This thread replaces the first > VOTE thread! > > The vote is to open up a separate parallel line of development, called > unstable (on trunk), where non-back-compatible changes, slated for the > next major release, may be safely developed. > > But it's not a free for all: the back compat break must still be > carefully tracked in detail (maybe in CHANGES, maybe in a separate > more detailed "guide" -- tbd), including migration instructions, so > that this becomes the "migration guide" on how users can move to the > new major release. If there are changes that break the index, we will > try very hard to create an index migration tool. > > The stable line of development (on a branch) will get > non-back-compat-breaking changes, and will be released more often (as > minor releases and possible also .Z bugfix releases). > > Changes will go into unstable first and then be back ported to the > stable branch on a case by case basis as long as they don't break > back-compat. This may happen commit by commit, or be periodically > swept, or some combination (like flex) -- we can hash out this > logistical detail out with time. > > This is a procedural vote -- we need a majority of the Solr/Lucene > committers for this to pass. > > Please vote! > > My vote is +1. > > Mike > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
