Re: Plans for the Next Apache Knox Release

2014-08-30 Thread larry mccay
All -

Next week, we will be branching for the next release of Knox and begin the
evaluation of outstanding issues that need to get into 0.5.0.

We will then need to starting thinking about the theme and major features
for the next release.
There are a number of exciting features in the wings that will make for a
great offering and we need to plan in order to bring them in smoothly.

thanks,

 There are quite a few fixed and outstanding jiras that would be

 1. Version numbering for the release. I believe that we have a

We can certainly consider that, Ed!
The plan is to branch for the 0.5.0 release around the end of the month.
If we can get the patch contributed before that then will be easier to make
it into the release.
After the branching we will likely be more conservative about patches
applied to the release branch in order to minimize the risk of
destabilizing it.

I would really like to get the SSH tunnel functionality that we've been
working on into 0.5.0.

Can we get KNOX-250 added to the target? I've been a bit short on time to
integrate it back into the master branch and make some updates that Larry
has suggested, but hopefully I can in the coming week or two.

Re: Plans for the Next Apache Knox Release

2014-08-06 Thread larry mccay
Folks -

I'd like to summarize a brief conversation that Kevin and I had today
regarding release planning.

* We should look to branch for a release around the end of August and will
need to scope the release effort with that timeframe in mind
* incompatible changes like repackaging everything will likely pull the rug
out from under work in the community that won't make it in until after this
branching
* changing the groupId would be unlikely to hurt anyone since we are not
currently publishing maven modules with the current id
* if we cut an 0.5.0 release toward end up the month into early Sept then
we can follow up with a 1.0 release once the community has had a chance to
get patches submitted at that time we can take on incompatible changes such
as repackaging

Bottom line proposal: we branch for an Apache Knox 0.5.0 release at the end
of July. We will need to scope the jira's for the release based on this
timeframe. We will include a jira for changing the Maven groupId in this
release. Inflight work in the community will want to get patches in before
the 1.0 work begins and specifically before we repackage if they want to
avoid the thrashing that would be involved with that.

Thoughts?

Plans for the Next Apache Knox Release

2014-08-05 Thread larry mccay
Folks -

I think it is time that we begin talking about the next release for Apache
Knox.

There are quite a few fixed and outstanding jiras that would be candidates
for this release.

We will need to determine a couple things:

1. Version numbering for the release. I believe that we have a couple
options. Having added a number of new features, we will likely make it
0.5.0. It may actually be time to consider a 1.0 release though we will
have to decide on the criteria for this.  Given the discussion on this
topic we will be able to propose an appropriate version number for the
release.

2. What features and bug fixes are desired and expected by the community in
the next release. We have a couple efforts underway by contributors that
should weigh in on their status and commitment to make the next release.

3. A target branch date for the next release. Branching for the
release earlier rather than later will allow us to control which
outstanding features/bug fixes make it into the release but of course will
require multiple pushes when appropriate.

thoughts?
