Mentors, We're having a discussion about voting on our release process documentation (at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=66854770). The following two things came up and I think it'd be good to have Mentor input.
In the documentation, we have the following: Creation of the Maintenance Release should follow exactly the same set of > steps as creating the Feature Release as outlined above, but with two > exception. First, the version incremented on the maintenance release > should be the MR++ so that the release is named 0.[FR].[MR++]. Second, if > a critical JIRA comes in that requires an immediate patch we may forego > steps 2-5 and immediately cut the MR release. A critical JIRA is something > that is either a security vulnerability or a functional show stopper . Do maintenance releases or releases that are due to urgent security issues still have to go through the normal apache voting process? Casey
