[dbutils] Project release cycle

[Alexey Anufriev <ic...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I would like to clarify the reason why there were no releases for so long
time period? There have been solved some critical bugs, and it would be
nice to get them live. But instead, while waiting for a release, we need to
fork the lib and release it internally ourselves.

Could you please coordinate the schedule of releases? If you need any help
I can also assist here.

Regards,
Alexey

Hi Alexey,

We are volunteers here, there is no traditional schedule or management.

Your message now puts dbutils on our collective todo list for a release.
Personally, I plan on releasing "soon" lang, io, pool, dbcp, cvs, text,
configuration, but likely not in that order.

Hi,

The reason is probably the lack of volunteer time by one of the committers.

I am planning a release soon as I am leaving my current $work and must have
1 month in-between jobs to release components. I can try dbutils, but no
promises since I never released it (not sure if I ever worked on it). But
again, if I find myself having to work on a $project during that time, then
I'd have to postpone these releases (i.e. I would not be able to
_volunteer_ for this.)

One thing that is always welcome is reviews of pull requests and issues
that could block a release (e.g. any regression in the code, RAT or Jacimp
reports missing, increasing test coverage, etc). If you have time to help
with that it would be great.

Cheers
Bruno
