Mynewtites,
It looks like master has stabilized, and we're pretty much done with B1
bugs:
The remaining issues are here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20MYNEWT%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%20v0_8_0_beta1%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC
They consist of:
- Adding a download to the downloads page, which contains the release
- Fixing license dependencies
The latter, I think, has been successfully resolved on dev@mynewt and
general@incubator -- the consensus being that we can go ahead with the
release, and remove the LGPL dependency in the newt tool after the B1
release, so long as we add a notice in the release notes and NOTICE file.
SO, I'll defer to the other mentors here, but I believe the process is:
- Add release notes to the mynewt distribution
- Tag the tree with a B1 release tag (mynewt_0_8_0_b1_tag)
- Start a [VOTE] thread to [VOTE] on the Mynewt release (along with the
given tag)
- Should that [VOTE] go through, that tag can then be built into a
series of release artifacts:
- Source tarballs of each repository
- A build of newt for Mac OS X and Linux
- That can then be posted on the Mynewt website, along with release notes.
Does this sound right?
If so, I'll add release notes, tag, and start the [VOTE] thread.
Thanks,
Sterling
