Resigning as RM for 4.1.x

To be honest, I really don't think I have the time or energy at present
to continue on as RM for the 4.1.x stuff, no matter what we do. After
being away at confs for ~3weeks, I have quite a bit of a backlog.

Who wants to take over. I still am signing up to do the macOS and
Linux 32/64 bit builds.

I think when people can download 4.1.4, then they can also downlaod 
4.1.3 to do a downgrade install. Or do you mean to write 1-2 sentences 
into the release notes?

We will need to make sure that people know how to get 4.1.3 if they run into the issue.

sounds good.

Then we can still decide if the amount of issues is high enough to put 
effort into a 4.1.5 release. Or move on to 4.2.0.

I am 100% fine w/ this. It is a known regression however, but we can
say that w/ the release of 4.1.4 we are committing ourselves to a 4.1.5 in 30-60 days.

I support Jim as release manager. I see no big issues, that we can not solve together.

I can take over at 4.1.5, if needed, but not before. I am sorry. Because currently I am not up to date about the release and have time restraints until 20th.

For 4.1.5 we need to communicate, explain the situation. And we should think also more about timelines.

All the best
Peter

I hope you will stay on. I am not sure I would have made the same 
decision as you about the release number, but in my opinion part of the 
RM role is bike-shedding prevention by making decisions.

I hope that the need to test the patch ASAP does not get lost in the 
discussion of what to call it.

Agreed. But it is a serious discussion since such policy is NOT part
of the standard release expectations. Their must be a 1-1 match between
released source-code AND a SVN tag (or a specific SVN revision).

I think this is a reasonable way...

Another (minor) regression is the Polish dictionary (shame on me!).
Already fixed in trunk and committed to 4.1.5 by Jim.

I may have found another regression, but I need some time to test it and
put it in words...
And then it needs some time fixing it.

So +1 for the timeline.

Yes, let's avoid drama, really.

But I'll still send this "modest proposal", based on experience:

1) We just go ahead and release 4.1.4 as scheduled (i.e., we release 
RC4), at some point within the next 7 days. The "synchronize labels" bug 
becomes a "Known Issue" in the release notes.

2) Starting today, we incorporate fixes on the AOO415 branch and aim at 
releasing it in, say, early November; AOO415 is only meant to fix 4.1.4 
regressions and we try to be reasonably strict about this (i.e., we try 
to avoid the never-ending "just another small fix" syndrome).

3) We still wait until, say, end of October before producing RCs for 
4.1.5 since this gives us the time to receive reports of other possible 
bugs/regressions to be fixed in 4.1.5.

Can this work? This covers the case where someone finds a bug the day 
after release; this way we have a window for fixing it in a short term.

My suggestion to keep 4.1.4 was simply pragmatic: those who never 
updated the metadata might believe that 4.1.4->4.1.5 is only a one-line 
change, while the change affects dozens of files and hundreds of XML 
files related to updates and living on another domain. Not something 
that can be done in 10 minutes. Deleting the tag was bad, but we never 
relied on tags: 4.1.3 was tagged several months after it was released. 
To us a release is/was simply the distributed source package, not a tag 
in SVN. But this is a side discussion.

Now the question is, is it OK for us to go ahead, release 4.1.4 with 
this "known issue" and commit to fixing this and other possible 
regressions in 4.1.5 next month? Technically, the Release Manager (and I 
still consider Jim to be in charge, of course!) has the last word. But 
I'd say everybody is welcome to comment.

Regards,
   Andrea.

I feel bad leaving RM at this stage... we are so close, and I don't want
us to lose momentum. But I also don't want there to be drama (which
is very, very tiring).

As I said, if I stay on, and am still "picked" as RM, my plan would
be to simply move on to 4.1.5 which is, at this state, the EXACT same
as the AOO414 tag w/ the exception related to the version numbering.

But I want/need feedback from the group if I should stay or if someone
is willing to take up semi-immediately.

Hi all --

It's true that changing from 4.1.4 to 4.1.5 requires a bit of work, but 
really not all that much. It would be better to have Jim continue as RM 
regardless IMO and others can pitch in. Once the branch is copied to 
4.1.5, others can pitch in to do version updates. Non-committers  can 
submit patches toward this endeavor.

I will still help with collecting bugs and resolutions toward this.

IMO, it would be better to have someone step up asap... if no one does, or
can, I may be able to move some things around...

Either way we would have to update the metadata:

https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127168

It would be quite risky to introduce a fourth digit without testing at
this stage...

Every version numbering else than x.y.z is not working with our download 
script.

And no, it doesn't make sense to invest hours to adjust it only to 
support this one-time-thing. ;-)

I'm confused. How does calling it 4.1.4.1 or 4.1.4a or even 4.1.4buffalo help?

What exactly does it make easier? We still need to rebuild. And it
doesn't even help w/ the Wiki pages that would need to be renamed.

Figuring out how to do a 4.1.4a or 4.1.4.1 release is probably harder
than adjusting all the knobs to change the release to 4.1.5.

Does it matter? There is a first time for everything.  Why throw all the 4.1.4 work away and start again with 4.1.5?  
Or call it 4.1.4.1

Put the patch in and call the release 4.1.4a.  Delete existing 4.1.4 versions.

That's sad news. :(

I have no time until 20th. I would sign up for RM for 4.2.0. (And optional 4.1.5 if we decide for this approach.)
However I would not do any building only the organisational part of collecting bugs and tracking / triggering the advancement.

If that's fine for all.

One sidenote for all. We need to explain the situation somehow if we do not sneak the patch in. ( it seems to be a small thing )

All the best
