RE: 3.2 Branch Release Management

At least until someone else comes along and wants to do a 
better job at it :-).

May be you'll need to find someone to do that job to help
you be more on 4.0 ? Someone as proposed to do that some time ago.

PS: What's the status of the RPM packaging for jakarta and xml projects ?

At this point of time, I would suggest that we (committers) go 
ahead and apply
patches as you receive and test them.  When we've accumulated 
enough for another
point release (3.2.2), we can go ahead and propose a temporary 
freeze on patches
until the release is prepared, then open it up again.

There have recently been a couple of security-related BugRat 
reports on 3.2.
Any volunteers to look into these issues and prepare patches for them?

 Subject: 3.2 Branch Release Management
 
 
 Does anyone have any opinions on a process for making commits
 to the 3.2 branch?  Now that I've got my new fancy committer
 status, I'd like to check in some bug fixes there (to mod_jk /
 ajp13).  However, before I do that, I wanted to check if there
 is anyone who is functioning as a Release Manager or anything
 like that.
 
 I'm only planning on checking in some tested bug fixes, just
 to be clear.

Yep -- 4.0 would progress faster (and I would get more sleep :-) if I knew that
3.2 was in good hands.

Last I heard, everyone was positive on the idea.  I'll send you mail privately
on how you can post files on the web server and update the website pages that
point to them (since you're a committer).
