Rivet 2.0.0 tarball uploaded to www.apache.org
The tarball of rivet 2.0.0 has been uploaded to the apache web
infrastructure. The release is available now at:
http://www.apache.org/dist/tcl/rivet/
An announce should appear on the website tomorrow after the tar
archive has propagated through some of the many mirrors hosting ASF
software .
I'm also preparing a document to be published on the website listing the
(so far) few known problems with this release. After I uploaded the
tarball I noticed a small mistake in the INSTALL file, that shouldn't
prevent a user from building the module though. It's been corrected in
the 2_0 branch and will be commited soon.

Hi Massimo
> I hope I passed the exam. :-)
I don't think it was one ;-) It's just that my personal practice is to
create branches for either strange new stuff to explore that cannot go
to head (yet) or keep them as "bug fix extension points" when the trunk
is already on to the next iteration, but there is a need to "just fix"
an older release: on trunk, I develop, on branches I play or fix.
But as I wrote in my previous mail, I was "just wondering"... Never
miss an opportunity to look at something through someone elses eyes :-)
Regards
Ronnie

Hi Ronnie,
good questions that make me critically examine what I did.
First of all, we can still tag the code in trunk to follow your suggestion, if
we deem it as a good course of action. I would consider the possibility and,
in case, tag it before new commits happen.
Second reason: since a 1_0 branch has existed now for quite a long time I
assumed this was a policy D-D had decided sometime in the past. Admittedly I
had to ask explicitly.
The third reason is that we still can copy further developments from trunk
into 2_0 at will, as long as we think they won't break anything. I expect
trunk to diverge from 2_0 though, at least we have to keep the possibility
open. Sooner or later the support for apache 1.x will be dropped in trunk
making room for support of new apache versions, whereas I think of the 2_0
branch as something that will maintain the apache 1 code even though we will
make fixes, adjustments and improvements on it. Unlike in the typical example
for a branch I don't see 2_0 as a branch that will join in the future the
development in trunk.
I hope I passed the exam. :-)
regards

Actually, just wondering: why did you create a 2_0 branch (especially
since it's copied from head. Don't you expect to continue development
on the trunk? I'd have thought that it might have made more sense to
just create a 2.0.0 tag on the trunk and then continue in the trunk.
Or do you expect independent development happening on trunk and the 2_0
branch? Or are there other reasons to create a branch instead of just
a tag (Even if it's technically the same in SVN anyway...)?
Regards
Ronnie

A big thanks to Massimo from me, too!
