Hi,
Don't get me wrong I am very willing to help the Geronimo guys out and build the community. I just want to understand whats involved And if other projects to do this - then I would be very interested to Know how they manage requests for releases, patches etc. Edell. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Kulp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 February 2007 17:25 To: yoko-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Rules for a release vote.

Actually, yes. Several projects do that. Releasing tuscany is a pain. It's a release of the "buildtools" stuff, a release of the specs, a release of sdo, release of the core, etc.... All are separate releases. Also, any projects that has multiple languages usually release each language separately. IMO, the stuff Rick is doing to create the "embedded" distribution is a good thing (although I think I would have gone the profile route). Long term, I feel having that is good for the project no matter what the releases look like in the short term. Short term: I'm fundamentally against releasing anything based on snapshot dependencies whether or not we tag them for reproducibility or not. (I now pretty much -1 releases that have snapshot dependencies since the resulting artifacts will be useless in the maven repositories.) The CXF project has said the stuff is not "stable" and thus I really don't like the idea of shipping it. However, I recognize that Geronimo needs a release of the core stuff (and I assume Harmony would as well) and as community building thing, I'd like to provide them with that. Thus, I would say releasing the embedded stuff for them (that doesn't have the snapshot dependencies) is good for the project and for the community. Anyway, I'm not a yoko committer and thus don't have any binding votes, but that's my opinion. Dan > > Edell. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Alan D.
