Speaking as a maintainer who is not at all involved in the Cherokee development itself... I'd rather you didn't do that. Of course, 1.0 speaks of a software which is quite more mature. I guess that, given its already long life cycle, and the slow amount of changes it has got, 0.5 should have been 1.0 (compare, i.e., against 0.4 which had a release every couple of weeks - 0.5 has only seen five releases in around two years. That speaks well about its stability! But, of course, at least from my perspective, 0.4 slowly morphed into 0.5, and 0.5 was basically declaring 0.4 to be "ready for a wider adoption". I'm happy that the first version we officially included in a Debian stable release was 0.5. Now, what about 0.6? Well, there has been a lot of changes, of course. I've only started looking at it - but I would not say it has been widely deployed and tested to mark it as stable - not in Debian's eyes, at least. I'd favor calling it 0.9. Now, I don't know which other distributions already carry Cherokee - We do. And I'd love our next release (Lenny) to include, of course, the best Cherokee possible. Debian is currently targetting for a full freeze on July [1], expecting to release Lenny on September. Of course, everybody expects the dates to somehow slip - but in any case... Cherokee 0.6.x has been "just around the corner" for many months already. I don't expect to be including in Debian (maybe in "experimental") the first release... Anyway, whatever the chosen versioning is, I urge you to have it ready the earliest possible - So our users can get to have it :) Although Cherokee is not (yet?) a very popular Debian package [2], it is potentially a very good distribution channel :) [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/02/msg00002.html [2] http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=cherokee -- Gunnar Wolf - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 PGP key 1024D/8BB527AF 2001-10-23 Fingerprint: 0C79 D2D1 2C4E 9CE4 5973 F800 D80E F35A 8BB5 27AF _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://cherokee-project.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cherokee
