Request for Geronimo 2.2.2 Release

This thread is dedicated to pushing for the next release of Geronimo
(version 2.2.2). It would be great to get a target date set for this
release.

There is a particular bug fix that I am really looking forward to regarding
the use of the root context.

Other user/devloper votes or comments are welcome to help move the next
release forward.

Would be great to see a 2.2.2 release, as porting to 3.0 for older applications could take some time.

I'll start a Geronimoi 2.2.2 release discussion in near term .

We'll include the accumulated security patches and bug fixes and to pull in
the clustering update in openejb 3.1.5 for Geronimo 2.2.2.

I'll use that thread to know the other requirements from community before
starting the release.

Thanks a lot for the link.  I'll have to pay more attention to the developer
forum.  I was mistakenly looking at
https://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxPMGT/apache-geronimo-release-roadmaps.html and
didn't realize the TBD date is only changed for the actual release date.

Scan the archives for the dev@ mailing list. Also, current status is here -- https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GMOxPMGT/Geronimo+3.0.0+Release+Status

One of the major pieces is TCK status which is passing.

Even if nobody else is interested in a 2.2.x release I figured there would at
least be others interested in more details on the official Geronimo 3.x
release.

Shawn J do you have any details or know anybody I might be able to ask to
get them?

Sorry for the late response I just now saw your updated post to this thread.

The Jira fix I really want in the release is found here .

My original explanation can also be found here.

I am looking forward to this release.

Thanks a lot.

Hello,

Geronimo 3.0 has been released,   it's time to discuss what we want to
include to the Geronimo 2.2.2.   You mentioned you want to include a JIRA
fix in the release.   Can you be more specific ?

I opened another thread on Geronimo 2.2.2,  please also comment on that
thread if it's possible.

Do you have an idea of when Geronimo 3.x will be in good shape and then
approximately how long it will take to do a 2.2.x release? Just a rough
estimate/target date is all I am looking for.  I am trying to get a handle
on what to expect so I can start planning accordingly for an upgrade to
Geronimo 3.x or if I am able to wait for the 2.2.x release.

I am hoping the release is not too far off.

I might not have make myself clear,  I meant "Most of the focus have been
in Geronimo 3.x instead of Geronimo 2.2 branch in community  *recently*".

We have provided patches for the HASH-DOS vulnerability.    I'm open for a
new 2.2.2 release and related discussion for other general issues when
Geronimo 3.0 is in a good shape.

That doesn't seem like a well-thought out answer… Given the HASH-DOS security vulnerability and other general issues, there seems to be enough to merit a 2.2.x release. If the community doesn't want to generate a release, then seems like we should be discussing dropping support for 2.2.x (which is something that I would not be in favor of).

Re: Request for Geronimo 2.2.2 Release

Posted by gqmulligan <gq...@gmail.com>.
That is understandable.  The main issue I personally would then have is that
Geronimo 3.x uses Tomcat 7.  I'm not sure if the web container is fully
integrated or if it can be swapped for another version but right now we are
using Tomcat 6 with Geronimo 2.2 in production.  It doesn't look like there
are any big breaking changes migrating from Tomcat 6 to 7 but we would still
have to do lots of testing for obvious reasons.

Also, I am not sure how much effort it would take to do a 2.2.2 release.  I
do not want to distract anyone from their main goals but if a 2.2.2 release
can be accomplished without too much effort and distraction long before the
3.x release can take place then it would be great to have the 2.2.2 release.

I see the final release for 3.x is still TBD 2012 according to the release
roadmap.  Do you have any better idea now when it will be released in 2012
compared to when a 2.2.2 release could be made if you decided to go through
with it?

Most of the focus have been in Geronimo 3.x instead of Geronimo 2.2 branch
in community.   Do you have any specific requirement that has to be
fulfilled with Geronimo 2.2.x instead of Geronimo 3.x ?

We'd like to hear more voice on if we need to plan a near term Geronimo
2.2.2 release.

Is there really no one else who would benefit from or welcome the next
version of Geronimo?  Would this really not make anyone else happy?  Might
it even make some sad?

Lets at least get some votes here please!
