What is *stable* couchdb-dreyfus-clouseau right now?

[Arturo GARCIA-VARGAS <ar...@ficuslabs.com>]

Hello List,

   Maybe someone can help me here.  I am upgrading 
clouseau/scalang/overlock so it works with Scala-2.13 and JDK-8.  I've 
got it working but I have some questions.  I cross-post from

https://github.com/cloudant-labs/clouseau/issues/22#issuecomment-544206078

Thanks!

OK, so where do we stand. I have updated dependencies to get 
couchdb-master + clouseu + dreyfus working with scala 2.13 and newer 
JDK. I have a few questions and comments though, it would be great to 
get some information on the below:


Clouseau
* A big patch applied in May (00a1e51) nuked some code (A tiny patch I 
did years ago). (BAD?)
* Clouseau has no version tags - How do I know what commit to use with 
dreyfus? Are we always working on master?
* Is cloudant using the https://github.com/cloudant-labs/clouseau repo 
for their own deployments? do I have the latest code?
* Clouseau refers to partitioned dbs, which makes me think it is 
expecting a couchdb running from master. Can someone clarify what commit 
is stable for the combo couchdb-dreyfus-clouseau?

=> Main question: What commit is the working, stable version of clouseau 
that I should branch from to apply all scala-2.13 and Lucene upgrades?


Dreyfus
* Dreyfus master clearly doesn't apply to stable couchdb-2.3.1. What 
commit of dreyfus corresponds to stable-couchdb-2.3.1?
* Dreyfus has seen many patches in the past year, but they are all 
incompatible with couchdb-2.3.1. Are these expecting master to be used?
* Dreyfus has a branch 'dreyfus-new-and-old-clouseau'. Is clouseau from 
github "old-clouseau"? This one left me a bit astonished at first... Is 
there another clouseau?

=> Main question: What commit of dreyfus should we use?

CouchDB
=> Main question: What commit is the stable couchdb to work with all the 
above?

I personally want to stick to a reliable couchdb-dreyfus-clouseau combo 
as I myself run patched versions of CouchDB-2.3.1.  I would be happy to 
move forward our patches to master but without tags and knowing what is 
stable we are in the dark.  CouchDB-2.3.1 removed some functionality we 
used (starting processes via the config), which was a bit annoying.  We 
shrugged it off and moved on to couchdb-2.3.1 but I feel we are again at 
square one branching from the "stable" couchdb-2.3.1.  Also, looking at 
commits and future plans, CouchDB seems very keen on dropping features. 
Committing to "stable" releases seems to leave you on a path that is 
already deprecated (what happened from 2.2 to 2.3).  What should we follow?

Thanks!

Arturo
