[digester] VOTE: create release 1.7
Hi All,
I'd like to propose that we do a release 1.7 of Digester.
I'm willing to act as release manager for this.
The reasons for doing a release are:
* one digester user has asked for it as there is a fix for
something they are using, and they don't want to release
their product with a snapshot
* there's not likely to be any development activity on Digester
in the medium future; digester is now very stable.
You can find an up-to-date RELEASE-NOTES file here:
http://people.apache.org/~skitching/digester-1.7/RELEASE-NOTES.txt
The release plan is:
* create an RC1 tag dir
* build an RC1 tar/zip/etc and put it on people.apache.org
* build an RC1 website and put it on people.apache.org
* hold a vote; fix and repeat until vote passes
* fix a few tab chars in files and unused import statements in code.
I don't want to do this before voting as the trivial changes will
make it more difficult for people to read the real diffs that
have happened since the last release.
* create a release tag dir
* follow the release procedures as documented here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/release.html
So could you please make your mark here :-)

No bugs exist; bugzilla just has 7 enhancement requests.
Well, there is one bug I'm just waiting on feedback from the reporter on
before closing.
I don't think any of the enhancement requests are worth delaying a
release for. In particular, no-one has shown any interest in actually
implementing any of them.
I did post a proposed patch for enhancement 34702 a while ago, but I've
decided I don't want to commit code just before a release, particularly
as there is a well-documented alternative solution in the examples
section.
Regards,
Simon

Well, there hasn't been much response on this! So far:
dion +1
PLEASE take a little time for this, otherwise a digester release will
not happen.
Before voting +1 there are two issues you need to consider:
a) is it an appropriate time for a digester release
b) is the release plan ok?
c) is simon the right person?
a:
* have a look at bugzilla for digester, and verify that there is only
one outstanding bug entry, with a patch already committed (and it
only occurs with the Aelfred xml parser). In fact, it might be
closed by the time you look.
* have a look at the commit history for digester
(svn log -v -rnnnnn:HEAD proper/digester/trunk)
and verify that there really isn't much action going on
* have a look at the release notes, and verify that there is some
stuff worth releasing.
I can't think of anything else that is relevant. So if these all look ok
to you, then I ask that you vote +1 on getting a release out.
b:
* read the release plan (in my original email; link is below).
c:
* I'm the only active digester maintainer
* No-one else has volunteered
* I don't eat babies [1] or summon demons [2]
(do those disqualify a release manager anyway?)
So unless you have a particular concern, then I ask that you vote +1 on
me being the release manager.
Note that this is not an *approval of a release candidate*, it's just a
vote to get the process started. There will also be a vote to approve a
specific release candidate build, at which time I hope people will
devote a little time to downloading and testing the .tar.gz, inspecting
the updated website, etc. - all that usual stuff.

[1] Babies have no taste.
[2] Daemons are a different matter.
