When do we ship?

Hi guys,

I've been unable to test RC3 and, as a consequence, I did not vote on it.
So I feel I am not in a comfortable position to put up a vote.
But, seriously, why wait any longer?

But it would be very, very good to have the website in the best possible
condition when we release. (Of course we are software developers and not
web-designers (but not to forget to say that it looks quite good at the
moment))
In the time-frame, when the release gets announced I hope for some
bigger interest. IMO, the chance is good to get mentioned in the related
new tickers. The first impression potential new users get is very
important.
I know, I act the same: Read an interesting article, klick the link to
the project website and decide whether it's worth to download and give
it a chance.

Well, not an issue as I'm faster.. ;-)
Our website and the documentation site for james 2.3.0 is created with 
maven2, so this is why I care of it as part of the release.

I prefer to have consistency between what we put in the documentation 
site for 2.3.0 and what as been released in 2.3.0: version specific docs 
are part of the server distribution.

Non an issue: I think you concentrated too much on this non-issue... 
This will not block anything because I worked hard to publish the 
updated site including the last documentation.

I'll fix this tomorrow. We waited 2 years for a release, I don't think 
that we want to release with bad urls if we know we have them.

I don't say that the bug does not exists: the bug may be everywhere, so 
if we don't know if it is in james or in connector or in the jvm is not 
of help.
Norman is running an *Xmx5M* james using mysql since few weeks, and I'm 
running an Xmx64M using files repository since a month: so it is nothing 
that is triggered so often in standard configurations.

I think we can wait at least for you to send us the cleaned config.xml 
before releasing 2.3.0: I think few more eyes looking at your config.xml 
worth the wait.

Again, please instead of replying to this messages you could help 
sending us more informations to be able to investigate and reproduce it. 
you still cannot be sure the bug exists in james source code or in james 
bundled libraries. Imo we have to fix this: I'm sorrt but if no one is 
able to reproduce it but you then it will be closed as won't fix.
I don't say there is no bug, I simply say that we don't need that issue 
opened if we don't have any clue on the cause of the bug and we don't 
have complete informations about the environment (and the configuration) 
where the bug has been experienced.

Please try the time to clean your config.xml and add it to JIRA. If you 
don't have this time please at least select some trusted people and send 
it privately. I hope you can find at least one people you trust that 
will have the time to clean it and upload it to JIRA.

Ok, thats one perspective, the other is: "In all those years they
never put out a stable release fixing those bugs I have lurking here.
If they could at least fix _them_ and give me a better performing
system."

Right. Perfect. But at some point you have to get pragmatic. You are
not really saying we should close every single little issue, are you?

I am not saying they are uneccessary or aren't safe to do.
That's not my point.

Fair enough. But set this into relation to the dramatic memory
consumption improvements which have happend over the last month. With
that in mind, releasing with JAMES-592 remaining open does not look so
bad to me. Nobody said this is a blocker, au contraire: Some of us
even wanted to close this thing ;-)

The whole reason for me to rant over this topis is: I am afraid we
might fall back into "small-fixes-every-day mode" on release branch
like it was a few months back on trunk.

:-) never releasing anything is something I know from sourceforge, not
from Apache. ;-)

but ok, lets go for RC4.probably I have time to test this one, then.

Yes for me it should be closed as "won't fix". We can reopen it later 
if  we really feel like that... I not whould see it as stopper for 2.3 
cause only noel have this problem.. So it seems to be not so common.

No Fear ;-) I just don't feal thats the right "way". I agree 2.3.0 is 
much more stable then 2.2.0 , but for me realising with bugs is 
something i know from microsoft and not from apache projects :-P
So let us fix the bugs release a new RC4 and after that publish final.

There is nothing stopping us to release RC3 as 2.3.0 final if we want to 
do that. What happens in svn and what we want to release have not to be 
necessarily synchronized.

I think that we should start a vote for RC4 as soon as possible (and 
after a brief test I will be +1 for RC4 release) and I would be -0 for 
releasing RC3 as 2.3.0 now.

We waited more than 2 years to make this release and I we need to 
establish credibility for this release after 2 years of inactivity: imho 
a release with *known* bugs after so much time is a bad thing from a 
user perspective.
People already has an RC to use and we are actively supporting anyone 
trying to use 2.3.0RCs much more than people using 2.2.0. If we were 
name M$ then we would probably have released 2.3.0a1 as 3.0, 2.3.0a2 as 
3.0SP1, 2.3.0a3 as 3.0SP2, 2.3.0b1 as 4.0 and so on... Imho the RC

We have to evaluate each change: I think that the convert fix is safe. 
The serial fix is needed in trunk. I think we should add also in 2.3.0 
to make it more clear that the classes are compatible, but the change 
should be safe, also.


If anyone think we are ready for a release and want to start a vote then 
go ahead: AFAIK releases cannot be vetoed, so a simple majority is 
needed. I'm currently -0 for a release for 2 causes:

1) I would like to include fixes committed by Norman today

As I see it we are not only having changes to the documentation but to
the code base as well, which leads us to RC4. RC4 could have been
RC1... for 2.3.1.

We will always have bugs, even known bugs. So this should not be the
_only_ criteria for not releasing. It has to be weighted against the
nasty old bugs we have in the current stable release and if our user
base would be better off with the new ones instead of the old ones.
;-)

The fixes we are doing now (docs int 2.3-branch, serial nos, mime
conversion disabling) are all neccessary, but should they hold the
release? Remember, we could publish a "known problems" documentation,
too.

Huh?  Why do we care about Maven 2 for 2.3.0?  I don't care about Maven 2
for anything ever, but it certainly should not be a blocker for JAMES 2.3.0.

We can update our web site indepedendently of the release cycle for the
product.

JAMES 2.3 is a product release, and should not be blocked on anything
related to Maven repositories.

Fair enough.  Non-critical.

The bug exists.  I have no time right now to track it down, and everytime I

I won't close something that exists.  And no one else seems to have either
the time or awareness of the problem to look.  Whatever is leaking, and I
still see it, is slow enough that it can be worked around.  I have so far
not found any evidence to suggest that it is related to volume.  So I'd
release with a caveat.

RC3 has been published 
(http://people.apache.org/dist/james/server/binaries/) even if we, 
maybe, never announced it! We at least changed the homepage to reflect 
the news.

Are you talking about the final release?

In roadmap for the 2.3.0 final we have:

Fix m2 projects to not lookup dependencies on ibiblio, to simplify the 
website build and to include 2.2.0 and 2.3.0 docs
- http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-634

Move server-site documents from james/server repository to 
james/site/server repository
- http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-618

Invalid (outdated) urls in config files.
- http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-626

I think I'll take care of the 3 above in the next couple of days: I'm 
waiting to close the vote about the m2 site changes (I'll close it later 
today by lazy consensus).

We would also have more feedback on the leak issue opened by Noel: I'm 
not fine releasing a 2.3.0 final with an unknown leak issue opened in 
JIRA. Either we decide this is not confirmed and close it until we can 
confirm it, or we investigate on the cause of the leak. Until now we 
don't know if the leak is confirmed to be in james or is confirmed to be 
somewhere else (JVM/connectorj). PS: one of my production james 
(something near rc2) is up since 1 month and with a default Xmx (64MB) 
and I had no OOM (this is an almost default 2.3 configuration with file 
repositories).

Agreed, it would be cool to have the web site finished for the
release, at least for the release announcement.

I also have an rc2 running on one server till almost 3 weeks without a 
OOM. It use mysql and use  -Xmx5m -Xms2m. thats why i want to close it 
as "not reproducable".
