I modified some severities and closed some. But the blocker bugs (the ones I considered) are all closed. You could do a mass change on the existing bugs, but I am sure that causes some discussion and especially people setting the fields back to their preferences (at least that happend a few times in the past). > I'm not sure I follow you about the concern of using > maven-release-plugin with a multi-module maven project.

Well yes, I use the release plugin aswell (in fact I did a company internal release of VFS 2.1 with it already). I think it was also used for the 2.0 release. But there are some things (especially the tagging of the SVN and the tag in the POM) which is currently not very preferable in apache commons I think. I would not use it for a release (especially as rolling back and revovering would be painful). But I agreee with you, it should work. > Are there instructions on running clirr? I'm not familiar with the > tool (and I don't see any configuration in the top-level pom.xml). You can run the "mvn -Psandbox clean site" build (possibly follwoed by a site tst deploy). The clirr report is part of it. I had a site build from the snapshot on people.apache.org, but I havent checked if/how the new server would look like. So currently you need to run it locally. > Do you have the karma to make a 2.2 version on JIRA?

As in: the common > base-class for all of the VFS Providers has changed (and would > require changes from anyone downstream that has built their own)? It refers to (binary) backward compatibility. For a client a new method in an interface is a compatible change which fits into a minor update. However when you have to implement a interface as a VFS provider you wont be binary and source compatible. For most classes it is not a problem since the mehtod is provided by the AbstractBaseClass for an interface (but not all Interfaces have that and it was never mandatory for an provider to use them). > I can try to start pounding on an initial RC in the evenings this > week. I'll be sure to reach out as I need some more help/karma ;) Anything more needed from me?
