 for a minimal diff 2.5.3.1 security release.
I think an inclination to prioritize getting out the simplest
possible release including this critical security fix is sound.
Simplest Thing That Could Possibly Work and all that.
As you note, there are a number of changes latent in 2-5-patches
targetted for a 2.5.4, including a significant JSR-168 support
improvement courtesy Cris Holdorph
<http://support.unicon.net/node/596>. Getting a 2.5.4 release out
sometime is probably therefore also a worthy goal, maybe depending
on how steep the upgrade path to 2.6 is felt to be.

Hi! again!!
I just looked at the current rel-2-5-patches head and the
rel-2-5-3-GA. A quick compare gave me a significant number of
differences between both code bases. That means there have been
several changes that went in on 2-5-patches branch sine the release
of rel-2-5-3-GA. These changes are targeted to rel-2-5-4 as JIRA
pointed out.
Here is what I am thinking in present situation
-Branch of from tag rel-2-5-3-GA (I will call branch name
rel-2-5-3-patches)
-Apply the security patch in this branch and also in the head of
rel-2-5-patches.
The tag "rel-2-5-3-1" will be done on the newly created branch
(2-5-3-patches).
I will wait till 1330 EST to wait for any negative response. If I
do not get any negative response about my plan by then, then I will
execute my plan as I have mentioned above.
Thanks.
