Hi, I'm reaching a point where the cookbook can't help me anymore. I'm thinking about how my module in the argouml-java project could be distributed (this might be of interest for the other module authors, too), so let me come up with some questions:
1. Should the module be separately downloadable an installable? OK, in case of argouml-java it is planned to be shipped with ArgoUML eventually. But there might be need for a patch, or one will provide an enhanced version. So I think this is highly desirable. I propose to have it organized in the file sharing section of the subproject homepage. 2. Versioning, how should this be done? For a module package that goes into the ext directory, I'd expect that somehow the ArgoUML versions under which it runs should be announced. And there should be different versions available, to support more ArgoUML versions or to allow maintainance and further development. How to organize this? Must the version number of a module follow some rule? Where should it be diplayed? I propose to handle it in a similar way like eclipse plugins. 3. Notifying of available module upgrades in ArgoUML, will we have that? I propose to have this not solved by each module, but by the module subsystem of ArgoUML, and making the use of it optionally for module developers. I think we can first live without that. 4. Can we agree on a roadmap for the distribution of argouml-java? OK, I think it will not get into 0.26, because it adds not (enough) user value and bloats the distribution packages. On the other hand, which versions of ArgoUML should be supported? Is it possible to run it even with 0.24? I propose to minimally support 0.26. To get it tested by more people, should it go into the 0.25.x and 0.27.x releases? And if the answer to question 1 is yes, then when can I (or must Linus do this) make it available for download? I propose to make it downloadable as early as possible. Maybe the cookbook can later be updated? Regards, Thomas -- GMX startet ShortView.de. Hier findest Du Leute mit Deinen Interessen!
