Hey folks, Hopefully quick policy question here:
Once a project is under proposal for incubation, what is the foundation policy on that project making releases outside of Apache from its current home? For example, suppose there's an open source project FooBar, with a public release FooBar 1.0.0 in use by various people out in the world. FooBar is then proposed to the incubator. During the discussion/voting timeframe, someone discovers a bug in FooBar 1.0.0, and the team would like to release FooBar 1.0.1 from the project's current home (eg github). Would this be an issue? More controversial variant: How about early during the incubation period, while the project is still in the process of transitioning the necessary infrastructure, etc, into the ASF repositories? Assuming that the project is making good faith efforts towards making a release compatible with ASF guidelines, would it be allowed to make "external" releases during this initial period of incubation, for the purposes of bug fixes? Thanks Todd
