No. SVN tag == SVN branch == shallow directory copy.


Depends on your meaning of "shallow" - changing a file in the original
does not change the file in the copy.


There is just a convention in SVN to distinguish branches and tags. Both
are the same thing, just in different places ( /branches and /tags).


Yes, I think that's what I said.


A CVS tag is something totally different. A CVS tag is a named set of
different file revisions and basically a kludge if you do not have a
repository-wide atomic revision number. Which subversion has.


What I meant was that the /tags directory is conventionally used in
SVN where one would use tags in CVS.

Rather than using the revision number for building/representing a
release, a tag is created, and then never updated. The tag tree thus
contains a specific revision of the the database, and is a way of
giving the revision a name.

As far as I can see, SVN tags are a convenience - one could just
document which revision constitutes the release, and use that to to do
the build or retrieve the files.

The branch was the correct term. You copy trunk into a branch
in case you need to update something. Once the release is done
you cut off the branch and stick a tag to it :-)

In SVN, there is no distinction between tags and branches (or indeed trunk).
They are all just directory names.

But the convention is to use

  trunk

for mainline code;

  branch/branch-name

for any parallel developments (which may one day get merged into trunk); and

  tags/tagname

to identify a snapshot which does not change.

SVN does not prevent anyone from updating any of the directories,
whereas as I recall, CVS tags were not as easy to update once created.

So a release can be developed in a branch or the trunk; before the
release is finally built the current files should be copied to a
subdirectory of tags.

The tags subdirectory should not be updated once created.



It's called "level" in CMVC, and I just don't want to spend
my time on learning a separate vocabulary for every source
repository system out there :-(

 Roland

The point of a SVN branch is to have an archived version of the
exact files that go into the release. If you have to change a
release after creating the branch, you should update the branch
and re-build the release from scratch. This is the best way to
make sure that releases can be reproduced.

Martin,

Actually, that's not true.  Releases cannot be vetoed by a -1.  See
http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html

If there's a majority approval and at least 3 +1 PMC votes, than it's up to
the release manager to decide whether or not to release.  He can decide to
table the vote based on feedback, if so desired.  (We had this issue in the
release of Velocity 1.5).

I came across some commit message regarding asf-authorization which
contained a list of members of the jakarta-pmc group and he was not
listed there. So I was unsure.

We were voting on the artifacts on people.apache.org/~tv/jcs/, not on
SVN. This is at least what I understood the release-then-vote-policy
means. I have committed the latest changes and moved the tag, however.

If Rony is a PMC member we have a result of 3 +1 votes, which should be
sufficient. However its up to the PMC to decide this.

Hi Thomas,

In the committers-only SVN module is a file board/committee-info.txt
which lists the PMCs of all Apache projects. It's (supposed to be ;-)
the authoritative source. Rony Flatscher is listed there as PMC member.

I'm not sure myself how Sebastian's -1 will be weighed here. I would
have expected that the NOTICE and LICENSE files get fixed and he
changes his vote. As by his last mail on the topic, the content in
SVN did not get fixed. If you changed the release files manually, you
should commit those changes to SVN and give Sebastian some time to
change his vote.

Btw, he asked on legal-discuss about the correct usage of these
files, but I see little point in delaying the release until that
question has been answered.

cheers,
  Roland
