Geir, Oops. Sorry about that. My main intent here is to mark the 0.0.1 code for a reference point as it develops. When I am about ready for my 0.0.2, we'll talk about more specifics. In the mean time, last night was a long one since I wanted to push this out the door for the many questions that are starting to come in.

Release has a very specific meaning at Apache, which means that the project has voted to release a version, and thus it's being done by the ASF as an entity, rather than by an individual. We'll talk about this more as we get further along. If you want to mark a version as a milestone of some sort there are two ways. The first is that you can create a branch via a svn copy into a /branch directory or something. However, at this stage of the project (very early) I'd simply note the SVN revision number for people so they can check out a version that they can build. We don't put tarballs in svn, as a tarball should be recreate-able right from SVN. While where we are now with bootJVM is very impressive, I think we need simply a marker in time because the code is so rapidly improving and I don't think anyone will need to go back and get binaries from this point - being able to just check out the revision and build will be sufficient. geir On Oct 19, 2005, at 1:29 PM, Apache Harmony Bootstrap JVM wrote: > > Everyone, > > I now think I have the basics of SVN release administration > working well enough to cut a release.
