0.8.1 is a branch (also) after a clean git clone you should be able to-do
git checkout -b 0.8.1 git checkout 0.8.1 would put you on the tag agreed though we need a better name for tags moving forward or even now, about to board a plane but how about if you change/retag the last commit as 0.8.1.0 this way we have branches without the last digit and use that for the fixes for a release? /******************************************* Joe Stein Founder, Principal Consultant Big Data Open Source Security LLC http://www.stealth.ly Twitter: @allthingshadoop <http://www.twitter.com/allthingshadoop> ********************************************/ On Thu, Mar 20, 2014 at 6:14 PM, Neha Narkhede <[email protected]>wrote: > Joe, > > I'm unable to take > patches< > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA/fixforversion/12326539/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:version-summary-panel > >on > 0.8.1 and the reason is probably that 0.8.1 is tag, not a branch. > Should > we create a branch and rename the tag to something like 0.8.1-release? > > Thanks, > Neha > > > On Wed, Mar 19, 2014 at 9:34 AM, Neha Narkhede <[email protected] > >wrote: > > > The problem with doing this point release from trunk is that it will pick > > up the offset management feature, which is pretty large and risky for the > > same reasons.
