Re: M5 - 24hr notice of branch - done

Jeff's been traveling around the world speaking, so I'm helping him  
out with the creating the M5 copy (cvs term: "branch").

Here is the command for those interested:

svn copy https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/trunk https:// 
svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/branches/1.0-M5-QA

Done.  Renamed it to 1.0-M5.

If anyone checked out 1.0-M5-QA in the two hours since I created the  
copy, just run this:

   svn switch https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/branches/1.0-M5

That will make your local copy resolve to the URL above.

In fact, that will work if you want to switch your copy of trunk to  
the 1.0-M5 area and keep working.

Ok - I agree.  If there are any features that are must-haves, lets  
discuss and get them in and re-do the branch...

Agreed and here's a link to the list of open issues marked for M5: 

http://tinyurl.com/beq8r

IMO, if someone is the assignee for an issue that is marked for M5,
then it's their responsibility to look at the issue and make a
determination about whether it can be included in M5 or if it needs to
be pushed off to M6. Do others agree on this task? If not, please
suggest alternative(s).

Well, I've accepted all along that I have more things I want to get in than 
most people. I don't think there's widespread agreement to hold the branch 
until I'm done. At some point it will go into a real freeze mode and then 
I'll stop wherever I am. :)

Still, there are 78 JIRAs marked for M5, so someone ought to go through 
those and decide which should be put off until M6.

This is a lot of work to add to two branches.  Maybe we cut the branch 
too early.

OK, if this stuff is done now, add it and we'll recut the branch. If
it's not done now, save it for M6 (which, IMO, should start to be
rolled together within about one month of the release of M5). My point
is that we need to cut this release and move on. We can't keep holding
up things longer and longer until it's absolutely perfect (I'm
thinking about Matt Hogstrom's message regarding the message we're
sending the community by continuing to waffle). IMO, we need to
continue performing milestone releases until we feel that 1.0 is ready
to go. There's no crime in continuing with milestone releases.

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion, since I don't think I really 
said what I was talking about. But here's an example:

- Adding the management API for server logs. Without this, the console 
screen breaks if the Jetty GBean name is changed, and Tomcat does not work.

Now this is kind of a new feature, but kind of a bug fix too. I'd be 
inclined to put it in, since I think we'd like Tomcat to be fairly well 
supported, and the current code is arguably broken.

Some of the other JIRA's on my M5 list are:
- make the server require an argument if you want to give a list of 
Configurations to start on the command line
- make the deployer require an argument if you want it to run in offline 
mode
- invalid references in deployment plan should give meaningful error message 
to deployer
- breakage if more than one configuration manager found
- installer needs to be updated to reflect current product configuration 
options

Agreed, bug fixes we do put into both branches.  However, Aaron is 
talking about features, IIUC. 

Just to be succinct, my -1 is a real technical veto on adding features, 
not bug fixes, to both branches; though I am not intransigent and am 
willing to discuss it further.

But fixes we do...  for example, I still have to get those  
replacement files in place from Rick, and any fixes we do to pass CTS  
must go into HEAD, or we do this all over again next time.

I also like the idea of droping the QA designation in the branch name.  
I think that this is what was cause for confusion about the M4 branch.

OK. I still have stuff I want to get in, but I can add it to both M5 and 
HEAD.

In the future, could we drop "QA"? You know, make it just the "1.0-M6" 
branch. Again, more important once we have release we're committed to 
maintain instead of replace, but I think the "QA" in the name contributes to 
the confusion over whether it should be deleted or not after the target 
release.

Finally, is there a matching OpenEJB branch? If so, does the M5 Geronimo 
branch check it out for the "m:co" target?

Thanks,
Aaron
