[isabelle-dev] Fork of Isabelle2013-1 release repository TODAY

2013-10-03 Thread Makarius

Dear all,

the fork of the isabelle-release repository will happen today.

Before preparing further commits for the post-release version of the main 
Isabelle repository, please await the second announcement later in the 
evening that the fork has happened, so that we have a clear distinction 
what is meant for Isabelle2013-1 and what for the next release after it.

We are now past point 0 for the coming Isabelle2013-1 relase.  This means:

  * https://bitbucket.org/isabelle_project/isabelle-release/ is where the
final release preparations happen before roll-out in approx. 5 weeks.

There is no push access.  Any changes that are relevant for the
release need to be sent to me via email (produced by "hg export" or
"hg bundle").

The starting point is
https://bitbucket.org/isabelle_project/isabelle-release/commits/65c6a00ff86b

  * http://isabelle.in.tum.de/repos/isabelle is back in post-release mode
right now (changeset 5bf55a713232).  Anything pushed there is for the
next release after Isabelle2013-1.

Big upheaveals should be avoided, so that the release branch can be
merged back cleanly after several weeks; but it is better to publish
small changes now than to stockpile them for a long time.

  * AFP needs to be understood wrt. isabelle-release.

Gerwin will explain his organization of the AFP release for
Isabelle2013-1, based on the afp-devel repository.

  * mira tests isabelle, not isabelle-release

  * isatest tests isabelle-release

  * Isabelle2013-1-RC versions based on isabelle-release will be
announced on isabelle-users soon.

I hope that many people will join the testing efforts on their lazy linux, 
wicket windows, and alien apple machines


There is Bitbucket issue tracking via 
https://bitbucket.org/isabelle_project/isabelle-release/issues, although 
last time it was de-facto just a marginal extension of my private mail 
folder.


I am myself not following the main Isabelle repository in the next few 
weeks, but concentrate on open issues for the release (on isabelle-users). 
Moreover, I will be on vacation from 17-Oct to 04-Nov and make the final 
launch afterwards.  This is why we have some extra weeks for extra 
testing.

A few more hints: any changes for the isabelle-release branch need to be 
prepared wrt. to a recent clone of the above history.  This needs to be 
distinguished from "the" Isabelle repository that is already moving 
forward towards the next release after Isabelle2013-1.


Technical and semantic problems are to be expected by taking changesets 
from http://isabelle.in.tum.de/repos/isabelle and putting them on 
https://bitbucket.org/isabelle_project/isabelle-release/commits


We are in the lucky situation that we normally have only one main branch, 
and don't have to spend the extra resources on managing continuous 
fragmentation and defragmentation of development.  In the next 5 weeks, 
one needs to think twice, though.

Just a reminder, before this all ends in chaos:

   announced on isabelle-users soon.

I am myself not following the main Isabelle repository in the next few 
weeks, but concentrate on open issues for the release (on 
isabelle-users).


So:

  * isabelle-users (not isabelle-dev) is discussing problems and potential
last-minute amendments of release candidates for the final
Isabelle2013-1

  * isabelle-dev is in post release mode (after Isabelle2013-1), like the
main repository.

I am myself not following the latter until the final release is launched 
at the beginning of November. We have a genuine non-linear history until 
it is merged back, and "the" latest version does not make any sense in 
emails to me in the coming weeks.


Since I am on vacation from 17-Oct to 04-Nov, I will be really absent from 
"the" repository and the corresponding isabelle-dev mailing list.


It is important to point out to me explicitly, if there are serious 
problems that need to be reconsidered for the release of Isabelle2013-1. 
The first question to ask if it is newly introduced after Isabelle2013 or 
was there already before.  The second question if a change is more likely 
to improve the situation than causing last-minute problems.

This wording might be misunderstood once again.  It means isabelle-dev and 
the main Isabelle repository are *now* in post release mode, for whatever 
release comes *after* Isabelle2013-1.
