Proposal to slightly change the naming convention for releases
Hi all,
I would like to propose a small change to the way we name releases, specifically the first release in a branch.
The current naming convention is the following:
a) the name of the release branch is apache-ofbiz-YY.MM where YY.MM is the year and month of when the branch was created
b) all releases coming out from a branch have the major release number equal to the branch's YY.MM
c) the first release in the branch doesn't have a minor release number; the name of the first release is then: apache-ofbiz-YY.MM
d) all subsequent releases (second, third etc...) have a sequential 2-digits minor release number (01, 02,...): the second release is apache-ofbiz-YY.MM.01, the third release is apache-ofbiz-YY.MM.02 etc...
I would like to change the rules to be:
a) the name of the release branch is apache-ofbiz-YY.MM where YY.MM is the year and month of when the branch was created
b) all releases coming out from a branch have a major release number equal to the branch's YY.MM and a minor release number (sequential 2-digits): the first release is apache-ofbiz-YY.MM.01, the second release is apache-ofbiz-YY.MM.02 etc...
We could start the adoption of the new naming convention with the upcoming (April?) first release in the 11.04 branch: instead of "apache-ofbiz-11.04" it will be "apache-ofbiz-11.04.01".
What do you think?
Jacopo

I agree that this would be clearer for users, now that we release more often

Hi all,
I would like to propose a small change to the way we name releases,
specifically the first release in a branch.
The current naming convention is the following:
a) the name of the release branch is apache-ofbiz-YY.MM where YY.MM is the
year and month of when the branch was created
b) all releases coming out from a branch have the major release number
equal to the branch's YY.MM
c) the first release in the branch doesn't have a minor release number;
the name of the first release is then: apache-ofbiz-YY.MM
d) all subsequent releases (second, third etc...) have a sequential
2-digits minor release number (01, 02,...): the second release is
apache-ofbiz-YY.MM.01, the third release is apache-ofbiz-YY.MM.02 etc...
I would like to change the rules to be:
a) the name of the release branch is apache-ofbiz-YY.MM where YY.MM is the
year and month of when the branch was created
b) all releases coming out from a branch have a major release number equal
to the branch's YY.MM and a minor release number (sequential 2-digits):
the first release is apache-ofbiz-YY.MM.01, the second release is
apache-ofbiz-YY.MM.02 etc...

(April?) first release in the 11.04 branch: instead of
"apache-ofbiz-11.04" it will be "apache-ofbiz-11.04.01".
What do you think?
