At a certaint level geotools needs to not care what geoserver branch/functionality structure is - only that they are putting their active developent on trunk and that they have a build working against trunk to help with stability - aka don't offload instability onto the geotools project without providing some safety checks. > Leaving aside legacy branches that get only bugfix treatment (1.3.x, > soonish 1.4.x), how can geoserver lay out its braches to meet its > functionality requirements? Perhaps think what Andrea would say about > stability before suggesting that gs-trunk would work well on gt-trunk > (without re-thinking how gt-trunk is currently a big old R&D experiment) geotools/trunk - latest produces milestones 2.4.0-M0 geoserver/trunk - latest produces milestones 1.6.0-M0 udig/trunk - latest produces milestones 1.2.0-M0
geotools/branches/2.3.x - produces point releases 2.3.1, 2.3.2 ... geoserver/branches/1.5.x - produces point releases 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2 ... udig/branches/1.1.x - produces point releases 1.1.1, 1.1.2 etc... I know Saul that I am asking us how we can change the rules of our game; there is a tension between trying to push the library forward to accomplish new things - and asking for stability. I need representatives from both camps on trunk talking to each other rather then playing a waiting game to see when it is safe to go forward (or forking when the library does not move fast enough). ...it could be the new rules do not allow us to go forward (at the very least that will help burnout). I hope the unsupported module system does allow for a different compromise then we have had in the past. Jody ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
