Hi, I have a feeling that with all the release work going on it's a good time to kick off the release process.
We have - by my count - 3 bundles under vote - 5 bundles with SNAPSHOT versions in the launchpad - 1 bundle which should be released and included in the Launchpad Piece of cake :-) My suggestion is that we: - conclude all running votes - start release votes for all SNAPSHOT dependencies - no longer include any new SNAPSHOT dependencies in the launchpad unless we consider it a release blocker More details: 1. Bundles under vote: - Apache Sling Commons Scheduler 2.6.2 - Apache Sling Installer Core 3.8.10 - Apache Sling Authentication Service 1.3.26 Since the votes are started I guess there's no harm in waiting a couple more days. 2. Unreleased bundles in launchpad: - org.apache.sling/org.apache.sling.commons.log/5.0.1-SNAPSHOT [1] - org.apache.sling/org.apache.sling.engine/2.6.7-SNAPSHOT [2] - org.apache.sling/org.apache.sling.launchpad.content/2.0.9-SNAPSHOT [3] - org.apache.sling/org.apache.sling.extensions.webconsolebranding/1.0.1- SNAPSHOT [4] - org.apache.sling/org.apache.sling.jcr.base/3.0.1-SNAPSHOT [5] I went through the issues targeted for the next release and none of them look critical to me, but I could obviously miss something. Does anyone think any of these bundles should need more work or can I just start the release votes? 3. New stuff going into the launchpad - see my email at [6], I think we should release the installer content package support bundle and include it in the launchpad. - should we wait for a resolution of the 'Address Launchpad homepage information architecture' issue? [7] . I think it would be a great addition, but depends on how much we need/want to wait. Thanks for reading to the end, and waiting for your thoughts on this.
