I know I've said it before, and I know Roy would wig out - but I'm not wigging
out, just trying to educate :) This wasn't a release vote, it was a poll.
It's always good to have a poll ("Should we try a beta now?") - you know that
nobody has something they needed another few days to work on. Or maybe someone
goes ahead and commits some code they had in a checkout, that just needed a bit
more testing first. That's cool :)
But the ASF votes on source code tarballs, we don't vote on trees, or the state
of trees, or the good of having more releases from a particular branch.
Anytime a committer wants, they are absolutely free to tag the tree and tar the
build. But at that moment, it's a 'plain old tarball', it's not a release (even
if there was a vote beforehand like this one.)
Announce the tarball and ask for a release vote. (To avoid confusion, I'd
really encourage the project to create an http://tomcat.apache.org/dev/dist/
location for such things - but those details are entirely up to you all.)
When the *tarball* has 3 +1's, more + than -, it's a release, an honest to
goodness release. If you want to offer folks to vote on alpha/beta/ga that
is ok too. [Acutally, 4.1 is so stable, I wonder if beta makes any sense
anymore, unless some refactoring introduced some new uncertainty.]
I keep rehashing this, because of my role on incubator. If established projects
can't get it right - what hope have we for our podlings who are just learning.
So -do- cut the tarball, but please conduct a vote on the release image,
not on the state of svn. It looks like you have lots of willing folks to vote
on that release :)
Thanks for stepping up to RM this, Mark!

The release of 4.1.32 beta is therefore approved by the Tomcat PMC.
I'll cut it this weekend with the announcement going out once it is on
the mirrors.

Mark
