Hi,
When I worked on the scripts generating and publishing the Maven 2
artifacts, I added a release history to the maven2/README.txt file. This
file exists on every branch.
I did not think a lot about how this would work out as we publish new
releases. Its only purpose is to serve as a record for artifacts
released by the Derby community. I don't think Derby users will read it.
Keeping it up to date on all branches seems like a drag. Here are some
options, including the tedious one:
a) Update trunk, merge to all branches.
b) Update trunk, merge to release branch.
Merging may not work here, so we may have to simply update the
file directly on both trunk and the release branch.
c) Update trunk only.
I have chosen to always update trunk so that we have a place where we
keep the full history.
Any opinions on this?
I'm leaning towards (c) for simplicity. I prefer to avoid (a).
Regards,
