[vote] Submit a motion to the ASF board to exempt Apache::* from the
official release process
Getting the releases out for our sub distributions such as
Apache::Reload,Apache::SizeLimit,Apache::DBI has been a challenge.
With our current release processes, we need twelve +1 votes (3 for
core, 3 for AT/ASL/AR) to release a version of mod_perl with Apache::*
changes, whereas most ASF projects may only need three +1 votes to
release a new version. We need this exemption since those modules are
under the ASF license.
We have enough feedback from httpd core during Apache::Test releases
that I think we can still go with the standard release process. But
this motion I propose to submit would exempt said modules from those
official release process needs.
Please vote!
Text of proposed motion:
'The mod_perl PMC petitions the ASF board to exempt the
Apache::Sizelimit, Apache::Reload, Apache::DBI, and Apache::Reload
modules to skip over the normal release rules governing ASF project
releases and be released directly to CPAN. With the large number of
sub-projects the mod_perl project has spawned, the number of votes to
do a major mod_perl release can reach 12, which is 4x as much as some
other ASF projects. Apache::Test continues to have participation from
httpd core members, and as such is consistently able to get enough
votes for releases, and does not need this exemption.'

I'm hoping the message it will send is that the sub-releases of
Apache::* were successful enough that they have outgrown the core
mod_perl project. Our problem has not become a lack of votes, it has
become a large increase in the number of needed votes.

I'll +1 this, but i'm worried about the message it's going to send. I
haven't been on top of actually testing and +1'ing releases lately, but
i also feel like i could be, if i got a poke about actually getting it done.

Saw this got into the report. Any feedback from the board?

If modules are like cats, trying to package them in the release has
felt like herding cats. Bundling them together adds a small
convenience for the users, but is cumbersome on the release side.
Initially when I took on the 2.0.5 release I thought it could be done
without too much pain, but it takes resources which I think are better
allocated elsewhere.

+1 here too, making the release process itself easier/faster is always a
good IMO.
Does rise the question of whether we should even package these modules
in the release itself, or just release them separately.
I am preparing the report for the board, and I need to have it ready in
1-2 days, so let's just make sure we are happy with Fred's text (below)
and I'll submit it to the board.
Cheers.

+1 here. I took a long at some of the other ASF projects today.
Lucene has 2 major subprojects (solr and lucene), and their PMC
probably 2-3 times as big as ours.
