Hi, The recent filevault package plugin release had a very low voting participation and I had to wait almost a week until I got enough votes. I understand that people are busy and it takes some time to truly verify the release.
What can we do to simplify or improve the releasing of filevault and plugin? >From my side, I'll try to: - send an intent-to-release mail 2-3 days before the release, like Julian does - try to schedule the release at the beginning of the week Additionally I like to make the voting period more flexible by: - extending the maximum voting period to 1 week (5 business days) which is ok, according to [0] - change and clarify that the minimum voting period of 72 hours is measured over 3 business days So the voting text could say: --- Please vote on releasing this package as Apache Jackrabbit FileVault .... The vote is open for a minimum of 72 hours during business days and passes if a majority of at least three +1 Jackrabbit PMC votes are cast. The vote fails if not enough votes are cast after 1 week (5 business days). --- WDYT? Regards, Toby [0] https://apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#release-approval
