Dan, thanks for the insights. That makes sense to me. I was concerned we were missing a step in the Apache release process and didn't want that to hold up the release when it got to the incubator list. Sounds like we're good to go though.
+1 and I'll shut up now. :) -Nick ----- Original Message ---- From: Daniel Kulp <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: "Snitkovsky, Martin" <[email protected]>; "[email protected]" <[email protected]>; Jason Dillon <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 5, 2009 9:49:37 AM Subject: Re: [VOTE] Release Wink 0.1 On Wed August 5 2009 7:46:07 am Snitkovsky, Martin wrote: > Don't remember seeing other projects using RC available publicly or reading > abt it in Apache ... but I will check it again. > > Dan, Jason - any insight ? Depends on the project. Some do have actual "rc" tagged builds, some don't. For CXF, I think out of the 27 releases we've done, we've only done a "rc" tagged build once, and that was mostly because I was testing out some release- plugin things. Maven tends to do RC's for maven itself, but not for each plugin. Basically, for CXF, we have snapshots deployed by hudson almost every night. Thus, as we get closer to a release, we encourage potential testers to grab the snapshots to make sure it works. The devs also grab snapshots to check legal junk and such. When everyone is more or less happy, we do exactly what you did and use the release plugin to stage an actual release candidate that is voted on. If the vote passes, great. If an issue is found, the vote is canceled and redone with a new rc.
