1.3-final builds as 1.4-rc1-dev?

[Jeff Wong <je...@savagebeast.com>]

Hello,

I noticed that Lucene 1.3-final source builds a JAR file whose version
number is "1.4-rc1-dev".  What does this mean?  Will 1.4-final build as
"1.5-rc1-dev"?

Just Curious,

Jeff

It means we screwed up the timing somehow and changed the build file 
version after we built the binary version, is my guess.

We'll be more careful with the 1.4 release and make sure this doesn't 
happen then.

Ah... this seems perfectly reasonable!  And I concur.... if its not the 
exact JAR then it shouldn't have the "final" stamp of approval.

Probably.  If you modify the sources of a 1.3-final release, and build 
them, you're not building 1.3-final, but a derivative.  We could call it 
1.3-dev or something, but that would be strange, as 1.3 development is 
closed.  All development is now towards 1.4-based releases.  As a 
side-effect, even if you make no changes to the 1.3-final sources and 
build them, it builds as 1.4-rc1-dev.  I think that is still safer than 
calling it 1.3-final, since 1.3-final should be reserved for the exact 
jar file downloaded from Apache.  In general, anything ending with -dev 
doesn't have any guarantees, and the version before that is only meant 
to be suggestive.
