propose 1.7.1 bug fix release

Hi,

I'd like to propose a timetable for the release of 1.7.1.

We know that the users are waiting for several important fixes that
are already in trunk, and I think we should try to release as soon as
we can.

Following the release instructions :), I suggest that we start to cut
a beta the week beginning 22nd October (2 weeks today).

Does anyone have a large contribution outstanding that would need much
more time?  Is there still a race condition on multi-core machines?

Vetoes welcome ;p

Kev

And according to your investigation it seems it's Ivy's fault, so this is
one more reason it shouldn't stop the release :-)

No.

There is an issue with IVY + ANT running out of permmem
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42742
But it is not a regression - so should not stop the release.

Fine with me.

I've stumbled over an issue with a combination of presetdef, import
and (sub)ant that I need to look into, but I hope to have it ready by
then.

This has only existed on trunk, not the 1.7 branch.

great!

the other change I made was to some of the resource interfaces; that 
should stay out until we are happy.

Also, there's been a discussion on apache-repository about whether pom 
files should have the apache license in (more importantly, there is now 
uncertainty about what uses we can make of the metadata in all the 
existing POM files)

Once i've clarified what needs to go in, I'll patch the poms of both 
branches.

which reminds me, what is the svn command for moving stuff over from one 
to another

This is in the 1.7 branch.

Easiest is to do it at the time. ;-)


Most of the class in the 1.7 branch are similar to the trunk, so
it should be fairly each to patch the changes in.

I've been working against svn trunk recently, some of the things I've
added/changed I'd like to be in the release I suppose I have to
manually copy them back to the ANT_17 branch? (/me hates svn
branch/merge :( )

OK.

seems fixed, and it was on 1.8.x anyway.

Is there anything we've added to the 1.8.x branch that should be moved 
over? The big project logger is the main thing I've added; I love this 
for big ivy-managed builds where lots of things get run
  -it prints the project name of every target
  -it prints when you enter/exit projects
  -it doesnt print anything for a target with no output

here's a bit of a trace:

 >ant test

Buildfile: build.xml

======================================================================
Entering project
In /home/slo/Projects/SmartFrog/Forge/core/components/jetty
======================================================================

jetty.maybe-ivy-init:
[ivy:configure] :: Ivy 2.0.0-alpha2-incubating - 20070712142751 :: 
http://incubator.apache.org/ivy/ ::
[ivy:configure] ivy:configure is deprecated, please use the data type 
ivy:settings instead

jetty.maybe-ivy-resolve:

so, I'm in the jetty project....
