I have one comment here. Based on our last discussions it seemed more appropriate to name the new branch "branches/roller_1.x" because it represents any continued development in the 1.x series of Roller. If we want to capture a snapshot of just what is going into a specific release then I suggest we do like Henri mentioned in a previous email and create a tags/ directory which can be just the files that make up a specific release. So that would mean we would have this ... branches/roller-1.x (any continued development against 1.x happens here) trunk (current development branch representing 2.x) tags/roller-1.3 (snapshot for the 1.3 release) ... then after the 2.0 release ... tags/roller-2.0 etc,etc. the idea being that we keep the number of development branches limited to just 1 branch per major version number, but we can still keep a record of each release using the tags dir. does that make sense? or is that convoluted? -- Allen > > We've discussed the above before, so I don't believe we need a vote. > > Does anybody object to doing this now? > > Regarding the release file: I was planning on releasing on Java.Net, > but I'd prefer to use ASF infrastructure if possible -- so Henri, > please advise. > > - Dave > > > On Oct 20, 2005, at 7:40 PM, Allen Gilliland wrote: > > > On Thu, 2005-10-20 at 16:27, Henri Yandell wrote: > >> On 10/16/05, Henri Yandell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>> On 10/16/05, Dave Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>>> Trunk is still 1.3 > >>>> > >>>> Roller 2.0 is still in the roller_2.0 branch > >>>> > >>>> I'd like to make the 1.3 release next week, since we've already > >>>> voted > >>>> on it. > >> > >> How are you planning to go about the release?
